dude how can you not be sure if the "sport is for you" or not? you know...it is, or it isnt.

 

+1 wtf is he talking about??

 

Personally if you haven't gotten it down all summer somethings wrong.Dont waste your money on wheelie school buy a dirt bike and pop it up man

 

ha yeah blow all your loot on someone to tell you what you can learn on your own like everyone else

 

money anit gonna help youe skills..

 

yep just practice!! it has taken me about a year and i have a 954 9up
never gave up, now i can roll them slow, and i'm 46 yrs old. so i know you can do it!! quit crying and just clutch it up!!

 

do i need to gear my bike or not?


i dont need to be going 110 mph to be happy with the wheelie

slow stuff is what i want

 

hey BMW before spending the big bucks on Wheelie school.....Spend some small bucks 20 or 30 Bucks and Buy Kyle Woods and Matt Gorkas Wheelie Videos......Worth the money , especially for someone like yourself who is really wanting to do it , but having trouble. (I already knew how to do decent power wheelies, But these vids have helped me improve, and I'm just starting to be able to slow my stuff down a little)(And I know the Vids will help me more as I get better and better....Packed with great basic info) Watch them many times , and keep practicing.... I'll bet you are happy with the results within weeks. good Luck

 

If you cant wheelie and r1 then... i learned my first wheelie the first month i had my bike and taught most of my friends in two weeks. just give it more gas and let the clutch out faster but don't just pull in the clutch rev and drop it pull the clutch in while you're giving it gas, give it more gas then let the clutch back out as fast as you can. Repeat till you're giving it enough time in between giving it gas and letting out the clutch to bring the front wheel up.... its not hard you just have to get a real feel for it.

 

tough guy............

 

What I think you actually need is a different bike if you want to learn slo wheelies..

Also just learning to wheelie period first.. power wheelies or whatever. will help with the slo wheelies... Slo wheelies consist of good throttle AND brake control... You don't have either, so the results ar going to be breaking a lot of stuff.. LOL

Just learning power wheelies will help you establish some throttle control... Then if you want to learn brake, you either can get a 50 or just go for it on the big bike like I did... But just jumping strait into slo wheelies on your R1, my prediction will be this: Crash, crash, crash... I quit...

 

TRUE,, you can only tell a person so much.. its all in the Heart & ***** .. i taught myself everything i know.. BY MYSELF ... just gotta ride the **** outta bike & try & understand it.. Dont be scurred fool. it'll probably hurt a little bit..lol Just try & make since of whats going on while your up there on one wheel.. its all in your knowledge dog.. COVER THE BACK break.. dont be a jack @ss.

 

keep at it took me a year and new sprokets to atleast do one i was proud to show off

 

seat time and *****= wheelies

 

So, basically what B.M.W. needs since he had enough seat time over the summer is some *****..

 

You think some school is going to teach you how to grow some ***** lol.

 

true that...

 

^^^^^^ are you for real (46y/old)!!!!mad props to you because it's harder to learn new things as u get older, hey BMW listen mang I told you from the other post that u need to sell your R1 because the fear of wrecking it is holding you back or keep it if u have some $$$ and buy a $1000 f4i or 929 or whatever and learn on it, u have alot of talented riders in here who wouldn't mind giving you advice and show you the ropes but make sure u want to do it because it exites you and u love it cuz it's not cool to be a poseur

 

Dude if you wanna waste your money on a school check this out first --->CLICKY<--- HAHA

But seriously if you haven't picked anything up all summer I don't think stunting is for you. Do you have any stunt DVDs? Just go out and buy a bunch of them and watch, they may help you and find someone that stunts or wants to stunt in your area and go out with them. I wouldn't waste any money on a school. How much does it cost for wheelie school? I'd hit up the classifieds or ebay and buy a 50 or a dirt bike and learn on that rather than spend money on a school But if you wanna waste your money then go for it.

I've been working on stunting this summer and am doing spreaders (weak ones), seat standers, sitdowns, standups, and trying a bunch of other stuff. And I have been riding for about 6 months. I'm not very good, but I'm practicing almost everyday now. Stunting wasn't a priority for me, but its turning into one. I know I have a long ways to go before I get good but you have to get out and practice. Rather than chop the throttle, clutch it and start slow. Other than that go out and watch some vids and try to find someone to ride with

Dont spend the money i have been riding for 6 months on and off and i ride with the locals best.All i did was just find the best and watch watch watch,after awhile they just started telling me what i was doing wrong and now i can do stuff alot faster and alot crisper.
