All Star Wheelie Rider

[coolhead03]

Riding a wheelie yesterday in 2nd, in a pebbly grassy field, like a big shot i tried to keep it up all the way across and went up all the way. I droped off the back, the shee hit the grab bar came back down and proceded to to keep going. So I got to get up and chase the thing down in Oneal elements, It got about 25-30 yds before i caught it because I was expecting/hoping it would stall. I got to ride the rest of the night with dark brown smudged acoss my back. I still feel like a jackass.

[bansheeplatinumz]

Thats what ya get for trying to be a big shot lol... Dont worry happens to us all... You just have to get up and back on.

i can ride 2nd threw 5th, 6th sometimes gets a little scary at 65-70 mph!! its all about the balance!!!!!

[coolhead03]

Damn smokin how the hell do you keep balance in a powerband while shifting. I always stay in the same gear i started the wheelie in. Mine will pull them up in 5th, I almost think its easier to ride them the faster your going. when i dumped it i was in 2nd i think, I was trying to keep it at the balance point, I should have just hung on for the ride but i freaked out for some reason and let go. have'nt dumped it since, and im much more comfy on 2 wheels now.

i just start in 2nd and go through the gears when it comes up to far i shift it drops for a mili sec and go back to the balance point once in 5th i just kinda balance it between 11&12 oclock. you"ll get it it only took me three grab bars 2 sets of toomeys and know no grab bar cause i cracked the weld on the 1 side. pratice!!!!!!

It takes some serious skill to wheelie a banshee any distance especially on dirt. I find if I'm in any gear below third it just spins out. On pavement its a different story, but I have only had my shee a month and I'm still getting used to the powerband. In first and second on pavement its like "zip" and its up in a split second. Normally I just pull it up for a few seconds and come down. I don't want to be starting a new thread on the rides of shame section anytime soon you know...

Yeah, I know what ya mean on tryin to get usd to the powerband

it is still a challange for me. Ive almost dumped it countless times

but i never have done it in a wheelie on the shee. On my Craptor

its a different story. The first time i got to 4th in it i went back on

the grab bar and onto my a$$. It rolled like 3 times and when I

got up the tire was off the rim, both left arms were bent, handlebars

bent, grab bar looked like a taco. Plus lots of road rash but

oh well still got the shee, now i can get plenty of practice doin wheelies

on it.

I'm pretty good at wheelies on my shee. I've been practicing quite a lot lately. I'll pull it up in 1st gear without the front tires even moving the slightest bit and ride it through 6th (granted I have enough room). I've even sat on the bars and wheelied already. Do some heelclickers while in mid-wheelie...Crazy stuff like that. Just gotta get used to your machine and where the power goes.
