. but yeah make sure you cover the brake, what helped me is dragging the rear brake (engaging it a little during your wheelie) until i figured out how to ride at BP. Re: Holding Up A Wheelie

Re: Holding Up A Wheelie
So yeah, I went out tonight and covering my rear break I did a few staggered wheelies, it's scary at first but once I brought the front tire off the ground I could barely tell I was in the air, feels a lot safer after the initial jerk... but I got bored of failing at getting it up higher than I sat back down. I did a few pop-ups and tapped the rear break to get the feel for it, slid my left hand as far left on the handle bar as I could (on the clutch side), and I gave it a good rev and popped the clutch, VOILA! There I go rolling down the street for a good 6 or 7 seconds, I was happy.
Might **** to you wheelie gurus, but for me, HELL YEAH!! So I rode all the way to the stop sign with my arms in the air cheering and yelling in my helmet like a noob. Anyway, I'll keep practicing tomorrow and hopefully get a few video clips soon so you guys can tear my magic apart.
