What method do you use to clutch it up?

Ive always been more comfortable rolling on the throttle then just slipping the clutch real quick. But im reading on here more and more that most people pull in the clutch, rev it up then dump the clutch. That method just seems "random" to me. I always just listened to my bike to tell when to slip the clutch in. Do most of you do the "dump" method?

P.S For. twelves I noticed that from a standstill you obviously have to dump it, but Im talking "regular" wheelies.

Dump, slip. Go in the "Complete guide for learning basic wheelies the right way" thread and they use the term dump. Settle down with the "head bang" smiley chief....

And if you read my post, I said I can, well could, wheelie, but I liked using the method I talked about, step your reading comprehension game up...

if you "could wheelie" then why the **** are you on the internet asking how??? if you actualy could then you would know that nothing is going to replace the seat time it takes to learn this ****. so go use your "dump" method, loop your ****ing bike, and get up and do it all over again because thats how we all learned

Are you a moron? Go read the thread I just told you about. Here, Ill give you link since it doesnt seem as you are capable of finding it. https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/443-stunting-help-advice/72156-complete-guide-learning-basic.html

Now go tell the guy that got praised for "excellent advice" for 12 pages hes dumb for saying "dump" the clutch. Ive seen numerous posters use that terminology as well.

If you really need to know, I totalled my bike 2 years ago in a wheelie. As Ive stated already, I preferred the roll on method and just flick in the clutch, not dump it. So now Im trying to get back into it and was wondering what the majority of stunters here used, so settle down Tonto.

Right, like I said, when I was trying to learn 12's, it was pretty much pull in clutch, rev, "dump". When Im already going say 30-40mph, I always just accelerated a little and flicked in the clutch and it hopped right up. But people on here say they let off the gas completly, pull in the clutch, rev to whatever RPM and then just dump it, which Ive never been comfortable with at higher speeds.
