What sort of contraption does AC use....
.....to keep his front wheel spinning on the orange R1 in Judgement Day 4? He's definetly using something......maybe a small electric motor like on a bicycle? The gyroscopic force created by the wheel being in constant motion makes a HUGE difference while in a wheelie......bicycle riders have done this for years, even if they just keep it spinning manually w/ their hand. I'm sure some of you have seen this before and wondered the same. Has he used this in a comp? Do you see it as "fair" if he or someone else does use this idea in a comp? Don't get me wrong.....the guy has incredible skills, but personally I see it as "cheating". Whats your thoughts?

Re: What sort of contraption does AC use....
Hmmm.......I think there's something else going on. I've spun the wheel w/ no pads and it does rotate nicely for a while, but does slow eventually. AC was pulling it up at what looked like about 5 or 6 miles an hour, then the wheel would look like it was speeding up slightly, then maintaining about 12- 15 mph, and would not slow AT ALL for the duration of the wheelie. He was also doing stoppies prior to these wheelies......how would his pads "spread" by themselves?
