it says FIB...
ok, advice... Lean forward!!! that will help a lot... the weight has to be COMPLETELY off you hands before you can pull this off... also, only put the tip or up to the ball of your foot in the bar to start with... reason being if you have to bail and your WHOLE foot is in there it can get caught and drag you down with the bike... easy way to break an ankle!!!
Good luck, take it slow, practice practice practice and you will get them!!!
