Was going to PM this person, but then thought, Adz, Toby and Tim wouldnt see it.

MR GHOSTIE, you owe me an apology, for making me sound like i was mental. Making me even doubt myself, and making me even think i had invented a contraption in my own head.

His site, i said the people who wheelie round tracks etc, and he wheelied round anaheim supercross track

Search Doug Domokos on youtube, i saw a vid of him on a trike, was boring as hell though...






















YES IM NOT NUTS:YEAH

Joe87

also another point to make. GHostie IS NUTS. HC rev limiter coasters!, Mad hc scrapes, pimp spreaders and merk step spreaders... PIMP!

GHOSTIE

lol, links dont work!......


































ok it does well done clever clogs!

Joe87

Im more pleased i didnt dream that device up

Im sure odair had one, cos i remember you asking why it kept spinning, and crazy eyes said it had a motor, as ya could hear it buzz? Who knows, maybe Glyn or alstar remember?

Sparks!

The learntowheelie site and the gyro thing is Jerry Jones though not Domokos, but domokos rocks, I have a video of him wheelying around the MX track, that was awesome and thats partly what got me into wheelying my supermoto around.

I'm a bit dissapointed to learn that jerry jones has this gyro thing on that supposedly makes wheelying easy, I don't understand how it works or if it really helps much, would be interesting to see if its true...

Joe87

i never said the learn to wheelie was domokos!!!!

Its something to do with the gyroscopic effect. The brazilians seperate the pads from the disc so it spins for longer. I tried it on my pit bike, but the way i looked at it was, if i was doing a show etc, would it look good getting off my bike to kick the calipers every time i wanna do a wheelie after a stoppie?

Sparks!

lol i'm sure that'd look great to the crowds

Personally I think it better to just learn to do em without any tricks or devices...

Some good old fashioned skill and hard work, patience and effort :YEAH oh and some body armour

old man roger

i moved my pads back and got going as fast as i could in first then yanked up a wheelie and then slowed it down to do some circles ,it was a very strange feeling when i turned the wheel but i don't think it makes it easier i think it is just for looks

Joe87

i moved them back on my pit bike, then i had to brake hard, and the lever came to the bar, then the front brake grabbed hard. Then i never done it again LOL

So, in laymens terms, what does this do?

Just spin your front wheel to create a gyroscopic force? :S

Goodluckmonkey

The gyroscopic effect helps keep the bike from falling over sideways.
Sme way that when you ride fast in a straight line, the bike's harder to lay into a corner.

Jumping jake semtex used one for the longest wheelie attempt a few years ago.

TOBY-
