Biggest tip which wasn't mentioned here.. is dont look down at your bike.. focus on the road in front of you.. almost at horizon level this will help with balance and long wheelies.

The best part of this has got to be the kids. Showing great reception and fantastic patience! I know I didn't have that kind of patience when I was younger (still don't, if I'm being honest). I'm around 23 years in, with multiple disciplines of biking under my belt, in that time. I do OK with wheelies. I cannot say that I have the ability or confidence to pull my front wheel off and give that a go, nor do I see that in my future. But alas, here I am, watching a "how to wheelie" tutorial - always room for improvement. I do like the practice on a slight uphill and have recommended this to others. There seems to be a push/pull regarding weight, resistance and gravity happening. I need to rewatch, but the pedal position tip was a new one for me, and I think is a super helpful detail. Wheelies are not only fun, but a natural progression, as well as being useful out on the trail to bail you out sometimes. Being able to manipulate the front end of the bike is a diverse skill.

@PorterMTB 8 ай бұрын

Glad you enjoyed the vid! I agree that it's useful many times on trail to get your front wheel up a root or rock. Also, never to late to start trying, they are really fun! Maybe throw on a back protector or backpack just in case you loop out though haha!

I'll try to keep pedaling. Thanks again! Edit: Tell your sons they did absolutely amazing learning this!

When I was a kid I could ride wheelies at will for as long as I wanted. At 62 and on a full suspension MTB, Which 'seems' more difficult than my old banana seat/BMX bikes w/back pedal brake. I'm more concerned about falling these days is the biggest holdback, I think. Thanks for the video! Wheeling is great for developing balance for all riding.
