"This is Sean from Expert Village. In this clip we're going to talk about when you get on top of the ramp and you are on the front peg, how to kind of balance as you are scooting around the deck of the ramp. What I said I like to have my foot behind me that way I can help balance my body weight and the back of the bike while I move forward. You also want to kind of feather the brake a little bit, feathering the brake means you grab it just slightly you don't tug on it cause that will bring you to a immediate stop. If you start to lean too far backward, you just tap it a little bit and you start to kind of go back down forward. If you start getting too close down forward, then lean your back leg further, that will bring you back up into the wheelie. If you get those two things and combination at the right point, you'll be able to slide across the whole ramp. "
