My question is, in the video you can hear the bike revving for another couple seconds and then me finally letting off the throttle. When I was actually doing it, it felt like I had it up to 9 o clock and then hit the balance point at which point I closed the throttle.
Is it possible that it just seemed really high and it was only as high as the picture, or do you think as I had the throttle pinned it probably did get up to the balance point...
this pic makes you look like your in the air.
good luck with those wheelies.

Re: How high?
i have to agree, i used to hate standups on dirtbikes, cuz it was so twitchy, but then started doing them on streetbikes, after being use to sitdowns, i felt so much more in control standing up, just smoother and you can use your body more

Re: How high?
the one thing i would strongly suggest after reading someones post about being on the back pegs, weather your standing or sitting-- cover the rear brake at all times while learning. and even get used to using it like its 2nd nature cause that WILL save you and your bike- your gonna have to get that front end in the air before that comes into play, good luck and take your time

Re: How high?
Ok, I got it up pretty high tonight.
I don't know for sure but when it came up I crossed the wheel and rode it out for a while, and had enough time to turn it straight before I landed.

Re: How high?
What's the best way of clutching it without being jerky and getting an "oh ****" feeling?
I was going half throttle and slipping, but it seems like when I rev it and dump it it's less jarring and more predictable..

Re: How high?
This is a quote that I posted after this guy was giving Wheelie help to other people on SL. U know whats funny as hell is I was fukin right didnt even have to know U and I knew U were full of shiat. So go practice thats how everyone learns. All Your posts on this thread were erased by a moderator so no more posts of U trying to help people do **** U cant even do.
"It all about finding the right rpm and knowing how to clutch it and bounce at the same time. I dont bounce mine I just stand up clutch and pull at the same time looks a little cleaner to me. Dont stand on both rear pegs when learning wheelies with stock gearing U dont have a whole lot of engine brake to bring U back down if U go to far. " unless U have a fine *** girl to dig asphalt out of U *** and take care of U for a month". Cover rear brake make it a habit it will save U ***. FHL is a dipshit and gona get someone hurt don't listen to him. I bet he cant even ride a wheelie just someone else talkin **** like they know what there doin. Redline an R1 or a 750 or any bike for that matter and drop the clutch while standing on the rear pegs = dumbass"

Good job Jr. detective.
Ah, but unlike the other gumshoes I came with a specific problem and pictures to support it making it unique.
I was giving bad advice cause ******** ask the same question over and over again when all they ahve to do is search. I've searched for hours looking at every post on wheelies, and I still suck at them so I thought I might get better but I'm probably wrong.

Re: How high?
i know why you don't have frinds, it's that piece of **** civic!
here's an idea, sell the bitch car, buy a stuntbike (one you aren't affraid to wheelie) and a camcorder and then you can make wheelies and friends.
on a serious note, you gotta start some where. take your time. be safe. and start with the basics.
i started off doing power ups (less things to think about in a wheelie (no clutch) just gas and brake) until i felt comfortable in the air. i was doin' those in first and second for a couple months, i just started clutchin' em up a couple weeks ago and i'm still workin on height, like they were saying earlier it takes 1000's to get em up high and hold em. you have to get your rpms, clutch, and brake just right. its not gunna happen your first couple of times, be patient and keep tryin'.
props on the vid at least we know you do own a bike and are trying to learn. some people here probably don't even own a bike or if they do say they stunt or try and really just rock the slow lane.

never give bad advice someone just might take U seriously and go out and try that stupid **** your saying. Oh ya and unique whats unique about this everyones been there, just most of us never posted it up. I never talked to anyone about wheelies until I could ride one not saying thats right but like U said you have only done it a few times. I used to try to ride wheelies every where. Get about 1000 tries under your belt and then post up 9times out of 10 you'll have answered most of your own questions. everyone new to this thinks that this easy. ITs not hard as hell it just takes time and practice get used to being on your bike. I'm not tryin to hate on U your young and just need some practice keep trying it will come to u. Just watch what U post up.

Re: How high?
not sure if anyone said it, but just keep practicing.
just ride around back and forth on that street stepping up RPMs by like 500 everytime you clutch it. just get *****. and remember to cover the back brake incase you start to loop.

I really wanna get a good video so I actually know how high I'm getting, if it doesn't start pouring rain (supposed to be strong storms today) within the next hour I'll go out.
The problem is I can't use that spot that often, even on sunday at 9pm there seems to be some ******* working there, the longest I've stayed is 15 minutes.
