learn to wheelie 2011

[drago52]

I would stay start at around 25 mph. Work on just getting the wheel barely off the ground and riding it out. Don't float your valves by hitting your rev limiter. Just practice getting the wheel up a little bit at a time. Warning: you will definitely look like a squid doing it, but thats how to practice.

Don't just cover the rear brake. USE IT. Practice bringing the wheel up and gently hitting the rear brake while keeping on the throttle to bring the wheel down. The rear brake is the only thing that will save your ass during a loopout.

Thanks Brad. Great tips. I know I'm going to look like a squid and I'm ok with that if it means I'm going to learn how to wheelie and improve my control on the bike. Gotta work on your weaknesses if you want to improve.
