thanks for all the tips everyone! For some reason i never got a notification that this had been replied to.
I went to clear creek this weekend and did some more wicked stuff, i went with a bunch of better riders and they really helped me. Standing is no easy task, but i practiced as much as i could.
I think my suspension is also kind of messed up, when i switched out the springs i spilled a lot of fluid, i thought it was no big deal, but i think i'm finding that perhaps that is the reason the bike likes to wheelie the second i chop the throttle, there is no damping, i'm going to refill the forks tomorrow i think, and i'll make sure to set the sag.
Of course, i also need to get my technique better, but thanks to you guys and the peeps i ride with, i think i'm on the right track :)
