Question: At BP are you making a lot of body position shifting? Forwards and backwards with your torso? Or are you just manipulating the brake lever only.
Sometimes I come up nice and it feels like BP but it's not. But, my form is good, I think. Head up looking forward to where I want to go. Slightly off the seat with minimal brake input. But I tend to shift my body around a lot.

My second pic is almost perfect form. I need to look up a bit more bit good other than that. I'm not at bp in either pic. Still a little low but that is a safe height for me to roll at unless I'm really pushing for distance. Only time I use front or back body movement is in the pick up I pull up with my knees or when I start going over frontwards and have to such close to the bike. <-- not fun. Haha other than that its pressure on the bars and tank to steer
Sounds like my pick up is good then, I do the same thing with my body and knees. So I can assume that I'm nowhere near BP then. That's a relief cause I can get over the mental block of flipping it.
I just need to bring it up higher intially rather than plowing into it then rolling.
More practice........

I have yet to flip a strait stoppie. I roll over the front sometimes doing a 180 or get tossed doing kangaroo but the strait ones I've been lucky.
