I go through the steps of performing beginner wheelies in order to improve your skills so that you can perform awesome wheelies! #savesportquads #trailriding #400ex #250x
After watching this I can now expert wheelie in bicycle on 1 wheel off of a 600 foot jump while landing enduro and carrying it out for 5 miles. Thanks!
My old ‘86 ATC 350X was a dream to wheelie. I’ve got a 2014 TRX450R.....not so easy! Guess I need to go back to the basics and start practicing .....great video man!
G'DAY MATE Love your videos just bought my first quad YFZ450R I'm 55yrs young learning alot enjoy watching you and Peter Hager ride keep up the good work 😁
Oh wow, that videos actually really helpful. Just knowing where to position yourself seems to be the key. I've always been able to do the bicycle trick but I could never do wheels. A couple hours practicing and I can wheelie for about 15 seconds which is awesome, all thanks to you. My quads automatic but it seems to work just fine anyway. I've got a ball hitch on the back of my quad for pulling trailers and it just so happens to touch the ground before my quad points straight up. Pretty much makes it impossible for the quad to fall back fully. Made finding the balance point so much easier. Still your video was a big help. Only thing is having the hitch on the back im not sure if I'm actually balancing or if it's acting like a make shift wheelie bar. Kinda feels like cheating lol
I’m going to Pennsylvania to try this out I’m only 140 pounds and the main problem was standing it up thank you now I know how to start one and pray I don’t die
yo omg i hit my first one when i went there i forgot to reply but it was awesome thanks for the tips :D didnt even get close to crashing the only time was when i did donuts in second gear and went on two wheels.
I was always pretty much a natural at wheelies on my warrior within a week of having it I was riding wheelies in sixth gear WITH NO REAR BRAKES but this is still a really great video
Watching this video and seeing some Wipeouts at low speed I think it makes me feel more comfortable about wiping out on a sport quad doing a wheelie , im always thinking about the quad flipping back on me and but after seeing your brother wipe out going a little faster the bike kinda just bounces back and lands back on all 4
I am learning to wheelie and I can do it pretty good on asphalt and concrete but I can’t really do it on dirt I do live in Arizona so the dirt is very dry and sandy the times I do get it up it feels not right as the tires spin a lot any tips for doing better wheelies in dirt?
Amazing Tutorial. Just Note that for your safety and not to damage your bike(like skid the grab bar, etc) choose a proper location to learn in my opinion the optimal location is a grass area or dirt.
Me personally I have a yfz450 2008 but I will start in 1 first gear at the slowest I can before it Boggs and dies so I give it gas but it just goes to like 8 or 9 o’clock and goes back down maybe because I was doing it on a gravel road and my tires where spinning I even tried popping the clutch and the same you think I should try it on sand because my tires have more grip on sand and asphalt please respond
Hey man really great wheelies. For stand up wheelies you should try standing on the wheelie bar instead of having your knee on the seat, It gives u way more control of the balance.
So today on my 1986 fourtrax 350 4x4 I pretty much just used the clutch in 2nd to see how fast I can go from 0 to 30 I ended poping my front end up lol scared me but I didn’t fall so I came to see how to control it and it seems pretty easy
any tips for automatic quads? reason for keeping arms straight? I'm trying to learn to wheelie I got past balancing point, bash bar scraped pave, my muscle memory instinct which was not a good idea was to try and pull myself up towards the handlebar but really I think I pulled the bike more towards going back over !
I don't have much experience on automatic quads but the arm lock is more of a beginner trick to make you stay back. It sounds like you have no problem getting the wheelie to its balance point so I would put a small bend in my arms and legs and once you get to your balance point you just have to manage throttle and you body position to keep going
@@BrewerOffroad thanks for quick reply, yeah it's the 2020 scrambler 1k so it comes up real easy, 900 lb machine so definitely don't want it coming over on me, thankfully the bash bar stopped it, yeah working on that throttle control, good video 👍🏽
I just brought a new atv I do not know what it’s called but all of my brake fluid poured out when I turned it on it’s side( like a idiot ) trying to fix my chain and I brought dot 3 brake fluid and do not know where it goes I need help
I’m 14 and I got a yfz 450 about 3 moths ago and I’m still having trouble keeping it up, I can shift all the way through the gears but I can’t keep it balanced
I think it'll just be a matter of taking time and practicing that balance point. 450 power curves make it difficult to balance a wheelie but you'll get there I promise!
i have a raptor 80 which has a surprising amount of power for its cc, but i dont think enough to wheelie. with a huge pull upwards and pinning it i cant even bring it to a balance point. its just me trying to stay up as long as it has rpms left. ant tips or is it a no go until i get a bigger quad?
Depending on your weight you should be able to sit all the way back after you pop it up and get to the balance point. It'll be alittle tricky because it has less power but since it's a pretty light quad you influence it with body weight more. It'll take some playing around to figure it out but just keep trying 👍
@@JoeCaparo where you ever able to get it to wheelie? I've got an lt80 and it's great for wheelies. Your quad definitely should be powerful enough. Especially if you use your weight.
Stretch your thumb after by pulling it towards your bicep. It takes conditioning to get rid of that pain. Also a new throttle cable and cleaning up the slide in the carb will help make the throttle push easier
I'd work on your balance point and throttle management in first. It'll teach you alot because it's so hard to hold a long wheelie in first but you can do it 👍
If you're going from a dead stop in 2nd to try and pop a wheelie it may bog or spin out it'll be alittle harder to do. If you roll in 2nd you'll have a better chance. 1st gear wheelies are best from a stop
any tips on getting the front end up, i only ride at the dunes with sand tires with a 400ex but i can’t get the front up and i’m not really good at clutch popping
I've never ridden dunes so I don't know how different it is to pop. But I'd imagine you need to be mid power band and pull up hard while leaning back hard.
So I just finished riding dunes with Pete Hager and the 400ex lacks power to do high speed wheelies so it takes alot of effort to get it up however 1st 2nd and 3rd you can get it up pretty well just have to be alot more violent than normal
You have to either be at your pivot point and shift or be high enough in second that when you grab 3rd you get into your power band. You gotta be careful using the power band to pull you back up in a wheelie because it can toss you back really fast lol
@@BrewerOffroad when i get it up in 2nd im barely giving it gas to keep it up i had to order a peice for my back breaks so i cant use dem for stability or a saftey point
@@brandonjeffers7501 sometimes you have to really commit to the wheelie sit back with your arms straight and give it a tug. It's similar to how Travis Pastrana teaches backflips.
@@brandonjeffers7501 Gotcha so to me it sounds like you are in the sweet spot to ride a good long 2nd gear wheelie but in order to shift to 3rd you'll have to speed up the 2nd gear wheelie. To do that you just need to keep your front end below your pivot point and force yourself to use the throttle to speed up and keep the front end up and time your shift when you are second gear 75% RPMs and at your pivot and grab 3rd.
Lean back and yank up. Commit to the wheelie. Don't let yourself lean forwards over the bars. Sit back and relax. Go low gear and commit to the wheelie
