ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE
Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but until this year she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon's teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.

This is one of the top wheelie tutorials on KZfaq and, as an extremely poor wheelie student, I'm painfully familiar with all the other videos out there. I've got a couple of extra suggestions which you might want to consider if you do any updated versions in future: 1. Steering the wheelie. Most of the other KZfaq tutorials will say things like 'steer with your knees' or 'turn the bars.' This probably makes sense to someone who's already learned how to do it, but it doesn't actually work for anyone else. There's a lot of nuance to how steering works but the fundamental movement (from a straight armed, upright wheelie position) is pushing one bar grip away from you and pulling the other towards you. However, to do this, your hips/butt and your knees must also allow the bike to move and you may need to use force through either foot on the pedal to help swivel the whole bike around. Once you've 'internalised' this movement so it's automatic, you probably won't realise that you're doing it, hence the poor description you get on most KZfaq tutorials. 2. Popping the wheelie up straight. The guidance in this video is about as good as it gets, however there is one other way of doing it which I find much easier: simply don't bother with the chest compression and pushing back. Instead, start already leaning back with your arms straight, back arched and chin up, and drive strongly/smoothly with your leg. This should easily be enough to get you up to the balance point, and by starting with your upper body in a solid, balanced, upright position, it's much less likely to result in you immediately veering off left or right. I really love the idea of trying to fit in as many brake taps as you can on each attempt - I'll definitely be practicing that later to try and improve my feathering. And thanks to the last 'cracking' the code' video on manuals, I've been able to consistently get my front wheel right up no problem, even though I've only just started learning. So thanks for these tutorials - they're brilliant.

When I was a kid I learned to wheelie on an old Schwinn ( however tf you spell ) that only had a coaster brake. My buddies and I could ride a wheelie literally for miles. Years later the same bunch of us wheelied all the way over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on the way to Ocean City, on our motorcycles. That bridge is 4 miles long and in the middle it has like a grate that you can see down to the water waaaaay down to the water. Sketchy for sure.

been practicing my wheelies non stop for the last year or so and this is by far the best tutorial! I can get decent wheelies for a good length and find the balance point but always fall to the left or right and thats what keeps me from doing wheelies as long as I want. I really like the tip about not pulling with your arms to one side or another and hanging off your bars! hopefully I can master that and figure out how to ride the wheelie as long as I want! thanks so much!

I saw all of the wheelie tutorials on KZfaq. This one covers almost all problems when learning how to wheelie. After a while of practicing I noticed one major thing: try to really sit down and focus on 'sitting' and not on holding the front with your arms. It helped to do so when I thought: "A wheelie is doable with only one arm or even without arms - so the arms aren't doing anything, they are not that important after the front is in the air"

@Fluidride Жыл бұрын

this is awesome! And great point with the arms

@zomambik 2 жыл бұрын

Another great tutorial from one the absolute best mtb channels! ( Your series about jumping is pure gold ). The one tip you give here that really helped me is about hand grip. Very light, only the fingers in contact with the grips. As if hanging loosely off the handlebar. This communicates to my brain to shift input away from my upper body and towards my hips. But what none of the tutorials on wheelies I've seen mention, including this one, is not to coast into a wheelie. ( Maybe it seemed too obvious to mention ). Instead, pedal into it with constant, light pressure on the chain. This prevents the randomness of rear hub engagement. When coasting into a wheelie, the point at which the hub bites when you crank down will vary, making you loop out or not get enough front lift in a quite unpredictable way. You mention scrubbing speed with the front brake, which eventually led me to this idea. This simple change has given me the biggest progression in learning wheelies. Of course all the other stuff, like: extended loose arms, looking ahead, sitting heavy on the saddle, are essential too. It's just the loaded chain approach was the missing bit and got rid of the infuriating randomness during the lift.

I really enjoy your videos. You go into a level of detail and nuance that others don't. The foot position for starting the rotation and how the hands feel hanging are small things with big impact. In your manual video the part about the upper body bending forward working against you was a light bulb for me. I'd love to see your crack the code if the bunny hop Simon and you worked on few months ago.

So well explained and just like with your manuals one, you helped me identify a big common problem which I wasn't aware of and that is nb 5: I really hadn't realized you shouldn't compress the fork into the ground and I have been doing exactly that (thinking it was helping)... Thanks, I will go and practice again with that in mind :) It is also sooo refreshing to hear it took you 5 months, all videos make you feel you're the slowest learner ;)

I like the video. I already knew how to wheelie but it was interesting to watch, but i like it more to start in a middle to high gear. I have to get of the seat to get to the balance point but its way easier to hold the wheelie. So for the ones learning how to wheelie, try al gears and see what you like. If you struggle to hold the wheelie go up a gear or 2. I found out it doesnt bother to get of the seat. as long as you sit back down after reaching the balance point.

It is very detail oriented, and has a small trick or tip to help you bring your wheelies to the next level, no matter where you’re at in the progression. I’ve been at it for a few months, and am very inconsistent with my ability to wheelie, but now I have some clear things to practice to get past my plateau. Thanks!

@MTBishop 8 ай бұрын

@@davidmt23 I finally learned it after I decided to have an every day practice. The hardest part for me was pushing through the frustration. I’d say that one of the most important parts of the wheelie is staying as relaxed as you can. When you’re relaxed you’re not over doing any aspects of balancing the wheelie. In addition to that, I’d say keeping a good posture: head up/arms straight is a big one. Also, the correct saddle height and gear makes a noticeable difference.

@MTBishop Cheers, time on the bike is definitely the key I think, I'm managing 15 or so pedals at the mo before it turns into a speed wheelie!

Been wheelie-ing for a while now what u said about ‘anchoring’ ur weight once balance point is reached is something i never thought of before, and it’s true !

took me years to get good at wheelies (realistically 300 hours of just wheelie practice)...but you will be a beginner at wheelies for a long time, definitely a few weeks, probably a few months...this is where you can pop up a lot and get a few pedals in, probably not using your brake, and not really controlling your speed within your wheelie, every 1 out of 30 or 50 times...you get almost 100 ft or a little more, but you might be stuck at this stage for a while...I was stuck at this stage for a very long time, because I would be very inconsistent with practice, and I would get away from the bike for years at a time...a couple years ago I got a modern MTB full sus, and was dedicated to progressing all my mtb skills, including wheelies and manuals, I was very consistent for about a full year, and then I finally broke through from a beginner to intermediate wheelie skill...that happened last spring, about 9 months ago, i went from beginner (as described earlier) to intermediate in what seemed like over night, but ....where all of a sudden I could get a 100ft wheelie 7 out of 10 times, every session using my brake and keeping the wheel up, not just falling momentum wheelies, but finally controlling the speed within my wheelie.... from there my progression sky rocketed quickly, and within another few months i was wheeling super long, at will, going super fast, downhill, uphill, coaster wheelies, and going slow...recently within the past couple months, I got really good at wheelies on narrow sidewalks, longer single track wheelies, and now Im working on swerves and sharper turns in my wheelies...being able to wheelie effortlessly is like floating on magic carpet...do whatever you can to get nice at wheelies yall, its more than worth it...i recently turned 38, and I say that i learned how to wheelie at 37,.... i didnt consider being able to wheelie as a beginner because, if you cant control your speed within a wheelie slow down and speed up, and get about 100 ft almost every time, then you aint really doing wheelies...not hating if this is where you at, just trying to motivate to get past that point, because I know its possible...never give up, never too late

The most important thing to note in this video is her crank arms- polished!! Which means she rides ALL THE TIME It doesn’t matter how many tutorials you watch if your just not practicing, but if you are gonna watch tutorials why not one with a smokin hot instructor 😍

Great video, the whole wheelie technique is very useful. The place you filmed the video is also a beautiful place. It reminds me of some small town plazas in Mexico.
