While I certainly appreciate these videos and the effort people put into making them (thanks Duncan). What I really need is a “How NOT to wheelie” video to show me all the things people do wrong and how to correct them.
the only answer is "not practice long enough". I thought I would never learn, but what finally made it click wasn't youtube video #20, it was spending 20 hours in a damn parking lot failing over and over
@olslash: yeaaah same here, i used to go to university on a ss, then i built my mtb and started doing wheelies all the time from my house to uni, now i can do them a lot better. It's just practice.
I learned wheelies and manuals by riding to work and trying to increase the number of sidewalk squares I could cover while doing each. Do it the whole way to work. After a week, you can do it almost as long as you want...
Same here, I've learnt to wheelie properly over the last few years and an incline really helps as does getting over feeling silly about learning to wheelie at the age of 40 ????
try harder
Nice to see the mountain bike this time, makes us feel loved. Thanks Duncan - Big Hug.
