c.j Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 i need a bit of help with balance, i can wheelie on most bikes but i can't stay static with the front wheel in the air. im just wondering whether there were any techniques for this, also i stuggle to balance on uneven ground, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I think i've said this before but pogo sticks, i was always told pogo sticks and to get a inflatable exercise ball and weights then kneel on the exercise ball and try putting different amount of weights in each hand and move them about so not only are you improving balance your building muscle as well, other than that practice just keep trying to get your balance on the back wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic_Boy Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 you keep your balance more when moving e.g. hopping on back wheel on the spot insted of just staying still. its like trying to balance on one foot, its easier hopping around in circles . james.

c.j Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 ok then, i thought i needed to hop around abit more on the bike anyway, and as for the exercise ball idea, ill pass, but its a good idea none the less, id just feel a idiot haha thanks all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 How would a pogo stick help? How can you stay static on them things. It's all down to practise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 i find just riding more to be the best way to gain balence,i rode loads during last summer and i noticed my balance got better . steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Just ride your bike more, it'll come with practise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitbullking69 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Try 'Pause roling', You basically kick as if you were trying to get into a wheelie position and let it roll. When you start to loose balance press the break. Repeat in quick succession and you have youself a pause roll. This 'move' should help to improve balance in general and the initial 'move' can be adapted and changed into a static trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty caz Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 hi , what i do is i put my front wheel on a wall then put my body weight forward then see if i can move across the wall and back. or just stay on the wall for as long as i can you may think its boring but it helps caz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
