more throttle before letting the clutch out

edit-a lot more

IRISH MIKE

Here is my advice.

#1.Dont practice at night. I belive that seeing your enviroment will help you get a better feel of where you are.

#2.If you are going for a b/p wheelie, start off clutching in 2nd gear.

trickshow

why 2nd gear its easier to bring up in first

Beto

stay in first. Try to come to a complete stop, more gas on the clutch up.....try to slow it down too, or get a bigger spot.

I still suck and am learning but I'll tell you what helped me. Someone told me this and its the only thing that finally started helping me. I kept one foot on the ground and one foot covering the brake(even though I wasnt using it at first like I should have been) and started popping it up right to the bar. Didnt try to ride em out - was just trying to come up to the bar to realize just how high it was. Then after coming back to the bar the first few times you lose that fear of looping coz you know where it is. Also, with learning with one foot on the ground if you come to the bar too quick your natural instinct will be to put your foot on the ground and you'll be standing - just try to pull the clutch in and hold onto the bike rather then dropping it. After you get that down and while you're getting that down starting tapping your brake prior to getting to the bar which is the point I'm at right now. In my case, it all started to fall into place once I realized just how far back that bar really was. Before coming back to the bar I was doing the same **** you're doing - clutching it up and chasing it. I wasted all spring and summer doing that and really have made the most progress in the past month. Sorry for rambling on. And like I said - I suck and am still learning but just letting you know what helped me stop chasing my wheelies. Good luck homie.

trickshow.... keep pluggin away imo , it's about alot of launches...:YEAH

I used and still use foot down techniques (mixed in with normal foot on peg techniques ) even while progressing.... my first one handers and NTH's and no handers were all with foot down...ya' know ?

but doing the 0-1 mph launches ...and catchin' it with the rear brake and trying to go slow... (doing a shitload of them ...thousands ) that's where the real "slow wheelies" are learned IMO good luck

Thats the only thing that helped me. I'm pissed I wasted all summer chasing wheelies and now that its getting cold I'm starting to make progress. I'll be riding all winter though anyway so it doesnt really matter. Good luck Trickshow. If you're passionate about this **** you'll get to where you need to be. Its all practice.

trickshow

i am passionate about learning this **** ....im actually upsessed . im gona ride all threwout winter as well. my goal is to find my balancing point before winter ends and start learning circles by summer comes. HOPEFULLY!

You'll have another video up as long as you dont kill yourself with that method of pulling wheelies

N/A

And what's your method all-star?

Matt H

My method is probably about the same as yours. What I don't do is slightly pop the front up and then run the bike to redline...

If you can come up with the money for a honda xr/crf 50 it will help alot. It will give you the feel of ballence point and help you get your rear brake controll down. I learned rear brake on a 50. My 50 was one of the best things I've bought. Definatly worth every penny.

-matt g-

if your trying to learn BP DON'T chase the wheelie.. just pop the clutch and try to bring it up to or around BP...

this is me when i was learning.. i think its the best way to learn with the least amount of damage..

if you keep chasing your going to hurt yourself!!!!

trickshow

ya i kno its bad chasing but it feels like im at balancing point . i dont know how far i can go back and im trying NOT to flip my bike. im going stuntin right in a couple of minutes. ill post a vid when i get back from the movies tonight going to see american gangster.

nyRocketkid

if your trying to get an idea of how high you are and how high you can go, keep taking pics and videos. When your forks are perelell to the ground is bp & where you should be at to ride a wheelie. If you can watch a video of yourself it will give you a good idea of how high you are & how much higher you have to be to be at that point.
