Actually its pretty easy !!
If you want a clip let me know as I'll film a couple of boys doing it.
The trick is to make sure the wheelie has good height before attempting the downshift, otherwise it will just come down.
Cheers

what would be pimp is a nice long 800 foot coaster, then when he's slowing down to downshift back down to first and start rocking slow 12's off of it.

that would probably be the only reason for that, because you'll come into a fast coaster at 3rd or 4th (maybe higher, i don't know coaster guys).

This thread wasnt about "Why would you want to?" It was about can it be done?

did anyone completely miss the reason i gave for why someone would want to do it?

again i said you could rock a long *** coaster in which you would be in a high gear, and as you slow down almost to a stop at the end of a coaster if you downshift down to first you could just let the clutch out and start rocking slow stuff (like a circle at hte end of a coaster)
