Physics project

This video demonstrates how fast wheelies are more stable than slow wheelies because of the gyroscopic effect of the rear wheel.

No hand brake... old recycled footage that you may have already seen... But I got college credit for this!

Re: Physics project

of course he did, you couldnt drive that bike without sprockets now could you?

if you meant stock sprockets or oversized (obviously you do), thats not really relevant on the streets. cuz you just wheely in a higher gear to get the speed you need, and keep the rpms high so you have enough enginebrake to play with.
