I've got in a few more lots sessions and I'm starting to consistently be able to pop the front up a few feet. I'm not launching from 20-30km/h, I'm starting from about 3km/h popping up. About 80% of the time its only like 2 feet, sometimes I'll hit about 3?
I've learned a few things that I found aren't really covered all too often.
- clutch play
I'm always concerned about wearing down my clutch plates and when I couldn't get it up, I knew I was burning the clutch more than I wanted. For some reason, I didnt think about it earlier but I adjusted the clutch play so that theres very little. Meaning that if I pulled the clutch all the way in, almost as soon as I let go a little, the clutch would bite.
- clutch fingers
I was always trying to clutch up using 2 fingers. I've read for some its easier with 2 fingers, some with one. I found it easier with one. The strain is a bit more on your hand but its easier to pop the clutch faster. I also have the RSC stunt clutch, medium length. As a result, I had to move my hand more to the outside of the clipon.
Maybe all this is common knowledge but it wasnt for me and it helped. Just thought I'd share my experience.
But anyway so far they're all sit downs....
I'm trying to learn staggered stand up but its soooo akward and uncomfortable. I can't even get the front wheel off the ground doing a staggered.
Anyone have any tips? And how have your experiences been like learning?
