i said i wasn't gonna do it but i bought a 04crf50 today. about 10 guys are going to f off tom on them so i thought i join in the fun. i went to my buddies warehouse and was tryin to learn wheelies for a couple of hours(scary warehouse + halloween= :GHOST)
anyhow i have alot of respect for everyone tearin it up on those little ****ers. man my wheelies were gaaarbage. i looped her out twice good too. i have a set of bigger bars on it and that's it. any tips.........oh yeah man that seat is hard on your *** after awhile too.:

 

try them with your feet down untill you a comfortable riding them then move to the pegs

practice thats my .02

 

never mind the feet down wheelies, just practice.... it takes a few weeks. there are many threads floating around with info for newbie 50 stunters...... I have had my 50 for 2 months now, and practice about an hour a day, and am just now getting my wheelies wired. ( longest approx 700 yards) . kEEP YOUR FEET ON THE PEGS, AND YOUR BRAKE COVERED..... bLOX COME IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.

 

fast 50 Fat foam,IMO its the best out there. all other companys use same foam except fast 50 theirs is VERY dense and holds its form, I have tried others IMO Fast 50's are best.

 

couldnt have said it better. practice every damn day and **** that feet down bullshit. dont be a *****. ride that rig.

 

Yea, like everyone else said, I have had my fiddy for about 3 weeks and I have been riding every day. I can already do wheelies as long as I please and I can do circles really good. I can also 12 o' clock on the thing. Just remember to keep your feet from the ground! Learn how to use the brake to balance!

 

I got the red barron tall seat foam its nice and stiff and holds form well, the others i have tried were too soft

 

all u gotta do is learn how to use the brake ive had my 50 for a couple months and i can ride them as far as i want to

 

Practice make perfect... I've had mine for a 3 weeks, I go out for at least an hour each day and now I can rip wheelies the length of football fields and soon to be longer as time/practice goes on:happyguy

Good luck!

 

Free, I c your busting out long ones now. Looks good!

 

so hung up on thinking that the brake is the key?

I learned to wheelie these things

and never once relied on the brake to help me

now for my 1st gear 12 slow attempts I use it, but for the 1st gear and 2nd gear it's all about throttle control baby

 

throttle control wont keep ypu from looping... and besides if you are just learning, you don't yet have throttle control..... I dont know anyone who wheelies a 50 that didn't loop it at least a few times while learning.

 

looping sucks

 

I rarely use the brake I would wrather fall on my *** ..lol ...

~~~WAIR PANTS WHILE STUNTING!!~~~

if not the tire will rape your leg ...

 

but I haven't looped but one wheelie on my fiddy and that was cuz I tried to be a smart *** and shift from 2nd to 3rd and she shot out from under me :-)

but I never used the brake to help my woolies, and I haven't looped other than that for my basic woolies.

 

I've never looped a wheelie because of the brake. If ya have good brake control, u won't loop! THE BRAKE IS THE KEY................
I can ride a wheelie until my arms get to tired to hold on, because I learned to use my brake and a steady throttle.

 

LMAO.....you have to use the rear break....I dont care if you are the best in the world on your 50...you are gonna use it for wheelies....if you dont have the best of streets and if you do 2nd or 3rd fast wheelies and come off a huge bump/crack ect it will loop U 4 sho if your not breakin a lil.

 

I hear ya r6! If I didn't use the brake, how would I do no throttle hand wheelies? Lets c someone do a no hander or a no throttle hand wheelie without the brake, IMPOSSIBLE.....

 

I meant standup's and sit downs

I DO NOT USE THE BRAKE,

ask the ones I ride with, I ride in a parking lot that has lil hills and divots and I ride on the main streets through intersections

NO BRAKE INVOLVED.

 

I don't use the break either when I'm standing on the seat.
