Anyone got any tips? I can get it to lift quite high but I cant keep it up for long :(

mostly practise try sitting more towards the back of your bike untill you find the balance point and just try and keep the revs up i find using the rear brake is very important

just find the peak point of you power then tug on the handle bars























the full rev ,make sure you dont have your hands on the back brake so you find yourself on you bottm :w00t: (nahhh im jokin dont do that)

sit whatever makes you fell comfortable. just slowly bring it up higher and higher and pulling the back brake until you trust yourself with it,


then bring it up and come off the throttle, and come back on and you should go for abit longer, basically do this until yur confident to adjust your position in the air to keep it straight like usually im too paniky when it gets up then i cant move the bars or anything just relax and think about what movements youve gotta make.

Hold on the rear brake and rev the nuts off the engine, then let go of the brake and pull the bars as hard as you can.

Don't cover the brake.

I find that giving a little bounce on the rear shock helped to bring my bike up when standard
