If I had to guess in the 'worst rider ever' video that guy would probably smoke 98% of the people here on a dirtbike. He's clearly got some/a bit of experience on the dirt. He's pushing the bike below him and sitting mostly upright, probably influenced by the upright riding position of the bike. He looks pretty relaxed on the bike and while his lines aren't tight he's not weaving all over the track.

Lean forward once you've got the front up to 9:45.

Also hold onto the tank with your knees, at least while you're learning, because the last thing you want to do is panic and pull the bars back past the balance point.

Have you ever done a wheelie? Whiskey throttle you immediately close doesn't count.

I'm able to just snap the throttle open in first and wait until I hit the redline and the front comes back down but the thought of using the clutch still frightens me. I've tried it a couple of times in second gear and I just lose the stomach for it, plus I'm afraid of damaging the bike.

BlackMK4 posted:What Apparently the most common mistake people make when learning to wheelie is trying to use the arms to keep their body in place (either to stop falling back or to stop themselves sliding on the seat) and that can change your CoG enough to take you straight past the balance point (or, worst case, make them pull the throttle open a bit further). I say apparently because wheelying is silly and irresponsible behaviour and certainly nothing that I've ever tried to do.

Yeah it's more that as you lift the front, the amount of throttle needed to maintain the wheelie is less the higher you go. So if you don't roll out as you approach balance point, you're gonna loop that poo poo. As you slide backwards on the seat, you tend to open the throttle, and over the falls you go.

That's why I feel more comfortable with clutchups.

nsaP posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq3u9B2FvZ4 The surest sign of a lovely rider is they they're stuffing people on the opening laps and getting passed like they're chained to a post for the rest of the session. Oh, and the inconsistent lines, the random missing apexes, the random gear choices, keeping it in the limiter rather than shifting back into the power...
