Let's See Some Video!!
alright, i keep hearing poeple atlk about 5-10 minute wheelies. it's not that i doubt thme, i jsut wanna see this.
so EVERYONE! If you can ride long wheelies, record one and post it here!
I'd like to see one of them 4-5 minute wheelies, were the camera man is on another bike, so you really see what it's like, ya know?
but hey, anything is good

Re: Let's See Some Video!!
If I had a video camera, I would record me doing one for 5 min fa sho. I'll even do part of it one handed. :YEAH
Thats hard though. at the end my wrists would probly be pretty soar. I could do it though! I might be able to get you like 60 seconds of footage. My digital camera can record for 60 seconds, and 60 seconds only. Would that satisfy you enough untill someone finds a vid camera?

Re: Let's See Some Video!!
Maybe tommorrow or sometime this week I can get my friend to follow me in his car and tape me. Not the greatest quality, but decent enough. Just as long as I can figure out how to post it, its all good.
How do you post vid?

Re: Let's See Some Video!!
Hello, I didn't know were to post, so is this OK?
I ride a 24" moutain bike, and i just got some rear brake pads, I'm trying to do a manuel, but it seems that i can roll for a second, and then the brakes hit HARD, and slam me down. does this happen to eveeryone?

Re: Let's See Some Video!!
either that or you need to learn brake control. Dont grab a handful of break, but slowely apply break as needed. IF they just lock up though and slam you down after being careful with the break... maybe it is bent or something, dunno.
When the front end starts to go down fast, pedal hard and bring it right back up. if you can.

that's exactly what i am doing, but i've noticed that for circle wheelies, the brakes are handy, and i can get up to BP quicker if ia jam the pedals hard, and catch myself with the brake.

Re: Let's See Some Video!!
you can do a LOOOOT more if you use brake control. I can slow down almost as fast as I want on a wheelie, or speed up as fast as I want. I mean, I can almost race people when im riding a wheelie. Its sorta difficult to switch gears when you have a crappy derailer though...
Any speed is comfortable for me... but the best I think is just a normal riding pace. not too slow, and not too fast.
Im going to try to get vid soon. I havent talked to my friend yet this weekend, been kinda busy.

Re: Let's See Some Video!!
on mtb, sitdown. I can ride sitdowns forever. Seems like I can practice standups all the time, but they are just way harder and I can hardly ride them anywhere.
For me, standups suck.
