I have wanted to wheelie my whole life. I took the wheelie challenge as a way to push myself further and see if I could get past the frustration with it. Ryan has such a supportive and comprehensive way of teaching, that it was easy to understand. I got a couple of my friends into the challenge to keep me honest, and practiced like crazy, experimenting with all the elements of balance, fear, and technique. Ryan guided me through each day and it was incredibly satisfying to go from front wheel off the ground to controlled wheelies for almost 30 pedal strokes. Anywhere I go now, I'm wheeling Thx Ryan.” -

I could never wheelie, was always afraid of trying and hurting myself, but the course breaks down all the steps and introduces them at a steady comfortable rate. Eventually, the front wheel will lift, you will feel the float, and you will be hooked on the feeling. With this course and some dedication, chasing that elusive float became easier each and every day, and as an added bonus, Ryan will get you out on your bike every day, and who doesn't love that!” -

1. Pedal and pull up/back on bars, lean back
2. If at any point you get scared, your back brake will save you, always.
3. Repeat until you find your balance point.

Step 1: Dont clip in to wheelie
CONGRATULATIONS on your first wheelie without flipping over the back because you forgot to use you rear brake!
I'll give you a +1 if you've got any magic tips for gettin' fakie manuals done on the front wheel.
And above all. you can bring a smile on face of yours and others when you do it, I did it once by a bus stop full of school kids and it was totaly the biggest moment of my MTB career
Actually that is the exact use for a wheelie. On a trail you do it to quickly overcome something and then just carry on, and/or pull another 4 strokes when its needed again. That said, I still want to do >10 strokes, so that I can too have that moment :3
I also practice wheelies on my way to work, not only it makes it more fun to get to work, it's also a good time to do it
This is something you can do with your kids too. I just did the Day 3 practice for the Wheelie Challenge today while riding to the local park with my 8yr old daughter. She played with a buddy on the playground, I did my drills on the grass, and she came out & joined me for some "bike tag" and cruising around on the flowy dirt footpaths. My girls have no interest in getting knocked around on our rocky, tech local trails, but they're stoked when we get out and make it more like play than a "sport" or hobby. My main goal is to keep it playful and fun.
I've been practicing wheelies on my own while riding with the kids, in part to help diffuse their frustration with learning to use hand brakes, derailleurs, climb steep hills, etc. and amuse them with my own trials-&-errors. Under my own tutelage, I have unfortunately hit a plateau: I haven't been able to consistently get in more than 10 pedal strokes.
It's early days for me with this course, but three days in I feel Ryan has taught me to get a straighter, cleaner "pop" to start the wheelie, and I'm consistently going longer as a result.
This is PB, I'm sure that some of those scoffing above actually do possess the skills to wheelie wherever they like for as long as they want. I get that, I'm usually a pretty smug fast-learner myself. In this case, I'm stoked to get help up off the plateau of mediocrity where I've been stuck, and compared to what I've invested in any kind of professional instruction for *anything* else in life, $30 is chump change.
@ 19mins for anyone unfortunate enough to have never seen Evolve
Hope this project works out for Ryan and we gotta see more skills covered with that course format.
You motivated me to start learning wheelies better and then manuals!
Keep ridding!
Thing is at the moment I don't even have $30 for bike parts, almost all the money I get goes for feeding myself at college and transportation.
That financial heaven seems just too good.
And waki I agree $30 is not that much, but at the same time is 2 weeks of going to college, yet would like to buy it.
Also, mental coaching and physical would be awesome to have, and not only would help on bike ridding but most situations of life, I can see why you spend on it, as I would do it too.

Some of us don't have the luxury of a mis-spent youth!
7 lessons in over a 2 week period. Frustrating first few lessons because I felt like I should be mastering each of those lessons before I went to the next. Then I realized what seemed to me was that lessons build on prior skills experienced, not necessarily mastered (DUH!!!) and got going along. I've experienced some good floats without panic, gonna get this after all. Damn life and rain been getting in the way and not doing my lessons every day, but keep on till I do. So excited for each day when I get to watch a new vid and go out and reinforce the stuff I have taken in with the new.
Totally recommended, Thanks Ryan.
