i am in the same boat i have been trying it for a minute till my bike broke just clutch up to bp and if your idle is high it willcatch and start pulling butif you start chasing them just brake and start all over clutch from a dead stop and staggered is what i found works best

something is better than nothin

ya i'm one of the ones ducky is talkin about, i got a lil better at it but i can still only go prob 20ft or so before i go left or right or drop it, and i can't get to where i use my handbrake either i think i might need to put it in a different position

[SIC J]

heres the best idea i can give you...... make a lil video clip of yourself and post it up. that way we can see what youre doing wrong.

you look realy tense! Relax a little and have fun with it..... It also apears that you're stabbing the brake, which is part of learning... focus on being smooth and keep practicing... Can't be afraid to let the bike come back, it's a weird feeling at first, but it becomes second nature when you get it down...

[Grant338]

Thanks man, i definatly was hittin the brake to hard i'd have to get back on the gas to bring it back up, anything else anybody can tell us would be great thanks

+1 on the overbraking.... don't let it eat ya up!
I'm no expert that's for sure, but heck... I still do it sometimes too.
Just remember why you started doin this in the first place and go have fun with it!Make those girls get back in their underwear and ride that dirt bike again, that'll help!!! LOL BOOOOOOBIES!!! LOL

Also if I take too long of breaks inbetween sesh's then it seems to toss me back to where I'm either cutchin it straight to the bar, or chasin it for a few wheelies till it clicks again.
I can usually stop these problems by runnin a lil higher idle, and trying to conciously NOT touch the brake at all... and then the next thing I realize is that I'm just barely draggin the brake, sometimes more... sometimes less. And I'm using only Tiny, TINY blips of the throttle.... and that's usually when I notice that I'm unconciously doing it without all the overthinking... Woo HOO!!!


Then I wreck... LMAO!



Also don't forget if you get in trouble to just pull in the clutch and let it just fall to the bar and then just jog behind it till it stops...

It's definately something you just get the feel for.. I mean people can give you little tips here and there, but honestly nobody is going to be able to crawl inside your head and tell you what to do exactly. It's all muscle memory.... keep at it! You'll get it!!!!
