Redneck Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 try putting your butt lower to the ground and behind the rear axle. to me it kinda feels like sitting in a seat but it used to make me feel like i was gonna flip over. i tend to exaggerate this when i do drops and such, keeps the rear tire up even if i have good forward momentum. just have faith in your brakes.

gage-mann Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 ite sam, your back brake seems to work very well, like whats been said get your butt over the back wheel more and absorb the drop more, you'll get it soon am sure mate, you seem to learn well and listen maybe take some air out of your back tire?

chiefy Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Get as low down to the frame as you can it really helps to keep balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtchell Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Allow your legs to bend while having your arse low helps out alot If your just hopping on the back wheel, try keep the bike up more vertical just stops you from hopping all over But end of days all things come with practice.
