Re: Power Wheelies!?!?
sometihng I've noticed......
EVERYONE has been saying that sometime you'll clutch it in 1st with the same power you use in 2nd, and loop.
EVERYONE has been saying that you'll loop a powerwheelie because you can't control it....
Personally, I don't think either is more dangerous, I think it's all in the rider. If you learn to clutch it up, and get to cormfortable, you could clutch it to hard and loop.
If you learn to power it up, and get comfortable, you'll loop.
Highway stand-ups=power
slow ****, 1st=clutch
that is what the guys i've been talkin to say.....they might be squids though
.....but i don't have a bike.......so this post don't matter...

Re: Power Wheelies!?!?
i normally stunt alone because noone else stunts around here and Squidmark doesnt ride near as often as i do. I have a cell phone, hopefully that doesnt break durin the crash and im good hah.
Power wheelies should not be done by someone who is just learning to wheelie, in his situation he'd be better off clutching and taking your time.
All i do wheelies in is 1st (occationally second for clutch reasons) i can pull up a 1st gear standup from speeds of 1 mph - 30 MPH usually i pull them up at about 15-25 MPH though. 1st is twitchy but you'll quickly learn and you have engine break to back you up if you cant use the rear break (still learning).
Just stand up lock your arms slowly roll onto the throttle pull in the clutch give it alittle more roll on the throttle slip the clutch out and from there on its all throttle control bringing the bike where it needs to be or letting off and hittin that break. How much throttle you give it after the point you pull in the clutch is goin to affect how high the wheelie pops up to (THIS IS WHERE YOU TAKE YOUR TIME LEARNING). You seem as if your in to big of a hurry to learn wheelies because your falling back on what you already know how to do. Screw that learn the right way and you'll thank us all later TRUST US.
Oh also learning to clutch up a wheelie only using my left index finger helped me alot. Two fingers seemed to impare the speed i could slip the clutch at. And you have a better grip with 4 fingers around the bars. Im assuming that when it jerks (my bike doesnt jerk when i slip the clutch it comes up farily smooth) you may be loosing your grip on the bars and this is what makes you feel uncomfortable?

Re: Power Wheelies!?!?
I looped two power wheelies but never looped clutching it. Clutching works for me because I'm new to the game. I would recommend clutching to anybody who's new to stunting. Wish I would've learned to clutch the first time I started stunting.

Re: Power Wheelies!?!?
i learned wheelies in this order:
1st gear sit down power
2nd gear sit down power
2nd gear sit down clutch
2nd gear stand up power
1st gear stand up power
power is fine if you know what you're doing. don't say it's "uncontrollable", cause i feel very much in control. you just have to know how to manipulate the throttle.
