I believe people off here can wheelie well and have never flipped one, think it was korn or zimma I heard say that.


Well i am one Wink Never flipped a wheely. Its like everthing. start off slowly and build up your confindence. Practice, practice and then practice some more. People flip when they try to go too far/high too soon......dont run before you can walk and always always cover the back break.

No, if you do fall off the back learning to wheelie it probably means you tried too much too soon or have shit throttle control.

I disagree with that. Maybe on a powerfull sports bike perhaps where the power alone can keep the front wheel off the ground for a certain distance, but on a less powerfull bike you have to get straight to the balance point. No doubt you can learn like that, and it probably is the safest and less costly. I learned to wheely properly by going as slow as possible. The speed was easy.

It's a cool vid because it's always funny to watch people fall off but good on him for trying. Even though it's not brilliant at least he had a crack. (In his helmet!)

its true about the americans.....out of the 250 little/big vids of yankys doing stunts,about 98% of them are wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

only british stunt vid i remember watching is some motards wheelying though london all in leathers. Cool

americans are retarded Thumbs Up


You would REALLY be suprised how many UK people are copying teh yanks and stunting in shorts/tshirt.. just watch the Ace Cafe vid by bendy (in vids section) and you'll soon realise that people here stunt in "inappropriate" clothing... not as much as the USA but that's only because the stunt scene in the US is about 100 times bigger than here... if the stunt scene was as big here as it is in america/france then there'd be just as many uk stunting in tshirts...
