The problem was not too much gas, it was too little. If he had given it gas like he meant it there would have been wheel spin and he would have been just fine.......... :laughing: Learning to balance braking is one very important part of riding. If you cannot balance breaking its going to cause you a problem. Learning to utilize both brakes will allow you tighter smoother turns, shorter stopping distances by a LOT, and much more stability.
