01 The Wheelie - Explained

[@jacklevin]

By far the best instructional video on how to learn to wheelie I have seen. You guys are really great and I hope you keep it up with these kind of videos. This is the kind of stuff we have been asking for and you answered! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@whosdom.mp3]

one of the most helpful wheelie tutorials ever seen!

[@andrewoverby03]

You guys need more videos like this. Most videos don't explain these techniques this much in depth. It is extremely helpful and instructional for all riders of kinds. It will for sure help! Keep up the good work guys!

[@sjdjjq]

this is much better compared to the older videos. In depth and teaching drills to learn a skill is just what us average riders and riders that are just starting need. This is great KEEP IT UP!! :)

[@8customer]

This was the best video on wheelies I have seen here on KZbin! Great Job!

[@eggbertinkabod1121]

Thank u , idiot

[@tonythephatone]

yes. YES. this is exactly how your tutorial videos should go. EXCELLENT response to viewer feedback! more tutorials like this one please!

[@gabob12]

thanks to Theoffroadfanatic my enduro driving have improved i`m now more efficient/smart when it comes to really hard parts. greetings from venezuela.

[@markmtbrider]

GREAT TIP! I have always been ok at power wheelies, now wanting to ride slower more tech terrain and mastering the 2 footer or goon wheelie is a great help in multiple close logs and the like.thanks

[@drarnauddechamps]

Amazing dudes! you are great, the videos are getting better and better at the didactic and pedagogic point of views. Great riders ! The best tips videos on the web!

[@blablafingbla4422]

Very nice way to start to wheelie, never had it explained this way. Good job guys! Afterwards they had some beers and a braai...lol!

[@rigavaz]

well this was the most awesome explanation on wheelie I ever heared!!! Gonna try Saturday :)

[@91lxstang]

I have never seen this way of learning. Its very good!

[@04enduro]

Yeeeeeeewwwww!!! Well done for actually looking at comments that come through. So many other major video production channels' on KZbin never ever reply no matter how formal and relevant your comment/question maybe. Keep it up!

[@monkeybrains05]

Awesome, I love the step by step. Just what i need Thanks!!!!!

[@johnnyfontenot682]

Thanks for this! Last year my goal was a 50 second wheelie on my 50th birthday. I would have made it if i would have watched this vid!!

[@Dr.CarlosPorter]

Awesome video!!!! I wish someone explained that to me while I was learning to do this! I`m going to go out and practice a lot more now!!!

[@Sgonzalezv]

Thanks to OffroadFanatic, this videos keep getting better and better!!

[@40to60Films]

Would have been great to see a close up of the clutch control. I've read through the comments and it looks like only a couple have reported if it worked. Will be trying it this weekend. Will get back to you about the results. I'm not expecting to get it right away but should get a good sense if it will work for me. Thanks for this can't wait to try it.

[@MegaTagger1]

I learned to wheelie on a 250 rmz and it was awesome doing it the first time!!

[@jwalker5085]

great tutorial...detailed and good camera angles

[@johnnyfontenot682]

Will do Brian! Nothing cooler than being able to pull epic wheelie's.

[@tristanvos5909]

Nice video. But is looks to easy when Brian does it. I tried it just like Brian standing still on my husky TE450. The result is that my fathers lawn is wrecked ;-). I can do a slow wheelie, but I have to have a little speed. But I will practice it on my trial motorcycle and when I master it. I will give it a go on the Husky. Thanks and keep up the good work ;-) Grtz from Belgium

[@ReadyAsHeWillEverBe]

this is 'the best' and really 'the correct' way to learn to wheelie. we can learn doing speed wheelies too, but, when we crash there is a huuuuge difference. crashing slow you get up laughing. crashing fast you wake up in the hospital.

[@jamesiceart]

Works pretty well, tried this technique - it is more tricky however if you are a short arse like me as you can get both feet on the ground when hanging off the back.

[@HeddleTown]

Great video guys nice work.. 😎😄👍🎥

[@raimondotripodo6647]

Bravo campione ,di impennate al punto di eguilibrio ,un vero fenomeno bravissimo

[@AmygdalaSalad]

looks like a great way to learn, definitely going to take it slow and give it a whirl

[@Prinzjulztv]

thanks guys.. better infos on how to wheelie .. amazing... i did it on my xr200...

[@777toiletskaka]

отличное видео!!! спасибо! Best regards from Ukraine

[@cdp2x]

Yes, very good ! Thanks from Brazil.

[@GitoAtom]

I do wheelies on about any bike for as long as i want. I am no pro, but i took the time to reply here because i would never learn it like it´s explained. Full throtlle first gear will cause a lot of damage in you and you bike. Start by dominating the wheelie in a BICYCLE. Controling your balance point with the rear brake. Once you are able to wheelie down hill without pedaling keeping the bike a little after balance with you feet on the pedals, then proceed to motor. Rear brake IS the security!

[@madrobpunk]

great tips, can't wait to try it out!!!!

[@johannb.gumundsson7305]

Fantastic tutorial...

[@MegaGouch]

Its because you have a heavy bike that isn't overly powerful, you will probably need to pre-load the front to get the front wheel up and have you weight quite far back, your have to pop the clutch to do it.

[@dougharlow6037]

once the bikes up do you still use the clutch or just the throttle? I wish you would show the operation of your hands with the bike off sitting on the seat simulating your hands use. Thanks

[@5garlic]

That's one of the best bikes to learn on any 4stroke when you dump the clutch try to click it to 2nd and It'll balance the bike and you just got from there

[@dansdismantling]

great vid,what gear? 1st or 2nd? sprocket stock? obvious these things will have an affect.

[@surgfish]

very informative. I own a HOnda CRF250L, my problem is getting the front wheel up from 2nd gear. It seems to have less of a torque. Any tips?

[@jefgill]

With the 1 foot on the peg/back brake and the other dangling down as a safety approach, should you start off the wheelie with your foot on the brake or lift you foot up right after starting the wheelie?

[@ironslede68]

very nice. lots more usable info in that one

[@snyderdarren]

These videos are fantastic! How do you safely get the front wheel off the ground all while remaining stationary? I'm afraid I'd have a wreck just doing that?

[@lucasfisher3202]

The neck brace is for when the helmet is on it limits neck movement and gives spine protection

[@RockabillyTheMan]

I see! it is mostly about staying on yer back wheel without falling. I can do that... (great video)

[@shakessld]

great video helped lots thanx!

[@lincolnpicillo]

should have gone a bit more in depth about what you do with the clutch and throttle. Such as hold the throttle at a spot and feather the clutch while your up or if you use both at the same time. how much throttle you need to get up and if you just dump the clutch to get up or let it in then give it a lot of gas ect.. all you say is its very difficult... great explanation!

[@nandyg1]

you make it look so easy!

[@danielblanko99]

can anybody tell me which gear is better? first or second gear? thanks, Great video!!

[@millzi88]

What would be the best way of doing it on a 2-stroke ktm? Dealing with the powerband.

[@UKMXS]

Great advice, Thanks!

[@universalmonkey1]

Thanks. Will give this a shot

[@ENDRFNBND]

Thanks very much gentlemen.

[@bobriley000444]

excellent! the South African accent is funny though.. I would like to see these videos if they were Finnish accent speaking english!! I love the way the Finnish talk lol

[@petrolheadsa]

Thanks great video

[@rochesmit9450]

What is the best gear to be in on a 2 stroke...2nd?...I find the bike too resonsive in 1st when trying to stay on balance point

[@RichLaffertyRacing]

Looks like a great time with friends learning to ride dirt bikes safer and faster. I have some free tips here Dirt Bike Training School, Rich Lafferty Riding Schools, LOGS!

[@5garlic]

@readyashewilleverbe that's one of the best bikes to learn on any 4stroke period that's what I learned on pop the clutch in first then switch it to 2nd when yo ugly it high enough.

[@perfectlyawesome]

Cool! Really useful vid.

[@OpenUrEyes9mm]

How much should I be pulling with my arms if at all?

[@Prinzjulztv]

ey yow guys!!!. what gear is best to make wheelie?.. ived got xr200...

[@brendancarter3453]

I learned to wheelie by just goofin around in the pit waiting on busies to go out on the track or trails

[@GitoAtom]

Use your body weight to pull on the handlebars. I almost jump out of my Yamaha DT LC 50 but i can wheelie on it up to sixth gear. You need to be already "sharp" with your rear brake control to do it. You should be able to shift up (and down) while doing it, or it wont be much fun.... easier on my YZ 125 tough :P

[@ReadyAsHeWillEverBe]

i think that maybe my bike is too big. crf450. it goes too fast in first gear and even when i pull the clutch in the bike still gets away from me and i crash. how is brian going so slow? i launch the front wheel at about walking speed. i know for certain that this method is the way to learn. do you think i'd have better luck on a smaller bike?

[@RichLaffertyRacing]

Awesome video, just more explicit on clutch engagement to loft front wheel for beginners would make video even better.

[@ncadvr]

do you own any pants that are full length?

[@christiaangrobler17]

ahahahahahahahah

[@ncadvr]

:) cool videos brother.

[@kidinked7344]

What type of Dirtbike do you have?? and what do you think is a good bike to start off on??

[@MisterRarsclartPest]

That looked like a KTM 125, he said the best bike to learn on would be a small 4 stroke, if you're going to get one try and get a 140 superstomp (the most reliable pitbikes about in my experience) and easy as fuck to lift the front wheel on

[@stefane458]

Guerrilla Pest no that one looks like a ktm 250 sx

[@stefane458]

sure

[@ReadyAsHeWillEverBe]

good advice, thank you

[@BonnyJonny13]

sweet video guys!

[@d4ljosh859]

Never heard it explain this way gone give it a try

[@ALiENHc96]

please, what music is at 5.20?

[@DukeJimmyJones]

you are a boss thank you sooo much

[@MrRubixBunny]

are you telling me I could leran to wheelie like this on my yamaha ttr230?

[@Robbirogue]

Is that a 250 cc or a 125cc ?

[@williamdenham6478]

what psi should I have in my tyres I Ride a ktm 150 sx and I am 56.6 kilogram

[@Ramoa111]

What if you have a heavy ass bike? I've a 650

[@tonatiuh587tonaducati]

perfecto

[@justinking2560]

I'm gonna go out and try it

[@mitchell7883]

well, i'll try it on my KX125J. But i think i am falling down..

[@alexiscardona1634]

Who is this guy? Great vid btw

[@MRIFAILATCOD]

so happy when he said to practice on a 4 stoke 230... fuck yeah i got a ttr 230

[@khaOsnsc]

Now that you watched it, do a 51 second wheelie this year!

[@noykadosh675]

ain't your carburetor leaks like crazy??

[@sonnywilson1758]

how long could u stay in tha water

[@khaOsnsc]

I don't get where you saw "Brian" since my name is André but i guess that's not the point. Wheelies are cool but they're also way cooler when you're 51!

[@yoshyoka]

My bike is quite high and I'm only 5foot7: there is no way that by dangling my feet that way they can touch the ground at balance point...

[@ikhouvankoekjes123]

same here

[@stefane458]

take the seat of then :)

[@yoshyoka]

I did... and allmost broke my balls at the first landing :D

[@stefane458]

hahahahahha

[@SirBoostAl0t]

manlets lol

[@Adilson-sousa]

show ! Facilidade de explicar

[@therealzefto]

Are they Scottish or Irish ? English subtitles please.

[@MrFlippyFlops]

Australian

[@markvanderveldt]

These guys are Springbokken (from south africa)

[@bryantdemota8867]

Pretty good

[@joseludt]

Ridding a ktm and the other man with a yamaha t shirt xD

[@MM-zt4oe]

I slide off the seat all the time when i try to let me feet hang

[@sledrideing114]

Same I'm 12 on ttr 110 4- stroke

[@MM-zt4oe]

Yea i got trr 90 4 stroke bout to get a 125 though

[@garythurmond8643]

+S T A Y x S A V A G E™ (SSG) I'm 13 and ride a yz450 have fun with your new bikes

[@antman8646]

my bikes impossible to wheelie i have a 1980 yamaha dt250 it weighs 287lbs its really hard to lift maybe it could be i only weigh 180lbs. would weighing more for me make it wheelie

[@jakesemtex]

It will come up, add about 5 or 6 teeth on the back sprocket to make it easier. I started on the '78 DT250MX, and ended up with very successful career on the back wheel.....

[@OldSchoolGarageOSG]

This is perfekt !!! :o)

[@bobriley000444]

ive tried this countless times.. still cant get it. i can wheelie standing up through all gears for quite a while but controlling slow speed wheelies sitting down it fucking near impossible. i think my gearing is too high though.. 400exc with 15.48

[@EpicSocksProductions]

Yes i have a 2011 suzki just chillen in my garage it should be a perfect height i can barly touch the ground on my 250 rmz

[@tyleralexander5555]

I need to buy riding boots, instead of regular work boots, the rubber on the bottom wears off on the pavement. lol

[@YoRtXx]

300

[@TheSeth1981]

never seen this technique for learning wheelies. learning on a smaller bike is the way to go. i dont think he emphasized how important rear brake control is. to me that is just as important or more then throttle control when learning to wheelie. IF YOU GET BORED, CHECK OUT MY VIDEOS

[@fatiaomao]

Damn it. Should watch this earlier.

[@Carado4x4]

Je vais essayer !!

[@u1es]

NOT ON THE STREETS.

[@abrdun]

...up and down the street.. don't do it on the street :D
