Paulandjacquelyn Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 As I work to achieve a "one with body" skill on my mini pro, I am learning that it is better for me to have my feet against the outer part of foot pads, against the wheel fenders. This stance and positive foot pressure on side of foot helps tremendously in taking turns faster. The best I can describe riding the mini-pro is like snow skiing. You have to commit to the turn with your outer foot. Also, I have all my settings on the mini-pro to be most reactive and fast. I find this is best early on as it will challenge your body and mind to master the mini and your body to react quicker. I'm finding the most difficult "brain balance" challenge is when riding on slope along the slop then turning up or down the slope. Body has to shift correctly to not bump control bar wrong How do you ride? any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozpeter Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I've just started using minimum steering sensitivity, This make the MiniPro feel heavier and more stable, and I can give the steering bar a good shove without worrying about the result. Next I shall try some "suspension" variations. I think every user will probably have a completely different setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my MiniPro today. Took it out for about 3 miles and did OK. Changed the balance assist from 3.2 to 5 and it seemed to make balance a little easier. I just want to take my time and get comfortable without a lot of crashes. Any setting insights you have are welcome and appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride with feet against the wheel fenders also, I feel like I have the most control. going over bumps -> knees slightly bent going on slanted roads where one tire is higher than the other -> separate knees more so I don't touch the control stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
