12 O'clock???
Someone please correct me if im wrong, but I was alway's under the impression that a 12 o'clock wheelie isn't a scrape?
Riding bast Bp in a wheelie and holding that sh*t is a 12 in my book. Not some squid slamming his minty new 12 bar into the pavement then proceding to rocket the front wheel back to earth??? Would some O.G.'s please shed some light on the subject.....

Re: 12 O'clock???
I was thinking that when watching those Level X vids, kyle kept saying about the bike being at 12 and so on.. but the tail was miles away from the floor! if thats right then I've 12'ed it easily , look at my avatar... but I haven't scraped the bar yet so wonder if 12 and scrape are the same thing cos I always thought a 12 was when you scrape

12 don't matter if you scrape or not. I always thought if your front and rear axils are vertically in-line then you are at 12 (one axil directly above the other). Like if you were to run into a wall both tires should hit evenly and at the same time.

Ok Say Your In A Wheelie Going Supper Slow And Stop It And Hold It. The Balance Point. Feel That.. Thats 12 Oclock. 12 Is Just A Better Way Of Saying Balance Wheelie.. Cuz That Sounds Like Something You Do In Gymnastics or Something.. 12er . Not Axels Strait Up And Down.. Thats Crazy. Thats A Scraper. Or People Parking There Bikes For Photos = Gay
