Did you learn wheelies WITHOUT crashing??
Well how many of you have done it?? Just curious to see how many have actually done it. I'm talkng basic balance point wheelies, nothing fancy.

Re: Did you learn wheelies WITHOUT crashing??
I rocked some balance points one down the two straights coming out of stuntwars last weekend.... My friends I was with that actually have BP and more down were impressed, it felt like it just floated there was the best feeling in the world. I didn't crash, only when it was heading towards the right and I had my *** off to the left side in the stand up I felt like I was about ready to loop out.

I never crashed learning, but the last wheelie i pulled last season my tire blew out because it didn't have much tread left, hence my own damn fault

Now that I read this, that made no ******' sense. What I meant to say was when I was still a squid first learning wheelies I never wrecked. But once I got a stunt bike and really worked on doing idle wheelies, I set down my bike a lot. That's just part of the learning curve.

I never went down back in the day doing highway stuff.....its when u start to learn the slow stuff (i.e. 12 o'clock tricks, circles, and coasters) that you will start to eat it

crtch, if youve only crashed 4 times, why does your bike look like such a piece of ****?
i crashed a million times learning, and i still crash every now and then...

Re: Did you learn wheelies WITHOUT crashing??
Back in the day I had 2 bad crashes 1) I went from a high chair right into a high chair endo. I got tank slap hit a curb and got pined between the bike and a pine tree. Fucked me up. This was back in 97 no hand brake
2) I was on a highway stand up and my kick stand moved down shut the bike off locked the back tire up and well you know the rest. No jacket and shorts and that was way before anyone used the back break
Now my bike hits the ground every time I ride. Cage tested and approved
