I agree... but it seems like some of the members on this forum hardly use brakes. I think I use mine too much, but I'd like to hear what others think???

Yeah... I don't use much brake while doing circle wheelies either. My statement above was for my regular wheelies. I think I rely on the brake too often when I should be more balanced.

As for tires... I don't necessarily agree with you on that one. I've done circle wheelies with knobbies, slicks and a variation of tire sizes. It's all about what you're most comfortable with IMO.

I dont use the brake on my XR100 much for circles. I learned them on axle pegs.

You should first be able to clutch up from a standstill and walk behind the bike without brake first (on XR100). You should be much much higher than on your avatar
