weather cond. for a wheelie - Page 2 - Stunt Discussion

big ben · 06-30-2008, 01:51 PM

just conterwieght n2 the wind, whe faster u go, the more dangerous it becomes. b/c cintrifugal effect isnt strong enough to counter act, therefore u just get blown n2 a wall or watever it may b, A LOT FASTER, also giving less time to correct the movement. do them slower. and if ur an experienced rider u should b fine.

p.s. wear more protection in this case.

holy thread digging batman

And sigh.. Once again, your talking out your ass when you have no idea. A big heavy sport bike with plastics is hell in the wind. Light supermotos are EASY in the wind..

I will wheelie in 25mph wind with 35mph gusts, but I only do parking lot, not highway

I like low wind for the highway

I rode through a hurricane one time and never again. It's not the wind, it's the shit that's blown by the wind (tree limbs, orange traffic barrels, power lines)

Got no choice... windy as all hell in central NM all spring. I ride in the wind, gusty or whatever. I have been "blown over" due to gusts, but if I waited it would be months without riding....

I will if its just a little windy, but if its gusting like 20 mph or more then fuck that. I have the wind blow me into a concrete lightpole back in the day when people were doing hella fast wheelies! Thats how I lost my leg. The police report said there were 25 - 35 mph gusts that night!

Now that I got my wheelies slowed down sometimes I will sometimes I won't depends on how I feel.

My spot gets windy EVERY afternoon. Probably about a steady 20 mph wind coming through. Doesn't seem to affect my SS or staggereds too much, but boy does it fuck my sitdowns and tank wheelies up.
