Animalman294 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 It takes a lot of practice, and once you learn the balance point then you can either use the throttle or the foot brake to keep that balance............ :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdust Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 try this go in 2nd and keep the rpms alittle high then nail the throttle and lean back. it will pick it up alittle slower(not as dramatic) then hold it as long as u can. practice on dirt its forgiving.

Animalman294 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I like to practice in the sand, that way if anything happens I have a softer landing............ :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highroller355 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 listen to animal man i taught alot of people in sand first thing flip it back so you lose your fear then its easy to fing your sweeet spot and go for days once you lose the fear of falling it gets much easierif you dont have sand go from a dead stop on grass or dirt so your not goin to fast you will get it keep trying good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felcon edition banshee Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) ok thanx for all your help and i do it on sand + is it true that if you just go over your fear once (get it quit high) and land it it will be less scary the rest of the times? cuse that what hapened with my ramping (read artical in the stories of shame) and i know some bit about balance points cuse i wheelie my mountin bike at the balance point and stay there for some while. but is it difficult to keep ballance when your not useing the rear brake cuse my right foot is ussaly stufed between the rear light and grab bar Edited January 29, 2007 by felcon edition banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellison445 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Watch videos of other people riding wheelies, or just people that you ride with. Watch there technique and style then try on your own. Biggest tip I can give you , Is become friends wtih that back brake. Once you do that you will have it down pack.. I can ride them up to 6th gear, coast the bike and down shift back to first while still wheelieng.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdaddy69 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 make yourself a custom beefed up grab bar that will stop you from goin over, or even make a wheelie bar and kinda use it like training wheeles when u learned how to ride your bike.

Canadarider Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I got no rear break iam so cheap ill not buy a one so when i go over i go over lol . I sit on the gas tank and pull the wheels up in 2nd and can go for a pretty long time. The one thing i can tell you is if u come off and scare yourself get right back on and do it till u do it down pat . Sorry boys for the spelling iam a little drunk lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 you have to lose the fear of falling over backwards. this is the most important thing. first thing you could do is with the engine off, lift the front end up with youre hands and set the banshee on its grab bar. then climb on and notice how you can actually sit and control the bike in that position.. now go out and purposely wheelie too high and lightly tap the grab bar. dont slam down hard on the grab bar because then youre going to break the frame and also fall off from the impact. just get the front end up quick enough to make the grab bar gently scrape the ground. as soon as you feel it touch, tap the brake real easy and bring the front end down. practice this touch and go style untill you get good at it. once you lose youre fear of going over too far than the wheelie becomes a piece of cake. next go for a real wheelie using the gas and brake. this is how i tought myself, and my dad, and my nephiew to wheelie.
