Re: wheelie schools

I wouldnt bother with a wheelie school. They are a waste of time. Normally the bikes are rigged to cut out way before bp. They teach ya to squid wheelie on the gas, its not wot we do at all.
You would be better to come over and ride at some ones spot they will teach ya far more than any wheelie school.
i think learning to slow wheelie is the biggest step in stunting so def come over its so much easier if some one shows ya.

Wheelie schools = Garbage.

Unless they let you do your own thing where they practice. Could get a good spot out of it.

Re: wheelie schools

Friend of mine runs a wheelie school, I think personally they are more for road bikers wanting a fun day out with their mates, it's not really a "stunt school" as such, and if you REALLY want to stunt properly then forget schools and go learn in an industrial estate/ closed car park... if you just want a fun day out with mates and pull a few wheelies on someone else bikes, then go for a school

Re: wheelie schools

Plus, by not doing wheelie schools you could save enough money to buy a cage.

i got a cage already, powers stuntworx, delivered directly from them in 10-15 days, handy to fit and seems bullet proof, i dont know about other bikes/models but on the cbr f2 i cant fault it, its hit the ground a few times and hasnt budged. Plus my chain and sprockets arrived today from the stuntfactory and they only took 6 working days... sweet... cant wait to fit them tomorrow :YEAH

Re: wheelie schools

Cages are about £200 delivered, but will depend on the shop you use and customs lottery.
