that's all there is to it.


anything you think you might know about wheelies, forget right now. start fresh and you will learn alot faster than trying to follow some sort of guide.

 

i have been intently watching.. observing... i just want to get the "feel" of it...

my forks are jacked up right now, so when i get those changed, i will practice more... texas is good for one thing ... winter riding :YEAH

 

i was told to just keep goin back untill you think you are going to fall then let off the gas, then thats your b.p., and it works good enough for me too. i think this was already mentioned, but thats my

 

fu(k the rear brake idea, (cover it for safety)

1. get a rear handbrake

2. drag your feet IN THE GRASS OR DIRT in 1ST gear to learn the balance point

3. corky the retard can wheelie a fiddy dragging his feet beside himself, don't worry about the brake, keep it up with the throttle in 1ST dragging your feet, if you feel ur gonna loop, squeeze the brake, but try to learn throttle control

4. u'll be wheeli'n in 10 min.

ps. stay off the concrete

 

thanks! great advice!

 

i think once i get used to using the foot brake it would be terrible to try to figure out the handbrake..

which foot brake is good for wheelies... but handbrake is good for standups?

 

No don't get a hb you don't need it. I never learned by foot dragging but then again everyon does it differently. Just go out keep popping it up and bringing it back down with the foot brake (if necessary), it might take a few good practice sessions but it'll come to you.

 

bad advice.

forget the handbrake. use your footbrake.

i can teach a autisic dog with one leg how to wheelie a fiddy dragging his feet.

go practice.

 

you must have not read my following post

 

you must have wrote it backwards.

Who else bought a handbrake cause they couldnt wheelie ???

lots and lots of poeple i know.


stay away from the HB's till you got that footbrake down.

 

i wouldnt' worry about the brake AT ALL really, use the throttle to wheelie

 

sheesh, this is stupid....just cause it's a girl all you fools are bickering.

If you know you're gonna quit if you loop it, then don't even bother trying to learn....and don't bother asking people's advice on how to wheelie. If you want to wheelie, then your gonna wipe out....simple fact.

after you've figured out if you're going to accept the crashing aspect of wheelie-riding, then your next step is to go practice...then practice more, and more, and more, and more......etc.

and you don't need a hand brake...people were riding wheelies well before handbrakes were a common commodity.

 

nicely said^^^^^

 

i wish i knew girls who rode fiddys or even knew what one was! you guys are my kinda ladies dont listen to the trash keep practicing and you'll just get a feel of how its supposed to be after trial and error just cover that rear brake and you'll never have to worry about falling that brake saves lives well skin as you put it

 

thanks
