Re: slow wheelies
True that! I cant count how many times i've gone ahead and searched for something, then 4 hours later my eyes are glazed over and i know all the new SL drama but didn't learn one thing about what i was searching for.

Re: slow wheelies
I can't believe I just read 6 pages of adults arguing with a 15 yr old kid. Are you guys suffering from low self-esteem or what? Stunting streetbikes is hard! Let that settle into the depths of your being so you don't have to argue for 6 pages just so a child thinks you're cool and that your sport is challenging. Don't worry what the kid thinks. Sportbikes in a wheelie are top heavy and take skill to master. Don't worry what the kid thinks. You guys are cool in my book.

Re: slow wheelies
Who cares what the kid thinks if he doesn't want to listen. My friend races supermoto and can wheelie those just fine but is too scared to get his R6 off the ground. The bikes are totally different.

Re: slow wheelies
i mean really, do whatever you gotta do in a situation like that. but for the average person learning stuntriding you gotta learn footbrake first
