New Trick
i been workin on this one
i call it the Ghost Wheelie
1. Idle it up 400ex or whatever
2. Pick it up and ride a no handed wheelie
3. Find the balance point
4. hop off the back
5. IF the bike is balanced it will roll a wheelie w/out the bar scrapin
6. Let it roll by itself for about 10 or 15 feet or thats the most I could
7. Then run it down and jump on still in a wheelie and ride off.
First time I did this it was on accident, but after hours of practicin I could do it some what consistantly.
Let me know what you think.

lol, I don't think its as easy as it sounds. I can't even balance a no handed wheelie that good. Can anyone balance a no handed wheelie for a long time? But even then it would be super hard to jump off the quad w/ no hands leaving the quad at the balance point so it still balances.

I can Coast a 2nd gear no hander for maybe 35 feet - but im past balance point all over the brake.
For one, when you jump off the quads either gonna flip backwards onto the bar from having no brake, or rocking it from jumping off. Or its gonna come right down.
I can't see even w/ the idle up a quad staying up w/ out being on it. Post up a video bro!

Okay
Like I said I got kind of consistantly, but when you jump off you don't really JUMP youkind of slip your left foot off the grab bar hit the ground and let the fourwheeler roll out from underneathe you.
Given it is not that easy, I must have tried 50 times and actually did it right 8 times, its frustrating but I just kept on practicing.
As for the video, you never get your good stuff on tape, but my friend has a digital camera so next time we are out I'll video it and maybe I will find someoone to download it to a post because I don't know how to do it.

So when you are doing these no handed wheelies for 100 to 150 ft what gear are you doing this in? I was doing them in first this weekend with the idle set to normal and was getting them a little bit but I was no where even close to no 100 ft.
