Your leaning to the side just don't think about balancing side to side and your body will automatically balance.
@FerrellMcCollough5 жыл бұрын
I've been doing wheelies for 50 years, just turned 60. Here's some additional pointers if you feel you need them: Practice on a slight uphill incline - your first wheelies will be peddle wheelies - add pressure and lessen pressure while cranking. Avoid practicing in the wind, but if you must, then wheelie directly into the wind and/or downwind. An angle to the wind requires you to "turn" into the wind and it takes more skill, it will discourage you. Seat height should be as low as you can comfortably crank with power. The higher the seat the more skill required but it's easier to peddle, trade off. Gear should be as high as you can comfortably crank into a wheelie. Excessively low gears will torque the bike too much, the twist will throw you into a turn even before the wheel is high enough, keep the gear high enough so that one crank will bring the wheel up and over. Remember to use the FULL pedal crank from the top to the bottom to lift the wheel. Left and Right control is done with your knees. If you're falling to the left or right then you're not using your knees early enough to correct the lean. If you are below the balance point then peddling is required, if you are over the balance point then you use the rear brake. There is one exact point that IS the balance point, you will almost always be under or over it. Once you learn "the save" with your rear brake (front wheel slams down) start learning the art of gently feathering the brake. Learn feathering by riding on two wheels and slow the bike with a finger on the rear brake, feel the pressure on your finger and how much grip is needed. Downhill wheelies require good brake skills or ride a manual - balance with hips and knees. Thanks for a great video.

Ever driven a manual car? It's like feathering the clutch. Not full on engagment, but a sensory "feel" of whether or not you're on the pedal (or in this case brake lever) just the right amount. I presume having really good brakes makes this quite a bit easier.

One thing that I would like to add: If you can't get your front wheel high enough and you're struggling to find the balance point do this -> Instead of trying to pull the bars just right to get to the balancing point I suggest that in the beginning you actually try to overshoot that point by pulling the bar real hard (also you need to pedal hard and continue pedaling). Just be ready to plant your feet when you do come of the bike. By doing that a couple of times you will realize that leaning too much backwards isn't that bad (if you're going slow) and you will find the balancing point more easily.

Something I’ve stressed to folks I’ve coached is the importance of Practice. I think it would behoove you to give a sense of scale to your viewers, because that’s what I’ve found to be the biggest misunderstanding about mastering a new skill. I would estimate the average person needs about 20hours of practice to feel comfortable with their balance point and body movements. That’s 20 hours of actual popping, feathering, shifting, etc. If you break that into your recommended 15 minute daily ride, perhaps 3-4 minutes of which is actually useful balance point sensation... Be realistic folks. You won’t master a wheelie like this in 2 weeks of afternoon rides. And you DEFINITELY won’t master the Balance point if you’re not the dweeb in the back of the group ride that tries popping it up on every flat and manuals every dip. That’s what it takes. Plain and simple. Good luck!

I had the same problem; its partially subconscious fear so try this: raise your seat height. After that try and make your bike loop from an extremely low speed with 1 foot off the pedals to step off once it loops. This will make you understand the mechanics of the wheelie. Then try and make yourself loop with both feet on the pedals, you'll find that you naturally jump off as a reflex without thinking about it when you lean to far back. Do this until you are comfortable with looping and dont get that fear in your stomach.

Shred For Life seat needs to be in the middle not to high not to low
@wolffrags98566 жыл бұрын
Pedaling too low makes it awkward... I can pop the wheel up without even standing up if my saddle is high.

I ride a bike with brakes that don’t work. A good way to find your balance point is to go so far back that when you feel yourself falling, just step off the back of your bike. This may also help you conquer your fear of popping your front wheel up high enough.

Number 1 reason people can't wheelie is FEAR. So, here I am, 68 years old, riding my bike daily for years, but have never done a wheelie in my life. Am I OK with this. Well NO! But when your past 30 years old, things just don't heal as fast when they break. I must say now that I love to bike (Oregon) and when I travel regularly to a place, I bike. I even own a bike in Thailand and will ride it again in February 2020. I can hardly wait. I don't have a great regret about not doing wheelies, but I will say this. Just Do It!!!! That is the key. There are all sorts of things that I have done and will continue to do because I just throw myself into it. So, while you are young, flexible, and healable - Do a Wheelie!!! :) LOL

@bruh66314 жыл бұрын
How I think of it makes it much easier. So first, you wanna go at a slow, controllable speed. After that, pull up on your handlebar and try to lean a little back, and a half a second after you do that, you push down on the pedal. Which ever foot is your dominant foot determines on which pedal should be up. Edit: Either stand up on your bike, or raise the seat high.

I looked at your videos and it took about about a month maybe to actually get everything down and be able to wheelie for second and understand brake control and bike control but your tips really helped im coming up on a year and can wheelie without my front tire and go on for blocks. My biggest tip is practice going uphill, try keeping your handlebars and knees straight (when starting out lil movement makes you go sideways) until you get comfortable, and also practice on brake control that’ll help out alot the best thing to practice that is try coasting for as long as possible or dropping back which is a liitle bit more harder

another key thing is when doing a proper wheelie ..dont fear so much becasue your back is upright almost as if you are walking ..look at any long distance wheelie man ..his upper torsoe is in a walking position...just a little bit leaning back from proper upright position.so if you are like 45 degrees ..your body is in wrong position.
