Re: Noob Question?
admitting you are a squid is step #1, so you get some amount of credit for that
step #2 is believing in a power greater than yourself, which would be the wheelie guide, it will be your bible for the next month or 2, you can find it in the Help and How-To section > Stunting Help & Advice... which is where this thread should have gone, you n00b

Re: Noob Question?
you told how to do a power wheelie, you should never do power wheelies
read the guide again... 10-15mph, 1st gear, staggered, clutch in. gas bounce and clutch at the same time, hit rear brake, repeat. before long you'll have bp.

Re: Noob Question?
if you truely value your life then sell that bike and buy a ping pong table. riding bikes in general is very dangerous, stunting bikes is extremely dangerous and you WILL crash and you WILL get hurt and theres a good chance you will DIE. think about your family and **** before you start doing this stuff. if you have come to terms with all that then pull the clutch and let it fly.
Im a noob myself, I still cant stunt my 1000RR... mainly cause i dont practice.... however, I did buy myself a CRF50 and I wheelie it with no problem(see avatar). I can coast 1st or 2nd, and just recently I learned to circle it somewhat.
from my squidish point of view, I say practice practice practice. the dirtbike is more forgiving and I have learned the value of the rear break.
rear brake > life.

He's heeeeeereeeee...... lol
Yes... I'm going to be reading that wheelie guide... although it seemed that from reading it, method 1 was what cias was talking about. I'm sure theres a little thing or two here or there that can make ALL the difference.

Re: Noob Question?
It is much more simple than it looks (as I am learning about wheee's/wheelies now). I started at about 60MPH. Start with a side you feel more comfortable on and keep that foot on that side peg, stand, throw your other leg on that side, get your weight on the tank, put your transfer foot down followed by the other. Your transfer leg should be the first to be on the ground and last to leave. Once you are comfortable with that, throw your outside leg strait up in the air. Then you can start doing the other side, other methods, etc.
I am in first as of now. Once I get close to BP (balance point) I will start hitting second. Theres no art to the clutch - yank 'er in slip 'er out (fast).

Re: Noob Question?
What part? I tried to be thorough, but sometimes that can backfire. It really doesn't matter anyway, it's only learning how to ski. I was just trying to help 'em out with "tricks that weren't wheelies." Registered User

Re: Noob Question?
Hey I just saw someone already posted a link to the wheelie thread I just emailed ya. But that thing on the end is better than anyone gave ya on here.
And the golden rule to remember.
There are only two times your allowed to be on your gas tank if your not picking up guys.
1.If your standing on it proud doing a sik christ.
2.If your on your back wheel
^^^ These are the only times!
