Hi brudders,
BBDC, Class 2B, Prac 3.01. Any advice on clearing? i kept going down e ramp.
Any impt points or technique that must hard-code into the head?

are you talking about the plank? If you are, go fast at the start. Important thing is to not fall off. Once you get the hang of it, then go slower and slower. Practice makes perfect.

Here's what helped me:

- Make sure you're seated as close to the tank as possible. Hug it with your body. This really helped me a lot.

- Make sure your knees grip the tank too. Squeeze.

- Never look down. Look straight ahead, beyond the end of the plank.

- When you first mount the plank, you may be a bit wobbly. This is normal. Keep looking forward and if you feel like you're falling, open the throttle a little bit.

- Don't turn the handle-bars.

- Don't look down to see what's happening and how to correct it. You won;t be able to.

Must steer the handlebar left and right abit to keep yourself on the plank just look straight control your rear brake and take a deep breath before u start.

Bro CivicDash, you're right!
i passed my 3.01!! Yeah! Finally.....

so these few checklists, is a must! and it works.
my main mistake is, i am not relaxed enuf while crossing both e plank and cones. shoulders and elbow too stuff, as a result, alwis get in trouble. despite me passing yesterday, i still need more practice ah. sigh

next stage, 3.02! like playing game lydat hor. hehe

Just passed this stage today and realised that the biggest tip I gotten was to brake throughout the plank lightly and at the same time control the throttle. The brakes really help to give a smoother acceleration. without braking, the throttle will give you sudden jerks when you open or close it. Good luck to people who reads this next time.

Class 2B u feel difficult. if u go highway, u need to squeeze like hell. Class 2 is the bumpy course, e plank. soft of difficult.

anyway, using foot brakes during plank does help. what i was taught was to grip the tank, step on both clutch and foot brakes, play with a lot of power but control with clutch.
