Rockin slow no handers

Been practicing no handed wheelies on the fohundred idled up, got them goin for about 70 to 80 feet, found it is a little easier to hold on to the middle handlebar piece with your right hand and use your left for balance.

Nice...I tried them pretty much for the first time this weekend, I got only about 30ft though. I had trouble with the brake, I'm not sure if it's my brakes of it it was me, but I couldn't keep the front end down, I'd drag the brake and it wasn't enough, and even if I pushed it hard I couldn't stop it.

Similar to you, I found it easier to grab my front fender with my left hand and let go of the throttle...

I had the same problem

I just idled it up higher and leaned back a little more so the front end will ride lower and not hit the grab bar

I went back out tonight and played around....man I suck. I just can't get it consistent at all. I had one that was a little over 30 ft. but most others were pretty bad. I was doing them on the lawn and thought that may be the problem so I went on the pavement and did even worse. I won't rest until I have them on lock though....stupid no handers.

Keep on it

It took me about an hour of straight practicing just that move, I wish I could video and download it but I don't know how.

Yeah, between both days I've tried it I've probably spent roughly and hour practicing. Normally in that amount of time I can at least get the feel for the trick and then keep getting better and better, but as of right now I don't even have a feel for it. Going to work on it some more tonight probably if I have time. I gotta get it down, it's killing me.

Like I said I've been practicing on the lawn, and it isn't exactly the smoothest surface, so I figured it would be a lot easier on pavement. I went out on the pavement and couldn't do it there either. So back to the lawn tonight.

Last night on my 35 footer I had to purposely drop it down because i was heading for the trees...that one may have went another 15ft or so, but we'll never know. Figures, that's my luck...lol.

Thanks for the tips.

no handers

I thought that a no hander meant that neither of your hands are on the bike that's how I started to learns mine. course I'm only going about 30-40 ft right now. can somebody enlighten on this a little?

Yeah, I would say that a no hander is neither hand on the bike....You could say a "no throttle hand" wheelie also I guess. Right now I am trying both and once you get one I'm sure the other comes easy. Just trying to find the secret to them. I'm only going 30-40ft also.
