Re: Wheelie Machine

...i payed $39.99 for the plans & instructions on how to build one of those and built one for my fiddy!!! then i shot my self in the face!!

wheelie machines are just for novelty right...people don't get on them thinking they are gonna learn how to wheelie, i hope...what a sad sight that kid is who "traveled 8903274923874091237840978 miles to ride the wheelie machine". ****** looser. it looks like that other kid actually fell off hahaha i hope he fucked him self up that would be too funny.

this isn't directed at you... i just qouted you buddy... there are more people on earth that don't know how to wheelie and are looking for guidance instead of getting hurt. the wheelie machine is not like the street but it is the closest you will get to it without actually doing it . i can't speak for everybodies machine just ours... it is about 85% like the street once we set it up for that. i have thought over 500 people in 3 years ..and i got a 100% sucess rate and we have given over 10,000 demo rides at bikeweek and other events. cause you can learn brake control in a controlled environment with the fear of tearing you or your bike up and worrying about the cops.... to make a long story short... i pilot learns to fly a plan in a simulator..which is something like the real thing ... and they still learn to fly...so with the wheelie machine it is just a simulator to help you learn brake control,throttle control and body positioning. and it will cost you... but not nearly as much as looping your bike learning to clutch it up or bp ... sorry for the long post.. just wanted to help those who aren't as talented as others or they just my want to learn to do a wheelie instead of stunting

Re: Wheelie Machine

i looked at some of the videos... and they way they got the machines set up.. they are not realistic..cause the rope is to short to get bp and the drum is to tight to simulate the street... i believe they got it set up this way cause they are at a show..and they are doing the 20.00 demo rides..just so the customer can get a taste. a couple of those machines i sold to the people..and they have the ability to set the up to be more like the street. so i kinda see where you are coming from if you are just looking at the video....

i hope you are joking about paying 39.99 for plans...cause if so i got soe plans for you to build a space shuttle for the same price... lol you get what you pay for... a quality one that has realism is over 30 grand to build

on the real if you rode mine.. you would feel different...especially if you suck..i don't know what your skill level is ... but if you are a 1-5 on a scale of 10 anybody can benefit from the right machine... i guarantee results or i give the money back... i never had to give a dime back yet... but this is america and the great thing is we all got choices..

Re: Wheelie Machine

Ahh.. Well I rode the wheelie machine like 6 times last summer. before I got a big bike or was any where close to affording one. It was honestly a blast. I had a lot of fun riding that thing. It was set up different from the ones in those vids.It was a hydrolic set up, and had engine brake. Not saying it helped me ride wheelies but it was cool being the only one to be able to ride the damn thing. So I cant hate on it.

Re: Wheelie Machine

i have never seen one up close, but it looks like it would be cool if they had some kinda left/right tilt action goin on, but i guess it would be too hard having no forward momentum
