if you didnt notice i wheelied first and second to redline

its all about where you put the nose dood. if i nail first im going to loop. not good. so you roll on the throttle and let the front end come up about 2 feet that way your still gaining massive amounts of speed till redline. you have to learn how to keep the front end where its at while still rolling the throttle, it takes practice but if you want it bad enough you'll learn. you really need to stop being afraid of the front end coming up. you will never get better if you dont get used to it. your on a 14 its going to fucking happen.

what i want you to do is get in first on a whole lotta open road. i want you to roll on the throttle more and more untill the front end lifts up. once you start getting used to it you'll notice that once its up you can controll it where ever you want. want to go higher just add a slight amount more throttle and gain some speed and just a tad bit of air. you just need throttle control practice. thats why your launches suck fucking ass. because you get scared when the front end comes up and you drop it right to the ground. once you lose your peak hp the front end usually will come back down on its own near redline if you manage to keep the front end about a foot off the ground. otherwise you'll tack out in the air and that sucks! also make sure there is no play in your throttle.
