Stop being such a wanker?
Ride it like you think owning it matters.

ok, what you are saying is...

1. practice basics - im already doing this.

2. practice slow speed stuff - ok, i'll add it to my praking lot practice.

3. center myself and don't hang off the bike - im sorry, i can't follow this advice. i do keep my knees inside now.

4. get pro training - i will attend a track school when i get enough money.

what else did i miss?
3. You need to do for a while, hanging off will come with time. Like I said, you're focusing on to many things at once, and as a result you're sucking at all of them. Though it's fairly obvious you don't care about actually riding well, you just want to look cool :roll:

4. No, I don't think you should be riding on the track, you're going to be a danger to yourself, and everyone else.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

You don't need pro training, you need learner training.

Mods, can we please just have a lock on all threads started by VX when they reach page 5? They all degenerate into the same thing, and these threads are really wreaking havoc on my popcorn budget :jerry:
