Re: slowing it down

oh yeah, I found that making sure your foot is in the best spot hovering over the brake really helps, I've been making a lot of progress this summer so far, I couldnt get in touch with the BP until I started shifting from 1st to 2nd, then after that I had the wheel in the air long enouph to adjust,then it started to click, but I havent been brave enouph to ride past the bp.

Re: slowing it down

i like to clutch it to 75% of the balance point,and power the last 25%. Sometimes if you clutch it right to the BP it can surprise you.

just push the brake in a wheelie, get used to the sensation of pushing the brake when your on one wheel.
ease it back and mash the brake.
