I finally got my bike stunt ready and I am just starting to practice. Right now I am practicing clutching wheelie's. Now to an experienced stunter which would you say is best to learn first, stand ups or sitting wheelie's?

stand up! staggered! or foot on seat or bar!

i learned how to twelve and scrape sitting down ,but i think standing is easier to do now that i know how to do both

Staggered Standups. It is way better to learn. One foot on the front peg covering the rear brake and one foot on the passenger peg. I learned staggered standups and sitdowns were cake. Some of my friends learned sitdowns and they have trouble with standups. There alittle harder to learn but you have more controll, and they look 9546465times cooler. Defenatly a better way to learn.

Staggered. Now go practice

i think sit downs look cooler

back in the day I started doing sitdown whoolies first and then when I could roll those pretty far I started movin around the bike. decide what feels more comfortable and handle it.

staggereds are way more comfortable to me, but thats probly cuz thats the way i learned and perfected my highway wheelies. it seems that when standing up you control the bike instead of the bike controlling you. you are more on the bike than in the bike and can see over the freakin windscreen.

damn that is sick pic !!!!

for me stand up's are easier...

I learned sitting down first, then went to standups. Stand ups felt funny after riding sitdowns for so long so it took me a while to get used to it. Now after doing standups, they are way easier. Actually standing on both rear pegs is the easiest i think since you are on the very back. Just do what feels comfortable. I know after doing standups and ss and all that jazz, sitdowns feel funny now since i rarely do them anymore.

i started out with sitdowns but learned standups shortly after and standups are so much easier

Thanks for the post all. I think it's pretty much unanimous that stand up's are the way to go.

staggered stand ups are the way to go!! sitdowns do look better though imo. i still cant do them

mike1984

there's two ways to look at it... if you learn doing standups it may still take you a while to learn sitdowns.... but if you learn doing sitdowns, standups are cake.... thats how i learned anyway. everyone has good points... imho though standups will teach you good manuverability and balance but sitdowns will teach you better throttle control

mike1984

my point exactly

anabolicrick

High Chair circles are best to learn first............that way you could say you learned high chair circles first.

sitdowns are easier to mess up when balancing them. small movements make the bike move a lot on sitdowns. you can control and stabilize the bike easier with standups.

Street Warrior

To steal someone elses analogy... think of balancing a pool stick, it's easier to balance with the heavy side up. Standups are easier to balance than sitdowns because you're center of gravity is higher.

im learning wheelies all together...and to me staggered standups just feel extremely weird for me...front end comes up faster...scares the **** outta me....then again im a newbie and i guess i'm gonna get flamed and called a ***** for saying that...but oh well..im learning and ill take the hits

anabolicrick

Are you practicing on the 04 r6? Stock gearing?
