Re: slow wheelies
having brake control on lock will make it so much quicker on your real bike

Re: slow wheelies
I learned break control on a quad and then to slow wheelie on an F4 doing a staggered stand-up with an almost flat rear tire. It was easy. Then each following day I put a few more lbs of pressure in the tire till it was at about 25 lbs. Worked good for me.

Do yourself a favor and punch yourself in the face squid.

And when you get have your mom put on some high heels and stomp on your nuts....

i hate idle riding, i allways use an idle adjuster, partly b/cause i dont have a hb, its just no fun having to use a hb in wheelies b/ci like to pop uover the bp and just let off the gas a bit to get down to the bp.

i learned using the footbrake, then the handbrake... and i use them as little as possible. what does this have to do with my post though?

Re: slow wheelies
Learn FB first, then graduate to HB. Crawl before you walk... and as OMR said, learning on a quad or 50 is the best way.

Re: slow wheelies
gearing doesn't matter as much as people like to think, it all depens on what rpm ur in.

Re: slow wheelies

and 5th gear with gearing would be crazy, 5th gear stock is insane
