Hype Rocket OUT NOW.
I'm trying to get better.
I'm trying to get like you.
I guess I'm tired of my voice.
They're slick.
I don't know.
Why?
They morph the track.
Well, I mean, I'm back and forth.
I go to the track.
So I just got to work with what I got.
Wait, wait, there's no handbrake on there.
What?
That's just crazy.
Nice.
I want to put more weight on my ass.
Huh?
That's just, I don't know, they make it look so easy.
I'm like trying to get my balance down.
That's a lot better.
I took some air pressure out.
Like, ah!
Scrape that ----.
On a knee knocker?
On anything.
Oh, I just started scraping like a week ago.
Well, then drag it.
I ain't dragging it.
All right now.
I'll give you a little something something.
How so?
Throw it back.
Yeah?
Smooth.
Let it glide into the straight.
It's in a break.
Let it glide.
Don't hit it so hard.
But I feel like I lose all my momentum.
And then I like, it cuts off on me.
You're going to start going too slow.
You got to go at that right speed where it's gliding.
And then you come right back up and keep going to the gas.
Be smoother.
So roll back into it.
That one right there.
Don't bend this.
I got to glide it.
Told me to focus on locking in and getting that weight off my hands.
I do like a couple laps and my hands are already aching up.
All right.
So I'm trying to work on shift locking and working that into muscle memory.
Come on, I can get it.
It's so beautiful out here.
I'm like still putting pressure on my hands.
So I need to lock in way better.
Come on.
We're going to get it.
I'm not going to focus on scraping.
I'm focused on like controlling.
Still putting some pressure on my hands.
So I can try to lock in like this.
That was kind of interesting.
Like very interesting, actually.
So I put my whole foot under, shifted up with it, and then locked my foot under.
But again, I'm always drifting to the left.
So I need to sit a little bit to the right, I think.
I like kind of like it, but like it kind of hurts my foot.
So I got to just do better.
I probably need forces.
Let me sit back further.
So as I go back, I put more pressure on my hands.
It's quiet.
It's awesome.
That's so sick.
I didn't even see you.
I'm doing good.
How are you?
I know.
It's because I got this, dude.
I wasn't going to learn on a big bike.
I got to learn how to, I guess, not clutch in.
Oh.
Nice.
Holy ----.
I locked in the other way.
Oh man, that's tough.
So he pulls up to it.
So he's saying lean forward.
Golly.
Just follow me from the left side and watch out for my legs.
Okay.
He's locking in like all the way.
I see.
Yeah.
Damn.
Okay.
Oh, wait.
This looks so cool.
That thing looks so much fun.
Nothing.
Back to the OG.
Oh, it's starting to rain.
A little pitter patter.
I'm slowly getting there, but I need to use my upper body.
Tell me that's not awesome.
Oh, man.
Oh, come on.
Oh.
All right, I need to like hold my legs in a little bit more
I'm like still centered on my seat
Oh
That's so cool
Yeah
He did all that with no no handbrake
Golly this is awesome
That was spicy
That's awesome
Whoa
My pegs pulled up, too
Yeah, so and you're just like right here
Wait, you're you're locking all the way behind. Yeah, and I mean, I mean I I have a hump c2 but still if i'm doing this
So that's a different one
Yeah, that's that's why I don't put my foot down there
I feel like when like at least on this like when I lean forward a little bit and i'm not like all the way back
Like this. Yeah, I have way more control in every bike that I wheelie
I bring the bike up to me my body my upper body my neck and my head don't don't change position
Okay, that makes sense. Like if I so if the bike comes up and when it comes up you just
You meet it in the middle. So you're bringing the bike up. I let it bring it
I let it come up to me and then and then I meet it in the middle I bounce
Yeah, so he's bringing his upper body forward
Honestly just play with it bro. See what's comfortable if you're comfortable hugging your knees and moving your upper body try it bro
Let's see it. Let's see
One way to find out
So it feels better
But not to the point where I could drop a hand I still put pressure on my uh,
Right here by my calluses like a typical wheelie where I bring it up to me if i'm doing a one hit or no hand
I lean back a little bit just so just so i'm not pulling the bars, you know
All my kicks on my tailbone and it's like on the speed of the bike
I get it. I get it
So
Ha ha ha
So weightless!
Try and move up.
It's making sense!
Okay, now I'm getting hype. Hold on.
Thank you.
You're killing it!
Dude, I'm telling you, there's no science to it.
At the end of the day, it's balance. You have to figure it out.
Yeah.
I don't have steady pegs, so yours is going to go up.
So if anything, I put my foot here,
under my frame.
But what about the chain?
Yeah, mine doesn't really hit my chain.
That's what I get scared about.
If anything, I turn my foot and I'm like this.
I only learned that way because when I learned how to lock, I had a broken foot.
So I couldn't...
I wasn't doing heel here and that
because my heel was broken.
So I just locked underneath.
My DRZ doesn't have...
It doesn't have a grippy seat. It's literally like ******* plastic.
So I can't wheel it without locking it.
So that's the only way you were...
So you're going like in...
Oh my gosh.
I mean, that feels good, but I definitely get scared about the chain.
Well, this is my first time ship locking.
So I tried this one.
And I tried this one.
And I'm trying to figure out which...
If anything, you can get like...
Because this one is most reliable for you right now
with the type of pegs you have.
And then if you do something like this...
See how that moves?
So you could even get like stationary pegs
where you can go under or over.
Okay. Thank you. I'm going to try this out.
See what happens.
Turn it in.
You don't have to be flat against your chain like this.
Just turn it.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going under frame or under the peg?
Because you're just kind of going to want to be like...
I just want to be on my toe.
I don't know if I can do that because I don't know if my foot can sit over
comfortably.
There are so many different ways to do it.
You just have to find the worst way.
We'll find out. Thanks.
After...
First of all, this is going to be really sore later.
In your groin. From locking.
At the top of your foot. But the first thing you learn
after doing locks
because you feel how much pressure is off your hands
is one-handers.
That's what I'm trying to get to.
Let go before you let go.
Don't hold.
Then you'll feel it.
So just like baby steps here.
But I still feel pressure so I don't think I'm there yet.
But with your legs.
You know how when you do sit-ups
without something, it's a lot harder?
If you were to lock your feet under something,
sit-ups are easy. It's the same exact thing.
When you're working on a specific muscle,
think about that muscle. Think about putting the weight
in your leg. You know what I'm saying?
When you're trying to think about putting the weight in your leg,
you almost sit into the thing.
It's really weird to explain until you feel it.
I'm going to have to just go try to do
a bunch of coasters
and while I'm up there just coasting,
sit there and think about it.
Literally think, when you're in the wheelie,
think about if you were to let go
right now, how the **** would you hold onto the button?
Your legs. You're right.
You know what I mean? Yeah, sure.
Because that's how people do no-handers and ----.
So she's just locking under there.
I know. I know.
Alright, go up and try to move the bars.
Alright.
Okay.
My foot in more.
I was going to get it today.
Okay. Okay.
Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Smooth.
You got it, bro.
Okay. We got there.
We learned something.
So I'm able to drop my hand
while I'm on the gas.
Right? So like below balance point.
I'm not at that
point yet.
So are you talking like my balance might get thrown off?
Or...
Always be easy on it.
Easy on the brakes.
It's almost better, especially when you're trying to coast farther.
Try to clutch it up
a little slower so you're not going crazy fast.
And take your hand off
and try to drop back one hand.
You don't have to throw your hand around.
You can keep it right there just to be ready.
Take your hand off and try to drop back with it.
Without riding the brake.
So I'm just going to have to get smooth with it.
Because second gear is a little torquey.
It's just a little different. That's all.
So you're saying...
So first you're saying when I go back
to coast to hit balance point,
tapping the rear brake.
What you're doing is fine.
The whole coasting and hitting the brake and all.
But I'm saying with one hand off
it's going to feel a lot different.
It's going to be scary and you're going to want to ride the brake.
Until you get comfortable with it.
So when you try to drop back one handed
just be a little easier on the brake.
In your head you don't think about it
but when you drop back one handed when you're first learning it
you want to be on it.
Not knowing it.
So when you start dropping back...
Some of them yes.
Some of them no.
I don't think so.
I do it unconsciously now.
Thank you.
So I really got to hold my legs
if I want to go for this one hand and balance point.
I'm just mad focused right now.
Not worried about talking.
Oh my gosh. The amount of progress that I've made today
is wicked.
Rear?
Oh ----.
Oh this is so weird.
That's so weird.
Dude how do you wheelie this?
How do you wheelie this?
Dude it's like...
It's a Tesla.
So I recommend starting from a stop.
And dragging a foot or two.
Kind of getting used to the throttle on the balance point.
And then wheelie it down.
It won't come up and as soon as it does
it's up.
That's weird.
There's nothing to move around.
Keep my finger on the rear brake.
Finger just...
On the left.
And just get used to go up tap.
Go up tap.
This is weird and awesome.
I like it. That's sweet.
That's my first time on a Surron ever.
Working that thing.
Nice.
Hello.
Yeah I figured instead of dropping I can just wave.
It's crazy in one day
that I've done all that.
To the point where I'm leaving it up to my subconscious
to hit the rear brake.
When I'm dipping back.
You're just doing it all day.
I have to focus on this.
You're focusing on doing this instead.
That's something that's already in your mind.
This is nice dude.
I've been practicing on the streets.
And I definitely want to come to more lot days.
Because you don't have to worry about cars.
It's the same thing like a track day.
This is my first lot day. I'm not going to lie.
Mine too. My official first one.
This is nice.
This is a nice Sunday.
There's so many people to give you advice to.
And to watch too.
That's the biggest thing.
