Seat Standers - nickalltogether - 03-10-2006

I've been trying seat standers lately.... they're coming along, but does anyone else get sick wobble? I've only been doing them in second gear clutching it at around 30...

on a normal wheelie i generally ride it balanced at about 40mph, but these I don't get very close to bp and they're wobbly... which is what keeps me from getting them any higher i think....

any general seat stander advice would be appreciated.

what's your tire pressure? that could have a small part in it.

I'm thinking it's your throttle control. If you're the least bit twitchy with the throttle, the bike will wobble...especially at higher RPMs.

i think i'm in the ballpark of 20 psi. and i may be a bit twitchy on the throttle... on standups i'm super smooth, but when i try other things i tend to get twitchy due to the uncertainty of a new trick... i'll just have to practice.

practice should help a lot. I can fix the wobbles with using the HB but it's a cop-out, I need to work on smoother throttle also.

i'd definitely be alot less fearful with a HB... like i said though, I'm super smooth normally, just can't smooth out the SS yet.

i don't want to get a HB really... i think it would help my confidence though... now that i've somewhat learned the brake, i can slow down wheelies and all that good jazz, but i also hold light pressure on the brake even at bp... i just need a little more smoothness and i'll be set, i'm getting better everyday.

I used mine as a crutch because I was scared of looping, I got mine way early and it didn't help at all.
