Janson Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 learned wheelies on xc bike a few years back, used to go for miles.. can't go that far anymore though, it's not as fun..learned manuals on the monty 219 i had, then over to the crescent and now coust. can go for ages if i get it right in th beginning, now without any fingers on the brakes either..

rich4130 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Can manual pretty much as long as I want, although Im abit out of practise, can't do them out of drops over more than a couple of feet though. Can wheelie long enough for taps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Clark Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I can't do either, I really need to learn.I seem to have problems with fully throwing my wieght back, any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I can't do either, I really need to learn.I seem to have problems with fully throwing my wieght back, any tips?learn down hill. hold it in a manual on the back brake to begin with, then as you get better youll begin to find the balance point better and you can use the back brake less n less. Then learn to steer and pop in some hops... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 i have the same trouble as dan cant find the balance point.if i got too far back i press the brake slightly and its just too sharp, saying that im no bettter at them on my jumps bike with a disc .

skandy32 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 both On everybike.... but i cant manual the roadie he heNothing mentioned about 'coasters' though! i can do that too - not on the trials bike though, DH or xc bike with a higher saddle, like a manual - but sitting down! have to do it on a hill ideally! As many people have suggested... the easiest way to learn to wheelie is on a xc bike - as your centre of gravity is higher - and therefore easier to whip the front up! Then just practise and experience gets you doing it on other bikes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
