Re: Wheelie frustration

"sounds like alot"? Do you really want to make wheelies? Wear a tire to the cords learning just to clutch it up and by then you will definately have made some progress, hopefully.

Re: Wheelie frustration

LOL I started on my quad took about 8 or 9 tries to get it then I moved up to my dirtbike that took about two days of riding a couple hours each day... I think its simply a comfort zone people need to find...

ummm...you dont mention how few of hours it took you to get your Idle wheelies "on Lock" on your f4easy

and if it took 8 or 9 tries on your quad (sounds like you're a slow learner)

maybe you should post some vids up of your skills if your gonna talk smack

and 200 launches per day would only sound like alot to someone who has not learned slow wheelies yet ....just my

No one was talking smack I was just saying. A few hours was anywhere from 2 to 3 hours... Havent even started on my F4i yet dont have a cage so im not even at that level.

by the sounds of it, it seems you are the one talkin **** which is normal for the average person on a forum who is too much of a ***** to hold their ground in person. I have run into to too many all talk people out there on my bike to know when it goes down the loudest mouth is the first one out. If you didnt understand that ill put it in simple form dont insult my intelligence "online" hold your ground and wait to do it in person. I am sure you will have the chance to do so since my magazine is set to be in all 50 states next year and im sure we'll meet sooner or later.

Not talkin **** buddy....just telling you how it is.... And I was right .... I made a post ..helping a guy learn how to do ...what he asked about....

Then You chimed in and said ...that sounds like too much ....

and Then you chimed in and said how easy quad wheelies were for you blah blah....
and I came back and comented......"That sounds like someone who has not done slow wheelies yet"
....and You came back and said ....You have not learned slow wheelies yet.... I was 100% correct

and I can help you too....By telling you ...when it's time to learn slows on your 600....It's going to be about 10 Times harder than Your quad... and 200 launches a day is a good target...and you might get it in a few days or a few weeks. (but i dont think it's gonna happen in 8 or 9 tries...or 2 or 3 hours )

and if you think im a loudmouth...stick around this site for a few more months and see if you still think that

Re: Wheelie frustration

4 wheelers are a joke to wheelie lol. im 16 years old and paid for my bike on my own so i definately didn't try to learn too fast but it took me about 2 months riding about every other couple days for a few hours and all day sunday. i would have rode a lot more but i had to work to afford the bike lol. anyways, take your time it will come but definately get someone to take a pic or video cus if you think you are at 12 o clock you are at like 9 in reality.
