Using front brake to compress the fork

I was just wondering if it's possible to use the front brake to compress the forks and then snap the throttle to wheelie.

Oh and when you're doing a burnout do you usually hear chirps? I was just attempting one today, I got the clutch out and had the revs at about 10-12k for 5 seconds or so but I couldn't hear any chirping. When I got home I noticed some road litter had been burned into my tire so it must have been spinning.

Re: Using front brake to compress the fork

uhh...... i dont think it would be that effective...... its just like trying to bounce on the handle bars and not the pegs........ wont work good at all.....

and as for teh burnouts i dont hear the chirps unless im doing rolling burnouts and trying to slow down the tire.... i think its the sound of the tire trying to grab w/ the ground...... at 10k rpm you probably dont must friction on the ground.
