just thought i'd ask, anyone here been to wheelie school, or interested in goin???

looked at a few places, some say they teach power wheelies, cos they don't damage the bike
others say the teach clutch wheelies, cos they dont do any damage to the bike.

whats the score

sounds like a cool school trip, for all you grown ups to go on - maybe you can teach me how its done!!!!!!!!

The missus did one years ago and had a right laugh.......

Didn't improve her wheelies after she got back though.

I have never learned how to clutch up.  I use the snapped throttle and tug technique and then get to a balance point.  But I destroyed a gearbox learning how to go through the gears.  Does in the selector cogs too!!!!

Once you can do it smoothly, it doesn't do a great deal of harm.  Its all the ham fisted moves while learning that screws it up!

I know how to wheelie..... I just need the ball part to keep it up...... though I would fancy a wheelie school just all that doh for learning to do something I already know.....

just get out on your bike and give it a go, it's really easy

don't need to goto wheelie school the 10r will come up in 3 rd on the clutch even fourth with a tug?
ask glen i pulled a third gear minger easily 130+ carried for ages.
anyway back to the question 2 friends of mine went had a good laugh but then 3 wks later he'd been trying to wheelie all day and ended up clipping my mates bike and ditching his own? they teach you to roll it on in first, its very violent i know i used to do it ended up wrighting my blade off 5 x doing it so i wouldn't.
buy a old dog or go where theres no pigs and a good straight road and practice . WARNING  don't get frustrated cause you'l end up over cooking it and BANG bike gone so be paitient GOOD LUCK hope it helped may the mono wheel be strong and true? YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA

i'm not worried about gettin the front up, i'm more worried about keepin it up, and stoppin myself comin off or flippin the bike, cos i'm shit... to put it bluntly!

[GRNINJA]
