I just started about 1 1/2 weeks ago and have been going almost everynight for about an hour and i can't get bp for **** its so frusterating.. what did you guys do or how did you deal? I dont know any other riders out here to ride with and learn so im kinda on my own.

it's hard to ride alone and not too safe either when you are learning cause you will crash , try to get some friends to at least hang out while you are try to get balance point and who knows maybe they will decide to join in the fun...lol

now for the riding advise ..lol
if your trying to do slow wheelies then clutch it up quick and save it with the rear brake , clutching it up from a dead stop will help you be consistent and the quicker you get it up the slower you will be going when you get there ..

good luck, have fun and be careful

well my friend you better get used to the frustration cause after you learn bp,then you gotta learn......? then.......? then.....? just wait till the circle frustration gets ahold of ya It sucks you gotta learn the hard way with nobody to steer ya in the right direction but stay dedicated,We all still get pissed and frustrated riding with other people,especially when they make **** look sooooo easy and it ends up being so difficult for you to learn.just learning **** you couldn't do before should be enough to motivate you to keep at it.It's not a sport for the weak,SO be tough and grind your *** off.you'll see,every little thing you improve on will keep you wanting more.I don't know if ya ever saw the movie "Radio"with Cuba Gooding Jr.but Radio said it best when he said"dont quit-dont quit-dont quit"

I ride alone. I just go for like a half hour and then go get a coke and chill and then go back to the spot and do that. Don't get frustrated its like everything and takes time. Sucks to ride alone but I just don't try staying out for hours or it becomes like a job with nobody to talk to..... you will get it if you don't give up. Good luck and keep that cell in your pocket. If your phone doesn't have emergency contacts already at least add ICE In Case Of Emergency that way if you dead in the gutter someone can call your mom or who ever.....lol

riding with people helps alot i think. I'm in colorado springs if you ever want to come south a bit to ride, hit me up. i"ve gotten frustrated many times, but like somebody already said get used to it, constantly trying to learn more when riding...


edit: are you still selling a 636, it says something under your name... lol

just wait till the circle frustration gets ahold of ya


^^^I'm there and its the worst thing ever

Also i learned balance point by riding this abandoned street with friends but its a bad idea

I ride alone its ok but every now and then you need to ride with others to see how they do things.
I ride for 20 mins and take a break for my arms and legs to recover(40 this year) As most of my good crashs happen when my fore arm lacks power. Learning one finger clutch and one rear brake also saves alot of spills
Keep it up though its a great feeling when you nail a trick (even better with some one watching)

i had just got bp a couple of weeks ago and was turning 5 circles in the second day of tryin them im still in the fustrating stages cause i went and rode yesterday and couldn't even get bp and last week i was rockin O's so its a up and down hill battle the good thing about it is that i get to ride wilth some people that know what the **** there doin and are hella kool to were they give plenty of advice and will stop me if they see me not doin something right thats what more people neede to start doin instead of being dick and just talkin **** about a squid help them out make this sport more enjoyable for every one

oh yeah and make sure your bike is set up proper to dont get ghetto

worst 2 weeks ever.........

Circle frustration sucks!!!!! Can kill them on fiddy but not big bike and can't figure that out.

Just my two cents here, get a fiddy or smaller more forgiving bike to learn ballance point on. Even a quad would help too.

Lastly and if you don't have any riders your probably not going to have anyone to take pictures but that helps as well.

ride longer than an hour

spend the day at the lot

IMR-Merlin

+1 for this.....
Always ride with someone else!!!!

As for frustrating, I ghost rode my bike into the woods a couple of times when I was learning circles. I still have issues with them on certain days. BP is hard to get if you have nobody around for advice. Just hook up with some local guys on here and see if you can ride with them.

corey17

I just started learning bp and having friends around that know what there talking about and the ones who will stop and help yu is the best thing ever and yu have to ride prolly like 2 or 3 hours in the lot I think I ride like 4

IMR-Merlin

2 weeks, took me almost a full season.....

old man roger

took me about 4 months didnt have any one to teach me

IMR-Merlin

Yeah, definitely frustrating. Didn't help having wonder boy Teach at the lot killing **** all the time either. I wanted to kick him off his bike half the time.

just know it can be done and keep at it!
