Graham Jarvis Slow Wheelies 

He's a true legend

He's always mellow even in race mode!

@@PrimalEnduro I don't know him but I can only imagine the cool calculating mind is really what lets him excel. When other riders panic or gas it out, he calculates the correct technique, keeping that frame of mind.

@@AtlasEnduro I was fortunate enough to take part in his riding clinic in Nova Scotia. It was an absolutely awesome experience, highly recommend it if you ever get the chance. He is an extremely humble and modest guy, and let's his skills speak for themselves. The utmost respect to him.

@@yz125enduro7 Honestly next time he's with in a day or 2 driving from me I'm going. I'm glad to hear he's such a respectable guy.

Thanks for watching! Practice makes Progress!

Really fun to spend the weekend with him!

Thanks for watching! Glad you like it.

One thing he said was, get the front end to balance point as quickly as possible. It's hard to slow wheelie with it up just a little bit. You instinct will be to chase it with throttle and then you are not going slow.

@@PrimalEnduro Thanks! I'll take all the tips I can get :-) - very envious of your time with GJ - would love to do that but I doubt he's in Mexico often :-D

@@AndrewBoundy I think he was actually in Mexico a week before NJ! Try and find out who brought him in and see if they are doing it next year!

Tim is a great rider, and a GREAT teacher! A rare combo!

Even when he fails, he makes it look good!

You are everywhere!

That's a good idea, I'll do it and film both clutch and throttle....it won't looks as graceful as Graham, but I think I can demonstrate the point.

Practice makes Progress! You have to go out with intent to just practice, if you go out to "ride" then you will never practice!

@@PrimalEnduro that's exactly what I do. I go out to practice, next thing I know its 3 hours later and I'm 30 miles from my house 😂

covering the rear brake is the most important part. Now that you have that down you can safely work on the "smooth" part! Nice job!

@@PrimalEnduro Thanks! I can definitely visualize myself actually doing it right. Such an easy concept to talk about. I'm going to work on consistency, next. I think 2 strokes are the best for learning proper rear brake control.

@@sciencemilitia1853 yes sir, everyone can do it if they put the time in practicing! Me included...I need to ride less and practice more!

PrimalEnduro Yeah I usually just unload the bike and hop on the trail. I am going to start doing small practicr drills at home now as well.

good observation! and very good point, sometimes we have to remind ourselves to stay loose when riding. Try and let the machine do the work!

The one with Colton Haaker?

@@PrimalEnduro That's it!

@@dznnf7 Great Stuff! Love Traction Erag!

Really, out of all the things that we mere mortals can actually get good at in our lifetime, this is one of the easier techniques to learn.

Wheelie no problem!!!! But have you seen him run an enduro ?? Lol. That is amazing

em Burgess most people I know run yellow which is stock or “medium”. You can also adjust the power-valve on the ktms to move the hit

I don't think it matters which spring you use for this technique. It's more about body position and clutch/throttle control. The slow wheelie requires very little power from the bike. If you are spinning the rear tire you are doing it wrong.

@@savageenduro Thanks. I have yellow spring installed now.

@@PrimalEnduro I agree but you need to have that little help from your thottle as soon as you turn it...my two stroke right now has a small hesitation when opening the throttle. You can hear it revving up but as soon as you slip clutch some it bogs down...so what I did was gave it more throttle an that's when she flipped me like moms pancake on Sunday morning. Now on my four stroke if you just blip the throttle there is no dead spot. It comes up right away. That's why I was thinking maybe I need to turn power value in or out some like one person suggest. What's your feeling on this an do you know which direction to go? Turn in a quarter turn or turn it out?

@@savageenduro Any idea which way to turn an how much?

the ravedaddy any idea why? Is it the bike weight or what. Bc even the crf 150 can do wheelie tho

Then you are doing something wrong! It takes very little motor to get the front end in the air! Any bike can do it. Watch how he weights the suspension and then feeds in just a little bit of clutch/throttle while springing back up/back. It's very easy once you get the hang of it. Try doing stationary front wheel hops with the engine off...bounce it like a pogo stick until you figure it out then the rest will come easy!

I can ride massive wheelies on z125. Not the motor, you need to practice..

@@thegreatone582 100% lots of people making statements that their suspension is too stiff, or they don't have enough motor. It's not the bike, it's the rider. Watch the technique and practice it, you will be amazed what you can do with proper form!

All that is needed is a quick blip of throttle timed with the clutch and rebound. If you trying to use throttle to keep the wheel up you are doing something wrong. If you want to slow wheelie, you have to get the front end to the balance point real quick. It's hard to try and go slow with the front end just a little bit off the ground, the instinct will be to use more throttle.

@@PrimalEnduro Thanks! It's more of a shift of weight backwards while the wheel is coming up and the unintentional wrist twisting. More practice!!

As long as your are #1, that's all that matters!

PrimalEnduro ha,ha...I thought I was...then...!

He's very quiet...you have to pull it out of him sometimes!
