    be careful man, lifting a front wheel is easy but best to learn to wheelie in leathers and back protector.

    Once you try to get that wheel up and control keeping it up you WILL drop the bike. THEN it hurts. Hint, use someone elses bike

    thats a weak sauce wheely man but i like how you animated it

    my dad could wheelie for about 100 yards straight before he sold the dirt bikes (damn those were fun!)

    hint: when your attempting a wheelie, you need good throttle control, when you feel the bike coming down ease on the gas until it gets back to where you want it, however if it comes back too fast feather the rear brake, usually the right pedal/lever, it just takes practice

    Please do NOT TRY THIS without full leathers and armour.
    It's easy to mess it up and eveyone does

    thats why i enjoyed doing on a dirt bike (i suggest trying that first if you have any way to, as its almost the same, only if you fall its into grass and dirt not tarmac)

    good man

    Sorry, I've seen too many injuries in the bike community and witnessed first hand too many deaths. I'll ALWAYS bang on about leathers. When you see skin rubbed of a whoel forearm, the bones showing and THEM rubbed flat too you kind of don't forget it

    yeah my skin has been saved by my jacket a few times...from going wide around corners and lost control on the gravel.... i'm saving money to get me a nice leather jacket with hard pads.

    Do you get Heine Gericke gear ?
    Try their approved armour which is actually very flexible. VERY comfortable when warm AND when riding wet adn codl in rain. Nice gear too. Especially for "the larger man" - but I see you're one of those skinny-gits who can fit into furrigan full race leathers - HATE YOU
