Three proven techniques to get your front wheel off the ground in a controlled manner, a crucial riding technique, not just for showing off. There's 17 more episodes just like this to get you riding at your best. / Available HERE : www.saynotoslow.nz
In Episode 18 we'll cover three different ways to wheelie.
1. Seated wheelie: practicing control, safe, and great for beginners learning to wheelie.
2. Clutch pop wheelie: great for learning to get the front wheel up, maximum control. Excellent for riding in the bush, hard enduro techniques, and obstacles.
3. The really fun one: standing up low speed wheelie - big, high, low speed, great for balance, holding the front wheel up a long time (great fun for showing off to be honest!) It's also a really good clutch control, general practice exercise and can really benefit your hill climbing. Give it a go!

@@sgt.nickel The two that ended with crashing were on my OSSA Pioneer and no damage, but, so funny, at a stoplight on my Triumph Bonneville, the front wheel went straight up and the taillight lens got ground down on the pavement. I didn't let go and was able to land my stomach on the seat with both my feet dragging on the ground. So funny when I look back and remember..

I've been to several riding schools including a trials riding school. And I always struggled to load the suspension before lifting the front wheel for obstacles. But Chris is the first guy to actually clearly tell and demonstrate that one must only use your legs and not your arms. No wonder I struggled to do it. I always pushed on the bars..And let me tell you it is tiring. Can't wait to try it again but only using my legs. Thanks Chris.👍

I'm 58 and I do remember when the bike has plenty of power , I had an easier time with doing wheelies. Some bikes I rode over the years came up without me trying. I always liked those bikes and I remembered those bikes. I remember when I was in Highschool a friend of mine used to wheelie his sportster around the highschool and I was amazed on how he made it look easy.

Plus using small steps to then add them together for the entire process. Beautiful my friend. I feel far more confident that I could do wheelies if I follow these drills.

Thank you Chris. Need to practice this. I just bought my first ever 2-stroke (2015 KTM 200XCW) a couple of days ago and went riding with the boyz today. I’m so used to only using the throttle on 4-strokes (because of the instant torque) and found out quickly that same technique just won’t work. I kept trying to fast-wheelie over obstacles on the trail but all I got was wheel spin. Now that I watch your video I think my timing was wrong. Instead of giving power at the bottom of the compression to maximize grip, I was giving power half way back up the rebound, which I’m guessing created the wheel spin from the lack of load on the rear tire. Will practice more.

Absolutely the best 'how to wheelie' video. As a "newbie" to wheelying I want to emphasize Chris' point about keeping you finger(s) on the clutch. If you are new, when the wheel pops up it's scary at first and you'll instictively squeeze the grips. But if your finger(s) are on the clutch, then you will also press the clutch in and cut the power to the motor and your front wheel will come down. Chris makes this point in the video but I want to emphasize it because it gave me confidence that I could lift the front wheel without looping the bike. Once I had this confidence, it became less scary and started to enjoy popping up the front tire at slow speeds in a controlled manner. This opened up a new level of enjoyment in riding trails. But it takes A LOT of practice. Thank you Chris!

Superb work, Chris! I do like to play with the more technical side of riding, here in highly urbanised England (maybe not entirely true, but every piece of countryside has some sort of restrictions) there are few places to practice freely, although I do have a place where I have not been hassled so far. This adds to the nervousness I find, however, some days I have been able to find the balance point momentarily and yet other days I have felt afraid to commit and just wheel spinned across the field! This video really breaks down the nuances of each technique and provides insight into why that is happening, sometimes, I am more afraid of the bike than other days, it seems! And it is those days where I am feeling more afraid that I don't commit to the technique and thus don't generate the rebound from the suspension. It is the same with wheelies on my mtb, it's all about committing to the body movement to work with the bike rather than fight against it, but a fire breathing dirt bike is more intimidating than a 1 human powered bicycle! Great video!

I am by no means a wheelie official here, but whenever I pop a wheelie on my 125 4 stroke, I mainly use the compression and rebound of the front suspension do most of my work rather than clutch. Maybe that's why I don't have quick or good wheelies. Awesome tips though. What a dude
