Trying to get on one wheel...

Alright, so how did you guys get over the fear of bringing up the front tire? I been trying them in 1st gear and finaly today forced myself to keep my feet on the pegs for the 2 sec. that my wheel actualy leaves ground.. I want it to come up and stay there but i kinda panic and drop the trottle when it happens. :crash

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat.:fact

baby steps....baby steps

those things in your pants......that would be your balls, reach in there and pull them out!!!!!!!!!! J/k dood ....practice, practice, practice.........start out small and work your way up from there....fear is what keeps you from landing on your nooging

motorcross:dunno

not yet, i have a WR250. theres just a little jump in the area i ride :riding

Sweet I used to ride 250 class...........yz 250 a few years back....ooohhh what a work out that was. pretty much street now. I still have my motocross bike and putt around every now and again but dont take it to any trakes...dayum I miss those days.

well i wanted to get a street bike but my parents said no way to that one.. at least i've got something to start with and i know what you mean about a work out, my arms were sore for 3 days after last weekend :lol

very smart move.... thats where I started.... you wont regret it in the long run....do they have any good dirt tracks in Fl.

havn't been looking around to much, but i know theres one in Dania about 5 min from my work. i've been trying to work on controling the bike better before going out on a track

Originally posted by prnstar123 That also means you shouldn't be trying to ride wheelies!:2bitchsla well, it is trying to control it right? just in a little different way :lol after watching Jason putt around on his rear wheel for half the day on his 100, he just made it look so damn easy..

practice and time. Your fear is causing you to let the front end down. The balance point on a dirt bike is pretty high up there. Just keep trying and you will continue to get better. I have no problem on the dirt, it's when I get on the street that I loose my nuts! I am going to the family in the dirt again soon, I'll let you know when and where. Believe it or not my boys are pretty good teachers.

cool, sounds like fun :thumbup where do you guys normaly go?

we used to go up to WPB, but I think that riding area has issues right now. My brother went to naples last weekend and said it was awesome.

i may have to get better wheels for my trailer to go that far..

Originally posted by Outlaw13 i may have to get better wheels for my trailer to go that far.. is the trailor brand new? If so then why would you have to get better ones.

cause there small.. i don't like to do more then 45 mph because of that. after thinking about it, i'll probibly just rent one of those u-haul pickups for the drive :)

It's goes right into the hitch on you car and you just tie you bike down on it. Then you have no trailor.. Just a thought.

besides Air Dania, there is a new track located out on Snake Rd., where Big Billy's Swap Safia is.

Just a thought. thought about that one too, but the hitch only holds 200lbs and the bike is 240lbs.. oh well, i'll just rent a truck for long trips :p

Throttle control! when the front end comes up, your gonna have to close it up a bit so you dont loop, then you gotta try and keep it steady. Take your time though.

For doing a wheelie on a motocross its easier to do a rolling one 3rd gear ease off the throttle the whack it right back , it will come up a lot smoother and controled ,1st and 2nd gear is a bit severe for learning with, you could flip it then you wont have no balls at all .

I might as well jump in here, cant say I can help the wheelie situation, I havent been into dirt long, but I just moved back down from Detroit and need to find some place to ride dirt. Ive noticed you guys ride on sundays and would like to at least get out and burn some fuel if you guys have a local place to ride. Keep me posted. -Dave

you got a PM dave :riding

I would love to get back into riding my CR 250 I did alot of racing when I was younger but in the last few years the bike has been only been out a few times and otherwise sitting collecting dust in the storage unit. No place to ride here in south Florida. I used to go to homestead and mess around on that small track because I know I'm too rusty to play with the big boys at Dania.

I Still have not found my nuts and been able to hold em long enough to get past a 1 second or 2 wheelie...

Originally posted by boomhauer Any pics of this magical contraption? Linkies? :dunno Do a search for a compay called Moto Tote. Danny is right, all I have seen require serious hitch assembly.
