Re: My wheelies are gabage!!! HELP!!!
rock the fiddy it will teach you the fundamentals!!!! its all about baby steps.... i recomend powering up first gear untill you get comfortable then once your used to that then incorporate the clutch..theres no point in rushing all you will end up doing is crashing sooner!! once you can rock at the bp it all down hill from there that is the base of all tricks my

Getting over the fear just takes practice and gettin comfortable you gotta do all that on your own.
My suggestion is that since your in 1st theres no need to be staggered yet. Just do a normal standup on the pegs and every time you clutch it up hit the rear brake right away (even if your not near BP) for the first 20 wheelies or so. This will stick in your head to use the rear brake to slow yourself down instead of chopping the throttle (closing it then gettin back into it). I really dont like how people always insist ppl do power wheelies but hey if it works im not even goin to start a debate about that in here like usually happens.
35 MPH isnt a slow wheelie 10-15 MPH is a slow wheelie. To do those you have your idel set up at about 3-4k and you clutch it pretty hard then catch yourself in balance point with the rear brake (DONT DO THIS YET) since your inexperienced your just goin to seriously mess something up. I have my idel set at 2k and its done me fine with 1st gear standups which i have up to about a mile long now.
The switch to 2nd gear after you learn first is a cake walk. 2nd comes up exeremly smooth compared to first but with 2nd you have way less engine brake to save your *** incase you get to far behind BP.
I also believe that learning wheelies in 1st helps you learn great throttle control since the bike is so "twitchy" in first gear as apposed to 2nd.
And this is stuntlife.com not squidlife.com people need to stop saying "abandon the clutch and do power wheelies"

Re: My wheelies are gabage!!! HELP!!!
wow there is a lot of garbage advice goin around, all it takes is practice, if there is someone around you that is pretty good, learn from them, they are always lovin to show their skills, and have someone kiss their ***... i say keep clutching 1st, just be careful with it, and yes do staggared, for me it helps keep it from wobbling, and i find it easier to steer... yo quicksda rr, come ride with us, we'll teach you.. shoot me a PM

Re: My wheelies are gabage!!! HELP!!!
What Novaman said. The only thing I'd add is that I found it helped to clutch it, stay on the gas at around 1/3 throttle or so, enough so that it's still coming up but not wicked fast, and then use the back brake everytime to bring it down but STAY ON THE GAS. When I did it like this I was able to get a feel for how much the brake would do and stuff. Once I stated letting off the brake knowing that I could catch it with the brake I progressed a lot.

And if you figure clost to a 1 mile long wheelie goin 35-40 MPH thats a pretty damn long time on one wheel (atleast for me since im pretty new to the whole motorcycle deal). And you'll see progression no worries im not FHL and can back up what i speak about
Also those mile long wheelies are using just engine brake haha. I just started actually using the rear brake in place of choppin the throttle the day befor i fuxored my tank and makes me feel sooo much more smooth.

I can't wait to get my bike this week (which I haven't had for 2 months) so I can show you what's up.

(damn that 5 min edit BS)
You know your not goin to be able to find anyone to flim for you, so keep using that ghetto rigged helmet cam of yours. You lack social skills to find anyone to actually be your friend and film you.
I also highly doubt your wheelies are anywhere near 2 miles long off of what ive seen in your past video's you'd be lucky to make it 3/4 of a mile (im usually lucky if i do.) Also i know ive got more tricks learned then your *** so you really need to stop talkin **** about me. Never once have i seen you do anything besides a simple standup wheelie.

I'd like proof that you can hold a 15mph wheelie, all the videos I saw you were being a throttle jockey at 40mph, and you wonder why you looped.
And also, I will have video by the end of the week.

i cant do a 15 MPH wheelie why do you think i ****in looped douche. For one i didnt have brake control down at the time. And second i was doing it staggered when im used to doin things standing normal.And where does me being on an ego trip commin into play?? I really am on no ego trip at all... unless liking to help beginners is considered being on an ego trip then i guess im guilty of that

Re: My wheelies are gabage!!! HELP!!!
I dont have a video camera at all and usually stunt by myself. Squid has the video camera and he brings that out maybe once a month. I go out and stunt daily in the summer. But i guess im posing for all the trees and birds around me at the lot.
Arguing with FHL is like trying to teach a retard math... Lets get this post back on topic
