ok i have been doing the clutch 1st sit downs for awhile. Well today I tried my first 3rd gear 45 mph bounce, bounce, flick clutch. It was a stand up and it came up a little but for some reason it felt weird so I sat down. I was NOT staggered. Any pointers?

haha well im taking it slow first. I dont mean the speed. I guess it's the way I am positioned on the bike. You think staggered would feel a little more natural?

no sir.. and slower wheelies are a lot harder.. just remember that.. any ******* can ride a 100mph wheelie.. it takes a lot of skill to slow that down.. speed it up a lil.. then slow it down..

If going for a 3rd gear stand up go about 50-55 which will make you up in the power more, if you want to go 40-45 stick with 2nd, but 3rd at 55 is much easier because you're going faster. Get comfortable then slow it down to 45 in 3rd and focus on keeping the speed low once up.
