I was at Costco, trying stoppies on a couple of bikes, and the brakes sucked so I thought it was really hard. Anyway I took a motive mountain bike for a spin and as soon as i hit the front brake the rear wheel lifted off the ground. It was really cool and a lot easier than on my Gixxer.

It's nice how you can get up to the balance point really easily and sit there for a coupe of seconds. I never even came close to looping it. Now I want a bike to practice on!

How do you do wheelies? I can only get the wheel about a foot off the ground before it slams me back down..

 

I wheelie my mtn bike in 1st range 3rd or 2nd gear. Looped a stoppie yesterday first day out on the bike after all winter
