I suck...get that out the way. Just started trying but A-it kills my wrist and B-**** happens so fast. Anyways yes I will go practice, just wondering peoples thoughts and how long it took to become natural... o' Im still working on the rear brake and getting ok Like I finally 12 and scrapped but fell of like a *** but getting there. I had a 954 and learning was slow. bought killswitch' bike and in 2 days am getting alot more comfortable

 

are you talking about 1 finger on clutch and one on HB at the same time? i only learned that way and it got even eaisier when i got a stronger handbrake for my weak ***.

 

yup. thats what im talking about. I mean I guess it needs to become instinct. So how long untill everyone was the master of one on the clutch one on the brake

 

HB on my bike was really touchy and that wasn't a problem .but the clutch with one finger was a pain in the ***. just keep doin it and workin that hand.

my throttle forearm and hand used to burn so bad but after a few weekends it started settling down. same thing with the 2finger HB/clutch ****

 

With an easy pull clutch lever and a good strong hand brake you should have it down in just a couple sessions.

 

It took me a couple of sessions to get completely used to it

 

It took me no time to get 'used' to it, and able to clutch straight to a stall or somthing


but I still haven't even attempted a coaster with my hand brake..
but mainly because my hand brake sucks and I don't think my bikes gonna come back down without engine brake

 

i guess i havent actually mastered it yet because every once i while i whille be stalling out of a circle and give it way to much gas and dump the clutch and then bike goes smash.

 

I crash when i do off the peg coasters mousetrap city

 

I don't think he means master it E.......just get used to it.

 

haha! well I have no excuses then I will get right on it. It just feels wierd and I always let go of the handbrake and just attack to foot to save my *** did that like 3 times yesterday to save my ***. Just feels wierd hanging on with 2 fingers so far. O'well,,,, now I have a set up stunter so I can crash all I want, untill it breaks, fix and and go again.

 

Master..... Forever!!!

 

edit...how long to feel comfortable or confident with it is what it should have said... thanks for all the info....

 

Everyone is different homie..... Just do it till your comfortable

 

Dont get ahead of yourself. Master foot brake first.

 

****......I guess I'll be the first to admit that a year ago I honestly didn't think I had the coordinaton to EVER get used to "two finger" operation of the HB and clutch, but here I sit a year later and I now feel pretty damn good doin it........time and dedication, man....you'll get it.

 

When I first started using my HB I practiced skidding around the lot - pulling the clutch in with one finger and then mashing on the brake with the other. Once I was able to do that I did FIB wheelies using the HB and then back pegs then SS. It took me 2 days to get comfortable with it. Good luck

 

+1

I didnt get a handbrake untill i could tear up footbrake. Otherwise its too much to try to grasp both hand and footbrake concepts. It took like 2 hours riding to be "confident" after having footbrake nailed.

 

10 minutes, 15 maybe

 

hell yeah 10 minutes.... think im sticking to the foot I keep getting confuse. Guess I just wanted to be all pimp like all of your avatars. hey thanks for the info' think the skidding around the lot will be good **** a little down the road for me
