wheelie story

[salty21]

been practicing my wheelie skills lately(and failing). was browsing youtube for some pointer's and came across this guy, the vid's tell a good story and i really enjoyed watching them, so thought i'd share.

Part 1 was a bit shit but im intrigued now so il carry on watching. Although a lot of his advice is questionable. ie you can completely shut off power 'mid wheelie' if you are at the balance point and continue to keep the wheelie going (i dont wheelie but im fairly sure this is bollox) also this dudes tyre warming skills are exquisite

[salty21]

yeah there were a few noob comment's on the first one and i did actually laugh when he said he needed to get some heat in the tyres, then weaved twice and seemed happy that they were warm then .

he get's better as the vid's go on though

1st Vid was wank so i wont bother watching the others

How are you failing to wheelie an an rr?

[MaybeGuy]

i wouldnt listen to that guy. he talks about balance point, whereas flicking through the videos, not once does he reach it.

just because it's powerful does'nt make it easy to wheelie and the rr3-4 does have a rep of not being playfull in the wheelie department, i can get it up pretty easy clutching in second but aint got the balls to take it to balance point and hold it there yet, im in no rush to either, i would rather take it steady for now and keep the bike rubber side down.

I stopped watched it after he used re-mixed a We Will Rock You. Criminal.

'this video is private'

[johnsmith222]

good videos that have inspired me to give it a shot.

I dunno though. I can't afford to wreck my ZZR but might sell the CG and get an old CBRF or something and spend lots of time practicing.

[Visitor Q]

He is quite painfully bad.

I say that from watch a little bit of the first part, then watching his rebuttal video to everyone saying he sucks.

Which sucked.

Also, don't learn how to dip the clutch at low speed in first

It may seem safer because it's slower... it's really not.

The slower you go, the faster it snarls up. Slow wheelies are alot harder then fast ones. First gear is especially soddish, and only really useful for underpowered bikes. Always clutch in second. It still works, honest.
