I think it's something that doesn't need to be explained once someone can actually ride a wheelie. If you can COMFORTABLY balance point a wheelie w/ rear brake control at a slower speed then you can figure out how to 12 simply by knowing the dynamics of wheelying. I honestly think more people need to learn how to wheelie right before attempting a 12. If your wheelies still accelerate, other than on purpose, then you still have work to do before you should try to 12.

i say **** instructional video's. Go out there and crash your bike untill you learn how. That's how everyone learns new tricks. Although there are some people that shouldn't even try to wheelie period. `I see some kids that can barley lift up the front end jump on the tank and try to wheelie. That **** makes me sick.

can't learn by watching.... and anways, your average joe blow won't be able to just hop on a bike and 12 it...
it takes plenty of pratice and familiarity.. and if you know how to ride slow-medium speed wheelies, then there is no instruction, it's just getting over the fear..
