well today had my first sit down 12 and well it didnt goes as plan i ended up with a nice swalen knee cap i was there got it to coaster then gave it abit more and hit the bar bike went all snakey and i forgot to press the back brake and come off no pain no game

 

yer sounds bout right that happend to me on a stand up once or more lol
u gota find that rear brake or it will keep happening

 

you mean you flipped lol
been there a few times m8 you gotta get back break on lock before you are attempting the bar
as long as your not hurt to bad and hows the bike

 

come on scotty mate you are gonna tear yourself to shreds............baby steps (its not about scrapin the bar its about slowing your wheelies down then you wont have to try... you can then do it at will!)

concentrate on throttle, clutch and brake control because that is what you need to be good to do any stunt apart from acro's


so dont go bustin yourself up..... me and nick both took six months to scrape but when we do its not an accident it is easy but you gotta learn the control first see!!!!

GO EASY OR YOU WILL DO YOURSELF HARM

Plus its more fun when all the practice comes together see!

 

also sorry if i sounded like a dad

 

see!!!

 

i could sort of see this coming after watchin you ride last weekend. dont rush it, you need to learn to be smooth on the throttle before you even try and slow them down or even think about scraping.
there's no rush, it's all about fun, and your not gona learn anythin sitting in a hospital bed

keep it safe and off the roads for now

 

jeeezz why do people rush so much?

I've NEVER flipped my bike, (well, I flipped the KTM once and yes I've dropped my CBR from 12 but only stepping off after setting it on the 12 bar, not from flipping) it took me a long time to scrape, but I could wheely pretty slow and controlled and smooth before I did it and the first time I did it wasn't tooo bad..

I'm trying to rush learn a bit now, but I think its a bit different as I'm going slow so I don't really care if I fall off..

but scotty I've seen vid of you ride and you're just starting out, forget scraping, its not impressive if its uncontrolled, dangerous and most of all.. you fall off!

take it easy dude and do what Nick told me when I was rushing to 12...

LEARN TO WHEELY SLOW, TRY TO WHEELY SLOW .. scraping will come with going slow not from trying to 12.

Don't care if I sound like a dad, hypocrite or whatever... I dont wanna see anyone get hurt from rushing into the 1 thing that really takes some time and is important to learn.. when you can go slow and controlled falling off isnt too bad, but when you're starting you are (everyone is) fast and choppy and thats when it can really hurt.

 

yer i remeber what lee said to me at the TT
if it goes over 20 mph put down and try again

and small spots can help as u gota get high quick
can u wheelie without puting in any more power level throtal?

 

Yes I can idle wheelie now with no throttle (but can't take hand off fully yet), need a bit more refinement, bit more practice but I've pretty much got it.. riding again at weekend, gonna try no throttle hand.. prob fall off again tho but practice makes perfect

 

yer scotty baby steps. it took me ages to. plus it wasn't the best time to scrape in the middle of brum at a car cruise with cop cars there. you were lucky.

 

cool i have just started with messing with the clutch
got lameo costers
but wana stop stalling my wheelies so gota learn clutch and softer brake control

 

keep at what i said. and clutch and break will become one. then you wont even think about it, every time you break you'll be going for the clucth in slow wheelies without it crossing your mind.

work on them coasters and that will get you light on the break, thats all your doing wrong at the min. master that and you'll be goin for circles in a few weeks

 

i had all those coment thrown at me scotty boy and i didnt like them either ,but you gotta listen to the people that know .... and trust me they all know how to ride ,,.
practice makes perfect mate and chasing that 12 bar wont help ya im not even putting 1 on my new bike till im very close or very controlled
we only care m8 ....


alstar ,,, loved the coasters the other day was jumping round like a school kid when i see ya do it and the geezers next to me were like, what hwat what did he do different lol

 

one i didnt flip it cause it fell forward i jumped off maybe i aim going abit quick but if you dont set yourself target and you dont go for them you will never do them i wanted to scrap this weekend and i have yes it didnt goes as planned and i can do slow stand ups because i got my rear peg but yes it wasnt the best place to do it but the adrenalin took over it was like grease street up there it was covered in it and the camber was a joke and yes i no i should of thought about this before i even started wheelie up and down but now i no what to look for flat roads factory estate or car park not main road and use the back brake thanks for all caring and i will sort myself but that doesnt mean im going to try new things while buffering up on my skills thanks guys will see you all soon hopefully better controlled and alot slower then everything will come together so plan is keep it slow keep it controled use the brake and and pain will be very little billy hurry up and get that nahd of yours healed i want to get your out there doing your tricks aswell as plained

 

Breathe man, we're all friends here.

And use some commas ffs.

 

i lost my comma button

 

Hey good luck with the 12s, and get well soon.

Might see some of you others in the new year.

 

and breath

it was a flip, and i understand what your saying about setting a target. but why not set a target to do seat stander circle's and combo's then??? cuz it's not gona happen like that, thats why.

set a target like break control, then idle then 12'in. and have a taget for a few months time to scrape.
it's all part of the same pitcher:YEAH
