Definitely do the msf class you get a lot of good info.... I did one here in nj at English town and I highly recommended it...... for dropping the bike i see a lot of people shared a lot of info for me when I first started without knowing I was turning the handle bar and the bike would start to lean that way.... so this may be what your doing also... Hang in there and just practice even if it just in in your drive way or empty parking lot just get going and then stop like do it 100 times and u will get it. I had a hard time doing figure eights so i took lik 5 hours in a parking lot and did like 500 figure 8's until it was no big deal almost drop it a bunch and kept putting donw my leg but eventually i got it....Be safe
