One tip: if you can't wheelie while looking forward, Then bend your arms a bit and look down a tiny bit(you might want to make your seat a bit lower)

@adithyankunnummal4811 5 лет назад

@markomitreski1182 3 года назад

Well some riders can wheelie really easily while others like me need to practice a lot. I ride a line I have risen the white line but I couldn’t wheelie so I set a goal to go out every day and practice for 2:30 hours every day no matter what and after five years I can wheelie for around 40 meters consistently and my best wheelie is around 60 meters and with practicing every day in another five years I am confident that I can wheelie for 200 to 300 meter.

Tip: If you are very committed to practicing the wheelie, point your saddle as your seatpost can. That way your bum can have more support and you won’t slide down the back of your saddle.

@BlinkerDKS 6 лет назад

Thank you! Nice tutorial and cool bike!

@mtbboy1993 6 лет назад

great you mentioned this 0:56 way too high saddle, not something I have seen a lot of, apart from kids riding bikes with the wrong size, where lowering saddle is an impossible, or too small bike with saddle al the way max. very heavy fork and components making the bike too planted is also something I see a lot of. some cheap bikes are so heavy that it makes things really tricky, but a good workout. I tried a Scott Gambler DH20 2009 bike the fork was so heavy I could barely light the front, I could not pull a wheelie, good the owner sold it, was way too heavy, but at least it was not flexy. but the too light front end can feel awkward too, my trek 6300 is the lightest bike I got and ever ridden on, the front end is so light the bike wants to flip to the back if I am not careful, but that's not an issue for me. So my advice is get used to the biek before doing tecnical things.

@dr_skipwith 6 лет назад

Finally someone mentioned using the hips for balance, without hips you're nothing in a wheelie. Personally I would lower that seat ALOT lower, that also brings balance point up higher too. Are you gonna make a "How to swerve a wheelie" video?

I’m happy you dogged it Brandon! Seat position is totally a preference and I’m not sure about making a video about swerving a wheelie (I’d need to get those dialed myself first!)

So when you were showing the too high of a gear where the bike was shooting out from under you....well that seems to be an issue on my 29er scott aspect when im trying to wheelie. My gearing isnt too high but seems like when im trying to figure out where my balance point is the bike finds it easier to flip back before i even have time to try for my rear brake. Also the side to side balance seems to be almost impossible to achieve. If i can get the wheel up and start getting a couple cranks in ill end up falling sideways. Been practicing like crazy lately
