I took off all the stickers that came on my bike, took off the gyro and the brakes and cleaned everything. I can hop a lot higher. I love riding brake less everyone was right its much smoother. And i have my foot for emergency stops. still cant figure out what that clicking was though. I'm gonna go ride in town some more. And i have a question about fakies. When you guys do them do you pedal backwards faster than you need to or just as fast as they go back if that makes sense.

I always backpedal as fast as they are going. If it gets going too fast, I just slow my rotation.

It's easier to learn pedaling faster, then you learn to control the speed

You just have to try to stay centered over the bike. Keep practicing. I still have to get my fakies bck.
