wheelies

[bansheezer]

How can you ride a decent wheelie on a banshee without goin over or not gettin it high enough? Just curious if there is tricks.

Well as a safety net you better get that right foot to dab that back break on instinct or reflex, your choice

just dont be scared and practice on dirt first for a lil while

i know v-forces do help.. they give u more constint power instead of outanowhere power like stock reeds do!

[hittintrees srh]

its all about the pivot point...find that, control the throttle/brake, and your good to go

 

like it was said before practice practice practice!

I think there was a great article on \\\"How to ride wheelies\\\" in last months Dirt Wheels. I hate those stupid articles. If you\\\'re near some dunes, learn there since it won\\\'t hurt that bad when you fall off. Don\\\'t be afraid to scrape the grab bar a little (i said a little, don\\\'t grind it off and break your subframe). Also, about 3 to 4 beers will help out tremendously. This is all assuming you have the required modifications to properly do a wheelie; the Boost Bottle(for that immediate throttle respose there so known for), and the rainbow colored power bands(they\\\'re less harsh than the strait, i mean single colored ones.) And always remember to wear your hat backwards when attempting wheelies for the first time.

I stand up and then put it into 4th gear. Then give it gas until its right under the powerband. Then stab the throttle and back like crazy. I can ride a wheelie for 150 ft. like that maybe longer.

I practiced all last summer and now it is easy, you give me a strip and I'll wheelie for as long as you want

i used to ride wheelies all day on my kx80 years ago, but haven't mastered it yet on the shee either. but just like on the bike, practice-practice-and more practice. i think blippin the throttle and feathering the brake is the trick. soon you'll be the one being asked 'how do you ride wheelies so good on your shee?'

lets see some video from all you banshee wheelie riders

Not a vid but it's a good pic.

my longest wheelie so far is around a mile. i did it going down my street. i had to set it down because i couldnt make this turn on the road on the back two wheels. the best way to get better is to keep practicing and find the balance point. i also find it easier to stand on the pegs when you wheelie so you can shift your weight easier

[pipebomb]

it's bit of a pain to find the balance point on a shee cause it's so far back. but you'll get it.
