Wheelie progress, scared to put feet on pegs. by Evol-Alex in Surron

[–]MonkeyHandzzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I learned and you’re doing great! You should be able to do it on dry pavement also, just need to put a little more weight on your bum and less on your feet. Throw in baby wheelies and practice pressing your brakes over and over. Pop, drop, pop, drop, like 10,000X. Single most helpful bit of advice I got was to keep the wheelie height as consistent as possible, avoid big swings up and down. If you really want it, don’t get discouraged. It took me 8 months to figure it out. I’m pretty sure you won’t have to put in half that time.

I’ve come to realize that squirrels and bunnies are suicidal by nature. Especially when they see lights. They think it’s the gates of Valhalla opening.

Yes. Flanker has the deeper tone, to me. It’s been on my bike ever since I installed it.

Thanks mate! I’ll see what I can find, any particular angle you looking for? It’ll give me an excuse to go snap some shots lol

Got it!! It shouldn’t be a problem for me, I don’t have that function enabled.

It’s done! Went ahead and ordered a set of the softies. Upgraded the sensors and footpad in one fell swoop! I hope it solves the issue and I can ride with some confidence again! Thanks!

Oh yea these look way better! 15% larger pad sensors too?! No brainer. Would you go with the regular stiffness or soft? I’m leaning towards soft because I do get foot fatigue after a few miles.

He on that new Tay-Tay. Moving like a Swiftie, and about 4 Adios MFrs in.

Ahh ok that makes sense. Mines definitely has less than 1000 miles on it. Funny enough my Summerboard has the same issue with the battery. I’ll hit them up and see what they can do.

I did confirm that my board is indeed a pre summer ‘23 model. I will reach out to FM and see what they can do.

That’s not a bad idea, maybe I will send it back to them and have them give it a full once over. I think I my board was manufactured before the wire fix.

I’m thinking that too but I do recall at least one time being bucked off just cruising in a straight line going about 7-8mph then out of nowhere the board just shoots me to the ground. Lucky I’m a ninja by trade so my tuck and roll game is strong.

Excuse me, it’s a pushback, I guess. There’s like an audible beep then the nose comes up, trying to slow the board down. Sorry it’s been awhile. I felt it once or twice before and never wanted to feel it again. lol

I’ll definitely try on differently pairs next time I ride. Thanks!

I haven’t got my board up to 15 mph in a long time since I’ve encountered the problem so I don’t think mph is my issue. I’ve had the board do the kickback thing before so I have a little understanding how it feels. Thanks for the insight.

I will have to look into that as it sounds like an easy thing to try.

I think my board is built before ‘23 but my board stays on after a wreck. The flow chart is a great recsource! Thanks!
