wheelies

[Yellow Fang]

I had a strange dream last night. I dreamt I was doing wheelies. They were all effortless. I'm sad now I realise I can't do them.

 

[Mr Pig]

I never could do wheelies, even when I had a Chopper!

 

[Yellow Fang]

My brother had a Tracker, which was a copy of a Chopper. I couldn't do wheelies on that neither.

 

[mondobongo]

I could do great wheelies on my P7.

 

[Night Train]

I can barely manage two wheels never mind just one!

 

[ComedyPilot]

my best is about 100m on my hybrid, it's all about the balance point.

 

[Lardyboy]

Once did nearly 400m on my Raleigh 5 sp. racer when I was 12! Wouldn't want to even atempt a wheelie now.

 

[MessenJah]

I learnt to manual a 26" mountain bike until I ran out of momentum (about 100m or so) but I can't wheelie the same bike.

 

[ComedyPilot]

Would love to learn how to manual my hybrid, but prefer to hoist it up on the pedals and keep it up with balance/pedalling

Ooo-er...So how long have you been Mrs. Pig?

 

[Hilldodger]

I used to love doing monster wheelies on track when racing motorbikes but I can't get them right on a pedal bike

I dont do them on my racer, keep wanting to try on the fixed, but go from no handed then flick the front wheel up. Dunno if i can do that though.
Could just about do it on my BMX, but it was heavy nd was hard to do.
Can wheelie the folder though, learnt that whilst on holiday. I used to ride along, sow down, flick the bar around the keep riding, then slow down and flick it back around again. Got decent at that.
Its all about bike control

 

[Maz]

I'm still trying to master the art of riding hands-free. Can do it for a few seconds, but don't really have the knack of it...

 

[Paulus]

I never quite got the knack of pulling wheelies, I can ride no handed for a long way though, as long as I don't need to stop.

Back in the old days I was useless at them, my mates used to be able to do them for ages
