Re: Who stilll finds?

I couldn't get any grip yesterday, my back wheel was spinning when i tried to wheelie. Last summer I remember it being much easier.

But Birdie & Carlos got it to work.

Re: Who stilll finds?

Ant, my post about practice applies to you too. You gotta keep at it for hours and hours solid, and not get discouraged.

I've got hundred of hours riding experience, but not stunt experience, it all just takes time

Re: Who stilll finds?

We did discuss that lack of grip was an issue though.

Re: Who stilll finds?

When its wet and cold dont use to many revs when trying to pick the front up. Drive it up rather than just dumping the clutch. Otherwise it will just spin. If ya got ya foot in the 12 bar it shouldnt be a prob at all really.
Thats wot i find any way.

Does that fat sprocket make a big difference when traction is low?
