A Wheelie Bad Series Episode 1: Everyone starts somewhere

I plan on making this video into a series showing my progression with wheelies over time. How long will it take me to become an elite wheelie master? Only time will tell

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

“My life flashes before my eyes every time I do that” 😂

[@TwoStrokeJ]

It is super scary at first haha, luckily I got the hang of it

[@PotentialAutist42069]

I felt that...

[@charliepincott4078]

Same. When I fender scrape I fall of 😂

[@Mikesmith-ip1yh]

Love your brutal honesty ! People need to drop the ego in life more . Great vids

[@Marrk_23]

Since i am learning to do a wheelie, i can relate to so many things you say hahahah, it gives me confindence knowing we have the same struggle. Maybe a tip if someone is watching and is learning wheelies, wear protected clothes, that helped me alot becoming less scared. Great vid!

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Mark_ I totally agree. Wearing pads a gear gives you much more confidence, it actually helps a lot

[@michaelfletcher9705]

Same except I don’t have a stunt lot ☹️

[@ybarsabal]

I appreciate the early wheelie video. I'm about at this point right now and I re-watch this specific video for inspiration.

[@edipeace3199]

Watching this and then watching your latest videos is pretty dope

[@MinecraftBuilder381]

Bro I love your videos man, they motivate me so much for wheeling. I’ve been making a lot of progress and I want to thank you for making these videos!

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Thank you jon! Glad I could help motivate you! Now go practice and keep killing it my guy, good luck!!!

[@havocbikelife7509]

Yeo j your gonna be proud of me I learned how to knee knock lol bro like man I remember when I could barely even get my wheel up and I used to say some day I’ll be able to wheelie band nowwwww omg I’m mastering everything in a matter of two months

[@khgriffi]

That was hilarious. I thought you were going to catch back up to it too! Lol

[@lifelessmetal7195]

I'm trying to wheelie my dirt bike got a cr 125 your videos are awesome thank you, glad to see I'm not the only one that sees my life flash before my eyes when that wheel comes up XD

[@TwoStrokeJ]

It’s scary at first bro! Especially on a two stroke!

[@tameywood2105]

Haha this was great! Looking at buying a bike right now, once I do I'll come back to these videos. Thanks!

[@76tigga]

Damn, I see your progress in the wheelie game. What strikes out the most is your confidence level when at balance point compared to this video. I'm going thru the same process, trying to get the front wheel up higher and being more comfortable at balance point. It is a scary feeling if one is not used to getting the front wheel that high. Feels like the bike will loop but I can say that the use of my back brake is much more ever since I started learning wheelies. I am much more in tune with the amount of pressure I apply the rear brake now. I almost use the back brake more when street riding too. You videos are a good inspiration for noobz about there getting started in the wheelie game. Keep it up.

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Glad to hear bro! Keep working!

[@gonewronggarage4565]

Yeah I had the same thing happen I was like damn that was a huge wheelie then I looked at my camera and it was the most pip squeak shit ever lol

[@TwoStrokeJ]

feels wild when you are first learning haha

[@7milebud862]

Me too😂

[@gonewronggarage4565]

7mile Bud 😂😂

[@gonewronggarage4565]

7mile Bud I’ve gotten way better but when I first tried 2nd ok my xr80 I gave it to much and I slid off the back going like 20mph and I held on with my feet dragging and let go and feel forward and almost broke my hands and my exhaust got all scuffed up🙁

[@7milebud862]

I tore my silencer off lol and had to order new plastics. Kept getting scared instead of staying on the back brake

[@misaelpr2352]

Damn i want a dirt bike but the process of wheelie like a pro is long as hell hahahaa

[@TwoStrokeJ]

ThePlugger takes dedication bro that’s all

[@stinky_pinky8141]

ThePlugger it took me 2 or 3 months to get it all the way down

[@antlive8609]

Hey man wrote you before on another video. I bought a bike to learn to wheelie because of your vids bro. Like I’ve said I’ve been riding for 7-8 years but never learn the brake. Now that you know and went threw the process, wht is or are a good tip to really getting it down. It’s so satisfying to see your progression here on KZbin knowing that I want to do the same exact thing much props bro keep it up and I would love to hear a response from you brother..

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Antlive860 most important thing I’ve learned is it takes a lot longer than you think to learn. You gotta be dedicated to it and practice a lot. SEAT TIME is the best tip

[@Octavio516]

Im getting the same bike year n everything tomorrow!!i used to have a yz125 but worked a lot n didnt rlly ride it. Im going to practice on this one.

[@ycazeh]

How’s it bro

[@KincadePavich]

You may have already learned this in the past year, but you can just loosen and rotate the carb to access the needle and jets.

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Yea bro the last thing I am is a mechanic hahaha

[@xpeanut1342]

Bruh i cant even bring the bike up the back wheel just spins out

[@miguellamelas]

Bro I’m about to learn how to do wheelies and i will use all your tips, if I can handle it I will send you a trophy! 🏆 thanks for the videos!! Cheers from Portugal!

[@TwoStrokeJ]

good luck my guy! Stay safe!

[@lolPaperclip]

I was looking at Groms. Dope bikes

[@TwoStrokeJ]

lolPaperclip hell yea. I think some day I’m going to have to own one

[@lolPaperclip]

@@TwoStrokeJ you can put some dual sport wheels on them too.. it could be fun! I live in BC Canada, so nothing but mountains and trails where I am from. Maybe you will see a motovlog out of me one of these days

[@TwoStrokeJ]

@@lolPaperclip BC? Damn! You should deffinitely record up there the videos would be insane

[@jonacr]

I want to do a 1 handed wheelie so bad. One day!

[@STIZEN9]

2SJ- Your bigtime inspiration for a 45 year old learning how to wheelie on a 2008 yz450! Im scared to loop back but I think I just need to do it to conquer that fear. But I was just wondering, are you hauling that 125 on the top of your wagon, or laying it down inside??? Or maybe you have a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier that I did not see??

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Glad I could help inspire you man! And no, I had a hitch bike hauler on the back of the wagon. So I can strap the bike down sideways behind it, it’s super convenient actually

[@havocbikelife7509]

I couldn’t one hand and wheelie now I could I couldn’t knee knock now I could I couldn’t swerve and now I could this just like wow you can really accomplish everything you want in life you just gotta put your mind to it and surround yourself around people who are like minded

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Exactly bro! Glad it’s all coming together for you! Keep at it and you will continue to improve!

[@havocbikelife7509]

@@TwoStrokeJ LOL OHH SHITT YOU ANSWERED WASSUP BROOO Yeo j man thanks bro you mad inspiring

[@ukmotobrothers7200]

Love your progress over time my issues just getting it up to balance point using clutch find it easier with no clutch but can’t find the brake point but on an lt80 I can kill it😂

[@djordjetosic4553]

"Higher! Be a man!... OOOOHH..." yea, that's clutch up wheelies practice alrigth

[@TwoStrokeJ]

hahah the struggle!

[@outon2s]

Good stuff man!

[@kKilo-uy6kf]

Do you wheelie in the powerband or before ?

[@coreycouch4942]

Dayton ohio ! Here bro Im learning on a streetbike now a ZX900

[@SaraiGarage]

Damn Boi

[@702clapped7]

Lmao my bike leaks the oil onto the swing arm too 0:55

[@TwoStrokeJ]

its the worst

[@battledust9546]

Just wondering, did the pilot jet help? My dads bike is doing the same thing, just wondering

[@angusbrady6445]

Keep your foot over the back brake all times

[@tegteg798]

Had same problem on my cr250 replaced the rear main seal and fixed it all

[@TwoStrokeJ]

hmmm interesting thanks

[@kevmc209]

I watch a video from a year ago and thought... "thats about where i am😎".... then i saw this video and was like " yea thats definitely me"

[@benp9815]

Does a wheelie and crashes bike, starts right up. Kickstand breaks, drives bike home in a truck.

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Ben Puls those were the days before I gained a thing called knowledge

[@dariusspates4938]

Any advice on how to ensure I don’t wreck my bike learning to wheelie? I know I’m go down, along with the bike while learning but I don’t wanna mess the bike up in the process

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Best bet is to get crash protection. Axle sliders, bar ends, etc. stuff that will hit the ground first to protect the plastics

[@dariusspates4938]

@@TwoStrokeJ thanks bro

[@charlietaylor4477]

I've been watching your videos on how to wheelie I also have a 2-stroke 250 KTM was just wondering how long it took you to learn and how long did you train for each day and what should be my first move by the looks of things I think I should be learning the back brake

[@TwoStrokeJ]

100% the rear brake is the most important thing. Its what gives you confidence and allows you to wheelie past the balance point. I rode like twice a week. As soon as I got tired or felt like I was loosing it I would stop

[@charlietaylor4477]

I can get the front wheel off the ground but I'm having trouble keeping it up is that because of the back brake or my confidence

[@daxxbender6568]

Is it me or is it easier to pop it up on concrete than grass

[@savage_e8020]

Better traction that's why most ppl do practice in lots I'm feeling the same way going to a parking lot tm morning

[@radoslavvasilev7204]

Maybe i missed something but what's the tube going to the gas tank

[@sdurden9829]

Have you repacked your silencer?

[@TwoStrokeJ]

yep a couple times

[@ianlaughlin85]

I wish I was a cat and always landed on my feet.

[@aleahbennn1309]

How tall are u on that bike and is it a big wheel ?

[@TwoStrokeJ]

I’m 5’10” the bike is a full size 125. They don’t make big wheels. I fit on it fine

[@rideordiegoonies3471]

Bro im pretty sure all that oil is from mixing your fuel to rich..I mix my fuel at 40ml:1L and also your silencer/muffler probably needs to be re packed :)

[@TwoStrokeJ]

I mix around 40:1 also. Probably a bit more lean actually. And I repacked the muffler a while ago in one of my videos, it made a bit of a difference but didnt solve the issue

[@rideordiegoonies3471]

@@TwoStrokeJ another thing that can cause excessive oil leaking in not riding the bike in power ban enough, you need to get your exaughts temps up to help burn the oil haha but it's not uncommon for 2 strokes to Leake oil that's just what they do :P sick videos either way man! Keep it up, should check out my page I just started making videos :)

Trying to wheelie kx112 not going good is really suck

[@TwoStrokeJ]

those bikes have power so its hard, but stick with it!

[@2man2live]

Same..I than fell so many times lol, had the bike for 8 months and it look like I had it for 3 years lmao

[@telefunkenyou47]

The sun doesn't look like its 97 million miles away, does it? Practice on a lawn, like at a school. Just don't loop it when they come out running after you.

[@TwoStrokeJ]

I like the lot because no matter what we had permission and I didn't have to worry about anything other than the wheelies. That way I could focus

[@telefunkenyou47]

A wheelie dismount, rundown and hop back on in the making.👍🏽 Ever seen comedian Russel Peters? "Be a man"

[@Chaoswrld14]

Bro i on my mom youtube but thx for helping me how to pop wheelie

[@prankmaster8929]

Don’t be getting to cocky the first thing u should be doing is learning how to ride and get more experience before u start wheeling’ my buddy cut open his leg the other day falling and the dirtbike laying on him thier was chunks of tissue falling out of his leg’ don’t forget the cocky part tho, one of these days that helmet isn’t gonna cut it anymore

[@TwoStrokeJ]

I wasn't being cocky I was learning. Its not like I didnt know how to use a clutch, I just started learning to wheelie early in my riding career and it worked out

[@prankmaster8929]

Two Stroke J Ik I’m just saying don’t that’s how people get hurt

[@prankmaster8929]

Two Stroke J yea and u got lucky to I don’t know to many people who learned to wheelie that early on 😂

[@illhaveanother4365]

How about quit chopping the throttle so damn much

[@TwoStrokeJ]

its a 2 stroke it works a bit different than a 4 stroke
