Hi, my name is Jared Cummings. I'm here with Expert Village. We're talking about how we
wheelie. All right, now we're going to be talking about a really, really, really important
issue, and that is throttle control. If you want to come on over here and take a look
over here. When we're doing our wheelies, if we start going like this--we get up on
our wheelie, start going like this, where you will see them actually start to back and
forth like this. You'll see them go up and down and up and down. And you'll see them
really, really squirrely. We tend to nickname those guys the squirrelies, so, we don't want
to see that today. But, we're going to go ahead and just work on that throttle control,
and that's just getting it up, and if we start chopping it, that's what's going to bring
us up and down and up and down and up and down, and whenever we want to hit that balance
point, we'll either: (a), drop it back down because we ran out of RPMs, or (b), which
is worst case scenario, flip it on top of ourselves and not hit twelve when we want
to, but we might crash. So when we're hitting that balance point, we're just going to ease
off that throttle a little bit, and you'll see minor, minor adjustments, like this. Just
minor, minor adjustments back and forth, and that'll control our up and down in our wheelie.
All right, so we're going to ease on that throttle. Just slight, slight adjustments.
Adjusting the hand, move just like this. That's for throttle control. You'll see that in more
controlled wheelies, you'll see this in the the squirrely wheelies, back and forth and
back and forth, and that's what we don't want to see today.
