ok got a bike a few months ago, my friend got his 04 r6 like a month before i got my 04 gix6, new to bikes period. but he can do balance point wheelies now and i really want to learn them but for some reason i have this thing in the back of my head that wont let me get the damn thing high, i will be like 2 feet off the ground and feel like im gonna loop it, how did you guys get over this? im 6' 7" so maybe i am just higher up but i dont know. how did you guys get this out of your head? haha maybe therapy!!! thanks for any advice

 

take your time man, there is no rush and its not worth crashing a brand new bike. just enjoy riding and it'll come to you. Start of just sittin in first and power wheelie till revlimiter and just keep going higher each time till your comfortable

 

Everyone learns at their own pace. Don't try to keep up with someone else or you'll end up crashed. Let it push you a little but don't do things you're not fairly comfortable with. It'll come in time. Just keep doing wheelies and try to ride them out further and further and it'll get higher all on it's own. That's how I learned

 

I had to loop a wheelie before I figured out what going back to far was. Know I know what the difference between to far, and not far enough is. You want to be somewhere between those two places.

 

everytime i think i get to high i get that im on a bike feeling and take a foot off the peg..(which i know is a bad bad thing to do) just sketchy i guess. i really just need to practice i guess, thanks for the advice ive gotten so far

 

Same here I looped a bike a month ago taking it too fast.. Just learn at your own pace and once you finally get it you'll know
