Also you aren't like revving to the RPM you want and then dropping your clutch are you? It should be done at the same time in one swift motion.

By the looks of the last one you still got another 6" to a 1' to get to a good BP.
I'm at about the same point you are, Got the ***** to lift it up but once it comes up they shrivel lol.
A little bit higher and stay on the throttle smooth and you should be able to ride it out a bit longer then you can just perfect it from there.

I try mine a little bit faster just to keep the momentum forward in case it goes to one side, Seems like it would be easier to recover with a bit of speed compared to going slower.

Anyways, You seem to be getting it better and better which is a good thing, So keep it up and stay safe.

Just keep going at your own pace and you will hit soon enough, I have hit BP once and the bike went weightless and that scared me, Thought I was going to go over but I havent been able to hold it there.
Patience and confidence (not cockyness) is the key.
Good luck kep me posted.

once u get it up dont let out, u have so much more to go to bp.... dont wick the throttle, smooth inputs after ur up and changing ur body position helps a great deal too!! theres no video thats gonna teach u, u have to start slow and build up, either u got it or u dont! but keep practicing
