Re: Slowing em down

This helped me out alot. keep the forks flat. That's the spot.

If them forks are not horizontal, you aint there yet.

Then steady pressure on the rear brake. It just takes practice. and more practice

Re: Slowing em down

you can drive it to a dead stop with any gearing...you don't need more than 10 meters to pop it up to 12 and stop it...

Re: Slowing em down

yeah I don't have a 12 bar yet as it is on back order for my bike, I do have a fi cage on there. not looking to 12 it yet just trying to get my whoolies stable enough that I can slow right down as our practise rroad ain't the longest in the world
