It is light. 4 strokes are harder to keep up

My Husaberg is like 265lbs 38.1inch seat height and I'm 110lbs and 5'5" lmao

Fred They sold our souls. not light as a feather -.-

How's riding that husaberg at 5'5?

When the timing and technique are working together the bike feels as light as a feather, too. I've working on these enduro skills for a couple of years now and the practice pays off. This kind of riding isn't second nature and must be learned and perfected with repetition.

+Tosh Outdoors Thank your for your comment buddy! Your description of the wheelie is on point! It's surgical when Graham does it!

+killamist666 born to kill

Practice practice practice!!

+MrTwoShot most common problem people come into is the fear of falling off. but you just gotta realize that its gonna happen anyway and it really doesnt hurt too bad unless your doing high speed wheelies then you might be in trouble but yes, it is all PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! Good luck to ya :)

+Khaos Films it's critical that before doing this exercise to develop a rear braking by rewiring/teaching your brain to push on that rear brake when you lift it too high. Falling off on your butt from a tall dirt bike, maybe slightly painful.

I can't nor do I want to do a wheelie. be nice if I could I guess... I'm better on two wheels going fast.

+Mototrip Adventures you are very much welcome, my friend! Enjoy!

You are welcome buddy!

@@PoiskAdv is he in 1st or 2nd gear for these slow wheelies?

INSTRUCTORBMW Yes he can wheelie any bike! Can't say more here, since he is under contract obligations at the moment! ;-)

"any bike can wheelie" what a legend

jauh25 Haha he better try wheelie a pw50 :)

vertti syrjälä I wheelie daughters stock crf50 every time I get on it. It weighs 60 lbs. Pw50 is even lighter. If your body thrust won't bring front tire up then...... you suck at life

lol its true ,its the technique

Thank you Kevin for your positive comment and thank you for watching!

Indeed ;-)

i think he sold his soul for motorcycles

Probably tired of people asking him how to ride lll

He's on tranquilizers

420.

Even the pros still do all their stunts on a 2stroke.

+Fred They sold our souls. cause 2 strokes are lighter than 4's

+Khaos Films but we got the sole back when fuel injected hit the market.

Thank you Ricky!

Thank you buddy for your positive comment!

Thanks for your like of the music ;-) You are an exception! ;-)

@@PoiskAdv I like the music too. it's really funky, I don't get why some people hate it... Can you tell me the name of the track and artist, please ? Thanks for the video, btw !

Hey Thomas, Yes, we love it out there. Mt. Moto has it all! You should come to any of our schools this September 2016 or just sign up for a trail ride if you don't need coaching. For more information, go to poiskadventures.com.

+Poisk Adventures I don't have a dirt bike all I have right now is a three wheeler it's a 1986 Tecate 3 I wish I still had her dirt bike though I definitely come ride

You still can come as a spectator and bring your friends as well. There will be tons of entertainment and Tim Coleman will show some some breathtaking tricks! Contact Travis Jackson of MtMotorcycles.net.

Thanks buddy for your positive comment!

Bill Ness and when you get someone like Graham and watch him in real life how he controls his enduro bike, you will be watching the impossible happen! ;-)

Absolutely! I've watched many of his videos and those he's in from Australia. In my mind I'm learning to ride like he does, in reality, not so much!

Bill Ness That's what I also do! ;-) I also watched him live, recorded and shared with you guys. But as they say in the world of sport: "If you want to be like that athlete, watch him, study him, and practice a lot! Learn his moves, learn his techniques and repeat them!" I do believe in the fact that if you are very passionate about something, such as learning to ride like the King of Hard Enduro, Graham Jarvis, you can definitely go a long way in your development for sure! Now I am downloading all his videos from youtube, then playing it at 1/8th speed to understand his movements, study and try to practice them. It's not easy! ;-) But it is so much fun! Especially when your soul or your hear wants it! This, I believe, is the ultimate adventure of your spiritual growth! ;-) At this time, and understanding that I am an old guy for this sport ;-), I still want to accomplish certain things in my riding hobby for sure! And I will invest my time, my energy and my sweat in doing so! Why? Because I just simply love doing it! ;-)

Bill Ness me watching this video: well that looks easy enough! Tries it** well never mind....

Yes, he does!

+MrTwoShot Very good! Share your videos here as well! Would love to see them!

+Poisk Adventures will do once they're 100% perfected! Can't thank you enough for this video.

+MrTwoShot You are very much welcome my friend! Keep learning the techniques!

+smokehash707 Thank you our friend! We hope you can find our other videos useful as well. ;-)

+Eric Erwin Looking forward to see your videos my friend! Don't forget to post links to your videos here as well! Would love our community to watch them as well!

Poisk, I will post videos but right now in Chicago, IL it it snowing. I didnt want to upset you if I posted my Links on your videos. Thank you for your permission and you are more than welcome to post your links on my channel also. Right now I have a 2013 KX450F that I turned it into a street-legal motorcycle.

+Eric Erwin Thank you for your careful consideration! I don't mind folks posting their videos here if these videos are related. E.g. this video is about slow wheeling and if more visitors share their experiences that will only make us happier here ;-) After all we all share the same passion of riding on 2 wheels! I will check out your channel and look at your bike as well! ;-)

You are very Welcome, and I will subscribe to your channel. I will post the link here when my videos become available. I cant wait for the weather to get nicer here! Riding is sure fun, got to love those 2-Strokes also!

One_Clean_s13, you would not believe how great Husqvarna makes these bikes. Btw I don't even work for motorcycle industry... ;-) But when I tried I was truly impressed with 2 things: - great stock suspension - great stock very smooth power deliver for a 2 stroke!

I've never had the chance to ride one! Ive ridden a kx250 and the powerband really kicks hard around mid to top range. Hard to think of a 2 stroke with a smooth power delivery haha :P

One_Clean _s13 I was among a few lucky ones to ride that bike that Graham rides in all these videos. I still can't believe the bike... You definitely should try one. Just make sure its enduro version.

***** or 007? ;-), I agree that Japanese should not have given up that easily. However they are coming out with amazing 4t bikes these days. Check out YZ250FX or its more traditional trail sister WR250F. We really dig that bike.

+jotacalvo He has been here quite a few times. We had 7 schools with him. ;-) By the way if you are interested we are brining Tim Coleman from Australia, a well known trials and enduro rider. He is going to have 2 schools at Mt. Motorcycles May 2016. Don't miss this opportunity! ;-) poiskadventures.com/freeriding

Aside from his obvious superior skills, I think the gearing is also a factor in torque to lift the front end. Stock on his bike is 13/50 (3.85). My crf300l is 14/40 (2.86). To wheelie mine I have to apply a lot more throttle. I’m going to step up my rear sprocket quite a bit.

Yes, Kenneth! Your comment is right to the point. Gents, please note - Ken's input is quite important to this exercise done right. But pressing on the rear break is a more advanced technique. If you can learn to do it without, doing it later will make you a master of this wheelie. Graham noted rear break, but as more as an advanced move. It's not easy to do it all at once for most riders.

yeah but should we use the front brake to help compress the forks?

Hey buddy! Thanks for your interest in the music we chose. ;-) It is Surprise Me (ft. Mykle Anthony) - here is one version of it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMliqpyIm7O6mKc.html

He is not that bad ;-) lol ;-)

Yes, he does!

nvader88 he is an interesting character for sure. ;-) he is humble and a man of a few words ;-)

Hey nvader88, let's not worry about Graham and how he is in his personal life. Let's enjoy his type of riding, his tips and learn from him as much as possible. Most of us are hobby and weekend riders who just want to improve our riding skills. Though I agree that he has so many years in his career doing nothing else, but riding enduro and trials, this doesn't matter in the greater schema of life. If you are passionate about learning some of his tricks, I am sure you can achieve great results if you put your heart, energy and time into it. Ride safe and seek adventures, buddy!

Stop hating

He is trying to keep it close to the camera to show technique. He can wheelie for eternity if he wanted to

@@hrbestalkinme3690 or at least til he ran out of gas 😂

Hey Jakob, well, ideally you should use both brakes. Graham uses the front as well as the rear brake. But for beginners or people who want to master this technique, it's a bit simpler to use the rear brake first since your hand is not going to be distracted when to pull the front brake or when to pull on the throttle. Try to use the rear brake first. You will notice a big help already in lofting the front wheel up. Then you can advance and use the front brake as well.

Poisk Adventures ok good, I'm definitely more comfortable using both breaks at once. I rode street bikes and your always on both breaks. Only time I use the rear alone is sliding through a down hill corner. Thanks for the fast reply.

Sure thing, buddy! Ride safe and seek adventures!

Thanks for your feedback, buddy! Yes, we are well aware of issues with the sound/music. In our next videos we will keep everything as smooth as possible.

Lonny Handwork I can only comment on this and the other bike. The Husky in the video had factory settings. Graham did not adjust anything on it. I asked him regarding the suspension and he told me he usually never changes anything on it. He says the factory settings on this model - just right. Also Graham did the slow wheelie on another bike as easily as he did it on his Husky. The other bike was a 2014 Honda CRF250L with the stock suspension. We could not record it due to some legal issues, but you can trust us, he did it in the first run and he never rode CRF250L before ;-)

Thanks - that's great help! (I'll stop blaming the bike now! ;) )

Lonny Handwork No problem! Good luck with your training/exercise! Share your videos with us!

pitää koittaa kotatil x3

+Suomalainen Finn! I am sure you found your answer but yes you can use the technique here to loft the front wheel as high as you want on any cc bike.

chrisizzile50 not sure if I can help you here, but maybe any of our subscribers or visitors can share their tips? Thank you!

Jason Smith Well, 1) Graham did a slow wheelie on that CRF250L captured in some of those videos ;-) 2) That CRF250L had 13/48 final gearing, a few things that shaved off weight (FMF exhaust, DRC tail light, etc). I could not do the same thing ;-) Graham told me the key is timing when compression rebounds. I did a short and low one, but never anything close to what GJ does ;-)

Hey Brandon, you need to do it almost at the instinctive level. Depending on the bike and your skills level, you may want to do both at the same. Please, try with little blips first. Don't rush it, take one step at a time. The lighter the bike is the easier this exercise may be to master. Ideally, if you have access to a trials bike, try it on this bike first. Not sure how helpful my reply is. Don't forget about compressing the forks and doing the clutch and throttle on the forks rebound movement. That's the key. It ensures that you don't loose traction and get into a wheelie almost from a standstill.

Poisk Adventures Thank you, you said exactly what I was looking for. I'm working with an rm 250, which isn't the best bike bike to practice on because it stands up so easily with throttle alone, but clutching is definitely the way to go, I realize this!

+Justin Trovrt Hi Justin, thank you for your feedback! This was one of my first attempts to do a set of training videos which originally were designated to be used only for a private purpose ;-) When we release a new set, we will keep all unneeded "entertainment" stuff off and just focus on the core.

I see where i live kids riding on the highway on this dirt bikes riding the wheelie non stop doing 60 miles per hour!!! Right next to the cars!! So theres no way thats first gear so the answer must be yes because they can ride long distances and high speeds on these wheelies

Hey Sam, these are 2 different wheelie techniques. Graham and many other talented riders demonstrated so called "slow wheelie', where you really need to focus on balancing skills vs using the bike's intertia to pull you forward when you do fast wheelies. If you want to learn more technical type of riding, a slow wheelie is one technique of the many. Power wheelies or fast wheelies are significantly easier to master, since the kinetic energy helps you to keep the wheelie up and requires a lot less finesse from the rider. I hope this answer helps you.

Richard, this is a good point you make. The slow wheelie is ten fold harder, because it forces also to use your balancing skills to the max. Finding that sweet spot of balancing is also super critical, as you mention. Power wheelies or wheelies at higher speed are much easier, also because of gyroscopic effect of the rear wheel rotating.

100%. Balance not only required to keep the front wheel from going over the sweet spot, but also keeping your balance from side to side. I use my knees a lot in keeping balance at slow speeds, sometimes even an extended leg. Couldn't agree more with you, slow wheelies definitely more challenging, but so much more satisfying when you learn to ace it. I started with one leg draggiing behind me for balance (left leg, as you want to keep your right foot on the brake lever) and with time, built up enough confidence to pull both my legs up.

Buddy, you didn't have to edit your initial response ;-) On this channel we love honest opinions. ;-)

Hey buddy, it is Surprise Me (ft. Mykle Anthony).

A big sprocket is key. This guys a rookie. I could ride that bike 50 miles straight on the back wheel.

Fred They sold our souls. A rookie. Think u need to check out sum of his videos. Watch the one where he is in the skatepark and then say hes a rookie

He is not using the front brake, his right hand never goes to the front brake. He is using the rear break, look at the slow mo and you can see him hit the rear brake when he squats down, then release the brake when pulling up. That is how he gets the front to compress so much. It took me a minute to see how he was getting that much compression.

stickbeard -correct he uses his rear break! Good observation! Kudos!

Wendy Olorga Wendy thank you for your comment. It's hard to recommend someone a dirt bike in a general sense. It really depends what you want to do with it. And there are a lot of variables/questions that may help you narrow down your search: a) are you going to be riding your bike on the street too? (if yes, you need to consider a dual sport bike) b) are you going to learn only wheelies or plan to do more tricks and learn more advanced techiques (in this case you may need to consider a trials bike since its easier to learn many things on it). c) are planning to use your dirt bike on a trail or a motorcross track? etc.

Poisk Adventures Thanks for your reply. I looked at trial bikes they are pretty pricey. I don't need a dual sport and I'm planning to do learn other tricks like circle wheelies and stoppies. I just need something I can throw around do u think ill be better off with a 150cc pit bike for my goals as it's small and really cheap?

Wendy Olorga You can find a used trials bike around $2K or sometimes even less. Pit bike may work, but it has a shorter wheel base and very low seat height ;-) But I guess anything you can get your hands on - is a good thing. Just ride my friend! ;-) Learn the tricks! Enjoy it!

Thanks I'll look around for a trials bike hehe :-)

Wendy Olorga htuyrrrx :(in gfs flinging folklore lakh: :/

Indeed

Poisk Adventures haha I always get sketched out trying to wheelie standing up for some reason even though I ride mostly standing so I have started learning slow wheelies sitting but it's still something I need to overcome

Practice and only practice makes it happen. Good lucky buddy!

Poisk Adventures thanks!

You are very much welcome, buddy! Ride safe and seek adventures!

It takes a bit of practice, Wizerd. Mainly you hold on to the handlebar with your three fingers on each palm. The pointers are usually are left on clutch and front brake levers. Since the palms are spread like that, it's not easy to whisky-throttle unwanted. Of course, with even more practice you take your finger from the front brake lever, since there is no point of control the front brake once its airborn. :-) However, the most important habit you need to develop is an ability to control your bike positioning and speed using rear brake. You need to slightly feather it once you get the front wheel up to avoid flipping over or going too fast, etc. I hope this helps.

Wm Wallace It's TE 300. But Graham can do it on a bike of any size.

Hey buddy, we don't know much about these settings, but we know for sure Graham or Tim Coleman can slow wheelie any bike. Maybe one of visitors can answer your question here. Graham and Tim they both used stock settings on TE300, CRF250x and other bikes. Never really adjusted the suspension for them.

Poisk Adventures thanks.

Set the compression lower and the rebound higher If you plan to just practice wheelies

pink floyd we've heard you guys, we will make it better during the next batch of video releases.

Hi Tatyi, For this clip and most of our Poisk Adventures we use "Surprise Me (ft. Mykle Anthony)" by Alex Beroza. I hope this helps. Thanks for your question! Poisk Adventures Team

Poisk Adventures Thank you !!!!!!!!! Very big music...!!!!!!!!!!!

+James Ellis yes ;-)

Hey Hudson, yes, it was two-stroke bike. It was 2014 Husqvarna TE300.

+Poisk Adventures how WAS it a 2 stroke? what is it now?

+Khaos Films yes, it a was a 2t bike and Graham still rides a 2t Husky TE300. You can see in his latest vids. I hope you are referring to Graham re:2t bike.

+Khaos Films it sexually identifies as a husaberg now

Jacare1973 It was a stock bike with the factory settings. 13/50 or 3.846 final gear ratio.

Poisk Adventures Here is a link to the bike specs: bikematrix.net/bikes/2014-Husqvarna-TE-300-USA

Poisk Adventures Thank you for the info.

Jacare1973 you are much welcome, buddy! Ride safe and joyfully!

Absolutely! We have new vids coming up where Tim Coleman does slow wheelies on all kinds of bikes ;-) Stay tuned!

+Poisk Adventures thanks ! Guess I gotta just get out there and practice more

Fr3ShPRiNC3 well depends on the sprocket size to, you want to downsize on the front and upsize on the back

+martyisabeliever Wow! That's beautiful!

Poisk Adventures show us how you do it PLEEEEEASE!

+martyisabeliever Well, if you insist. ;-) Just keep in mind that I couldn't do a long non-speedy wheelie at all up to Nov 2015. These are my first little successes. ;-) I will upload more videos with the real slow wheelies very soon when I get a chance to play again and on the soil vs tarmac. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMyIi6akzdSph3U.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLibltNnxMqqpmw.html

Poisk Adventures Thanks Man! You Rock!

+martyisabeliever Thank you buddy for your feedback and watching our videos! Looking forward to see your vids as well! You can post them here as well! I don't mind at all.

Pixel | VOD, actually it should be easier since the bike is lighter. The key point is not the throttle, but it's a combination of several aspects, but mainly catching the right moment when the forks go back after the preload, using a bit of throttle, clutch and your body movement to the back of the bike with simultaneous pull on the handlebar. Graham told me he did his slow wheelie on many different bikes.

Ok, thank you.

Quite possible. Search youtube for Graham Jarvis early videos. In one of them he actually rides a 4t bike and does this wheelie as as easy as on a 2t bike.

Thank you for the reply. There is one more thing, I find it impossible to cover my rear break when I stand on my bike, can the rear brake be lowered somehow?

Pizdzirynka1 I am sure you can adjust it or use a different lever/rear brake pedal. I actually had to bend mine on CRF250L. Now It's easy ;-)

Thanks a lot man :) Will sure use your advice

Pizdzirynka1 Good luck my friend! Would love to see your videos as well when you do it! I still struggle with the slow wheelie.

Luke Wennekers Try it and let us know! ;-)

very hard to do

Luke Wennekers I just did it on a 150cc small bike. Balancing your body and compressing the forks. It worked!

Nice Poisk Adventures​

Ivan, it's a combination of things: fork de-weighting, clutch, a little bit of throttle and body positioning at the right moment. For experienced riders you can also use rear break to help to compress the bike more. I hope this helps.

No your wrong

+giant egg yup he totally is wrong

i tried

I thought the same thing but they're really only 20 or so pounds heavier.

Husky 300TE is about 106kg. My Yamaha WR250F is about 116 kg (road registered, too, so I can ride to the trails) and it is just as easy to get the front up. Technique is important. Note, I can get the front up easy, but no way can I wheelie like Jarvis!
