Chicky Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Just wondering what the people out there can do, personally i've always found wheelies challenging and have simply never bothered with them, i can pedal kick for as far as a want but can only wheelie about 5ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I didn't think I could wheelie, then I just gave it a go and I could. Huzzah! No, seriously, ask Mat Hudson about my comedy wheelies. He laps that shit up.They're really not hard to do though. Stand up, lean back, pedal. Simple. If you're used to backhopping, there's virtually no reason you can't do wheelies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I could wheelie before I could pedal-kick, but I used to do a lot of street riding and dirt jumping before i did trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I don't fully understand this topic, when you mean pedal kick, are you talking about just one? or a wheelie comprising of multiple pedal kicks? Meh I can do both lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I just went straight into trials frame when i started riding properly,so i just ignored wheelies to concentrate on trials. I can do a bit of a wheelie standing up but not having a seat ruins it when sitting down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Can do a wheelie as long as my hands don't go numb but I've been trying to manual for 3 years now and still can't do more than a few meters without applying the brake.

nafan Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Wheelies are gay but wheelies from rear wheel hopping are class Proper party trick, especially if you can stop and start hopping again Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Wheelies are easy on a trials bike, you just have to stand up. I prefer manuals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
