An Apology....
is required.
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.

Read the paragraph on here that starts '''In 1981, honda hired domokos,''

http://www.thewheelieking.com/index.html
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...

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...

Re: An Apology....
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?

Re: An Apology....
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

Re: An Apology....
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

Re: An Apology....
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
