Here is my experience with a 50.
I stared riding an 05 636, was introduced to the stunt scene and wanted in. I started pow pow wheelies on my 05 but was to scared to get to BP cuz I didnt want to fuk up my minty bike (that I was still making payments on) I couldnt afford another bike at the time....
A friend was selling his 50 so I jumped on that and bought it up quick. (now remember I have only ever done pow pow wheelies in my life) I got the 50 and started to learn it. I started with "dual" fag drags...lol I had bot my feet planted on the ground as I rode a wheelie, and in time got to 1 foot. I could ride no foot wheelies on my 50 for short distances.
This stayed like this for a few weeks. Then one day it clicked. I was able to ride across the lot with both feet up, and began to use the rear brake. After a few days I could go everywhere on one wheel and had the rear brake down pretty good. Only time I would loop it was because of the damn under powered HB cable system on the damn 50's.....
Then one day I got an 04 636 stunt bike. I ws riding the 50 for about a year prior to this. I was bitch at first, I was scared. I almost didnt want to have to learn cuz I thought I would fall down go boom!
After a few days of squid power clutch ups, my friends got me on stagard stand ups. and I never once crashed learning BP. I wouldnt catch BP right off the bat but after 20 minutes I was soo close. After a day or 2 I was at BP! Not on it for too long but I was hitting it on and off.
I did go down once from a mouse trap in the early going thats it..
This was last year.... Now I can do more but by all means not very good..
That is my progression on BP from a 50 to a 636 ninja. From never ever using the rear brake in a wheelie on a big bike to having it come naturally after I was on a 50...
IDK, thats me.
Everyone is different. Alot of people say FUK 50's THEY'RE GAYER THAN AIDS... maybe..but it worked for me...
