world record
 

in this months streetfighters mag they report some guy overseas setting the record for a backwards wheelie at 151.7mph! then he did a two up backwards wheelie with his wife at 137.6mph. i can barely do a regular wheelie on my boys tricycle but backwards?

yep, another story proving foreign dudes have us on lockdown with the stunts, were gettin owned by them! :twofinger

i wanna see. that theres a guy here with my crew that been trying to do backwards wheelies on his 929 but has only got little baby wheelies... i wanna see a vid

thats just insane!!!!! at a 150 im tucked and paying the utmost attention to the road.....ahhh to each their own...whatever floats your boat i guess :confused:

thats fucking crazy!!!:badcop :eek: :eek: :eek:

Worth It??
 

Some guy got Killed trying them. I am really sorry can't remeber the crew or the guys name but it was at a show the crew was from FLA some where. I wanna say the guys name was Steve.
Did anyone see footage of the fastest wheelie record? It's not like there ridding a wheelie thay just pick it threw time traps like less then 100 ft. The tire is only like 2-3 inchs off the ground. I bet the same thing goes for this backwards wheelie.

Yep that was Carl Ohler from M.I Extremes at one of our "Underground" shows about 2yrs ago. That was a sad and crazy thing to witness :( . Not worth it in my book, but more power to those that still chose to risk it.

I remember hearing about that WAY long time ago on SBN. :( Not my cup of tea either, i am trying to get away from the whole fast wheelie thing, i can't wait to slow my wheelies down.

SEE A VIDEO OF WHAT

backward wheelies are cool if the person rockn them has every other trick on lock other then that i think its a far to risky stunt attempted by people starving for attention who cant get it any other way.

A video of what this thread is about... a 151mph backwards wheelie.

USA= OWNED...:laughing

Gotta try new things that's what it's all about, Of course what happened to Carl was tragic and I would never take away from that, but if everyone stopped doing things cause someone died trying we wouldn't have a sport...Am I wrong?

And oh yeah....VID PLEASE!!!!!That's gotta be sick!!!!

I agree, tricks don't kill people, human error or mechanical failure maybe.:(

backwards wheelie-wrong
 

somebody is confused. the record was not for a wheelie, but for merely sitting backwards at 157 or whatver. a guy on a hayabusa did 136mph wheelie for 1 k...1/2 mile and thinks he's a pimp. the difference here in europe is that when these guys do something that we do daily they call guiness book. 136mph for 1/2 mile on a busa ain't shit, we don't call everytime we do it, we do it 'cause its normal...these guys do it to get their name out there...sad really. oh well later-bd
