Re: how frusterated were you when you started stunting?
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

Re: how frusterated were you when you started stunting?
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

Re: how frusterated were you when you started stunting?
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

Re: how frusterated were you when you started stunting?
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![2 Cents](https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/images/smilies/objet23.gif)
Keep it up though its a great feeling when you nail a trick (even better with some one watching)

Circle frustration sucks!!!!! Can kill them on fiddy but not big bike and can't figure that out. ![banghead](https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/images/smilies/banghead.gif)
Just my two cents here, get a fiddy or smaller more forgiving bike to learn ballance point on. Even a quad would help too.![2 Cents](https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/images/smilies/objet23.gif)
Lastly and if you don't have any riders your probably not going to have anyone to take pictures but that helps as well.

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.
