Did a wheelie, pulled in clutch instead of tapping hb. Found myself in a magical yet mysterious coaster. Proceeded to crap pants.

it's just not in my head yet to pull the clutch in before the bike stalls, just looking for tips on how to get into the habit..
my buddy recommended idle fag drags and play with pulling in the clutch.. low danger/easy escape haha

Careful with the fag drags cause its a different balance then it is on ss

Fag Drags are the easiest way to join the circle club but I'm not convinced that they teach you anything other than how to look silly during a wheelie.

I had to make myself do it, I would get it up near bp and force myself to slip it in, it just takes practice. Now im such a clutch whore I doubt I could ride w/o it. Having a super pimp ez pull long lever and then some RSC doesn't hurt either

Pulling in the clutch is the easy part releasing and reengaging is the bitch I'm working on now. Good luck. Go out and practice

Fag drags teach you nothin' but bad habits that you eventually have to unlearn
