Progress Pics

I've been really busting *** to learn wheelies on my F4i this year and I'm getting closer and closer everytime I go out. Anyway, here are a couple of pics and a vid from Saturday at the lot. I still suck and I know I'm not at bp but I'm getting closer, little by little. I'm getting pretty consistent on my clutch ups so now its just a matter of getting higher and higher... then there is the small matter of brake control. Be gentle
