That vid clip shows your tire about 1/2 foot off the ground at best...
Keep practicing and filming yourself..its the best way to learn...Get comfortable bunny hopping the front wheel up and down the street and continue to move on from there..
After about 1000 wheelies then you can start to work on BP and other things..
Oh and it looks like you got on shorts in that clip.....

Re: How high?
Right at the end of that clip it looks like your front end lifted up.
Just keep practicing.
Clutch them up. you'll get hang of it in a couple days.
I was homeschooled too but there should be plenty of riders in colorado to film you.

BP???????? You shouldn't even speak that word for now. Your wheelie looks like you tried it for first time ever in your life. 1/2 foot, 1/2 second. You should realy listen to people and stop posting - go ride.

Good luck

Re: How high? WOW!! I'm very surprised at this people on this board. I've read some posts where FHL tells people how to really get hurt. Then thinks it's a good joke... I think it's cool that no matter how much people try to get other people hurt with his/hers stupidity, the people on Stuntlife still helps out.
FHL, you should really take this into consideration and stop trying to give stupid advice if you your self don't know anything.
As far as your video goes, it looks like your bike goes down right before the front tire exits the clip. I my self is no expert, but gl too you.
