Anyone done this course?

https://www.thewheelieschool.co.uk/index.htm

I'm doing it as part of my birthday present in a few weeks and wanted to know what it's like. Also would it be worth while to get the photographer?

Paul is a top bloke, never met him but have spoken to him online about various things, he's pretty good at what he does, entered the uk stunt champs, qualified and finished 17th!! that's THE WORLD.. some of the top riders in there like Joni Tammela and Tony D etc etc so he's pretty good...

Heard his instruction is also top notch, Veggie Dave from IQ18 films also works for him, and veggie is vvvv good at stunting so you'd be in good hands for a wheely instructor..!!

All in all have fun etc etc.... photographer might be a good idea if you want some good pics Smile

I would love to give one of these wheelie schools a try but I would rather spend my money on a trackday.
Perhaps one day I will get round to it.

I think in realty you already know how to wheelie but making that right hand open the throttle that quick is harder than it seems for beginers Wink

the easiest way to crash a wheelie is being too on and off with the throttle and trying to ride one out in 1st till she hits the limitter and smashes you nuts on the tank possibly causing a wipe out too I thought long and hard before I got on and started popping mono's but now it's easy if you just go slow and don't get too anxious in the early weeks a good indicator is to sit up nice and relaxed pop the front up and wait till you see the wind screen starting to block the vision of the road now just feather the throttle nice and gently to maintain the height and keep your eyes on the road in front while remaining relaxed sounds easy hey! well it's not as easy as it sounds but I found it a good starting point good luck with your wheelie good day! Very Happy

After a days training at wheelie school you still would be far from competent, and most flipping incidents happen when you get over cocky. So your still going to be risking your bike when you give it a go afterwards.

<<<< I can get the front up but not keep it at the balance point. Hopefully i can learn how to do that. Also if i drop it it's not my problem at the school which is cool. Also it's a Bandit 12 and i'm currently restricted to 33BHP. Twisted Evil
