My Progression on the wheelie The first two to three days When I Tried the wheelie, I could barely get the front tire off the ground, but when it did it felt good.
2-3weeks into it: was getting it up but not the smartest way. I was slipping the clutch not popping it like I shouldve been.About this time I had my first close incounter with looping it. I got greedy tried to save it and stood it straight up. My feet came off the pegs and i was walking my bike down the road... no biggie
. felt my butt hole pucker up on that one
4weeks-6 weeks aka(Now): My comfort level is getting better but not the best Still grip the handle bars like a savage everytime but I can hold my wheelies all the way to redline(About 60-80ft) Also Im getting use to brake control which is key.
But Ill be a noob and admit that when someone on Stuntlife says just grow some ***** and do it..... Yea thats what you got to do. The advice on here is one stepping stone to 100 needed to getting a wheelie down.
Oh I prefer Staggered but I cant seem to keep my passenger peg out so I switched to seated. Subcage comes in two weeks. Cause 905 is slow.
But, basically Lesson learned is when you come close or dump the bike just pick it back up. Everything is replaceble.
