Video: How to Wheelie With Martha Gill & Bex Baraona

 Glad she mentioned using the hips to help with steering. I've seen a lot of these videos and everyone mentions steering with your knees, but I find using the hips is super helpful.

 looks like my problem is that my rear brake has been on the wrong side of my bars all these years

 @dtax: you drive on the wrong side of the road as well

 @Endurahbrah: A trick I use that definitely engages the hips (during side to side balance) is to roll your foot on your pedal. If riding a wheelie and you start leaning to the left, roll your right foot outward. Do the opposite if you start leaning to the right. I find that you can gain a lot of control with your feet.

 @dtax: Never, I mean never borrow one of my bikes (as I am setup properly) - shops like to call it "Moto Style".

 Thank you! It wasn’t all just one shot though haha ????

 @gowaan-gals:

Of course it wasn't done in one take. Consider that there are well over a thousand hits for "how to wheelie". If you ignore YouTube's ranking and go watch 100 of them randomly you'll find that, as a rule, people are horrible at making these videos. It's hard to realize when you are exceptional at something because often being exceptional comes naturally. Simon Lawton teaches bike skills full time at Duthie Hill Park, people fly from around the world to come to his classes. Watch one of his videos, it looks a lot like yours:

The combination of bike skills and communication talent is a career available to very very few. Just saying.

 May I suggest you to practice falling. It's not even a science, just do it at low speeds, let the bike pass the balance point, put your feet down and you'll quickly get confident to take your time feathering the brake later.

 Practice falling back is key and I guess that is the reason why it is so difficult to learn to wheelie past some age: you don't want to harm yourself and the flexibility required to let the bike pass under you is not minor. After a few efforts, I just want to throw myself on the sidewalk and take a nap.

 Drag the rear brake a bit before you lift the front. It will take a bit more effort, but you will already be in the modulation sweet spot. Also for falling, just purposely loop out over and over and land on your feet. Once you realize its safe to loop, you wont be so afraid of the balance point.

 @Notmeatall: @Notmeatall: Once you have your falling practice down, you just need to work on accidentally missing the ground. At that point, you'll be flying and won't need wheelies.

 @Poulsbojohnny: Woah! I'm doing it wrong all this time! Teach me your way, master!

 Same here, I can ride most anything in Moab on a uni, but my wheelies suck. Practice more

 I carnt.
