I found myself saying "holy shit!" out loud when you got that perfect wheelie on 2 months in. Dunno why but the dad in me is super proud of you.

[@Kawagromba]

That’s awesome man I love that! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏼

[@zx6mick]

Honda made a generation of stunt riders. .... good job

I’m on day two currently. Two years after posting and your video inspired me! Amazing work man, can’t thank you enough

Hell yeah, get it man. Thanks homie! Appreciate ya 🙌🏼

[@duckysunboxing]

Thanks for this im on day 2. Same as your day 2. I can pop it up but cant hold it for long. Im wondering if il ever be really good at it but seeing your video means I shouldn’t give up. Thanks for this motivation!

[@Kawagromba]

Yeah man absolutely keep pushing you’ll get there! 🙌🏼 It starts to make a lot more sense with seat time. I actually just made an in depth wheelie tutorial on my channel if you wanna go check it out, it might help you a lot with learning balance point and brake control 🤙🏼

Thanks man, appreciate that!

[@greatsouthernfpvrc3322]

I love the video bro and so happy for you and how far you came in 5 months the only thing I wish you had intended in the video was the loops you would have done while learning. Not to sound like an ass about it but it then could show the new stunters that every one has come off and you don't always get it right first try

[@Kawagromba]

Thanks man! And you are definitely right though. I think I’ve looped about 6 times in total but literally never caught a single one on video. How it always goes 😂

Watching this vid makes me miss riding. I went from my xr50 straight to a 636 and progressed pretty fast but after a couple years stoppped stunting. I want to pick up a grom to scratch that itch that never goes away to wheelie

[@Kawagromba]

Nice man! Yeah, I swear once you start there’s no going back 😂

[@ChumiStu]

Dayum. Mega progress but that’s commitment

[@tightropehikes]

Did you feel like grom wheelies transferred to larger bikes well? Hope you see this. No good answers on the net. Going to purchase a grom for the exact purpose you have. Hopefully it helps me progress on my larger bikes

Not at all! I have buddies that are 6ft and they don’t have any issues either

[@okami803]

Dope. I need to step up! Stock gearing?

[@Kawagromba]

Pretty close to it! -1 in the front is all

[@rubenmurillo8367]

At the beginning were you in 1st or 2nd gear

[@Kawagromba]

First gear

[@Ihearttaylorswif]

Mad props. What is your advice on the first day? What did you mean when you said something click? And also what psi you running in the lot?

[@Kawagromba]

Use foot brake, don’t just cover the foot brake, so you get used to using it immediately 😅 And something eventually clicks in your mind where you understand what balance point feels like and how to hold yourself there with the brake and gas. Psi is usually around 14

[@GREG_MOTO]

Damn wish i could go out and wheelie, still need to wait 5 months for my license. But on a side note, keep ripping it dude.

[@16thrider12]

that's what happen'd to me it just clicks and your like yesss!!!! and how fast do you go when wheeling on rides?

Yeah man, gotta love it 🤙🏼 and usually low to mid 30s in 2nd gear on the stunt rides and what not

[@Kawagromba]

It’s winter here right now, so not able to ride as of right now 😞

[@Evil_Arrow]

nice man)

[@podium123]

So was it easier to learn balance point doing stand ups or sit downs?

[@Kawagromba]

That’s a tough one. I did learn balance point in sitdowns first but had my longest wheelies in stand ups while learning. It comes down to preference 🙂

[@vikramrsingh6041]

How many hours of practice per day????

[@Kawagromba]

I started anywhere from a half hour to several hours depending 😄

[@vikramrsingh6041]

@@Kawagromba can u tell exactly how the Balance point feels like

[@Kawagromba]

It’s hard to explain but kind of feels like tipping back in a chair and that spot right before you tip over backwards all the way is when you tap the brake to catch yourself. I have a video explaining how to do wheelies on my channel if you want to check it out and see if it helps you too

[@BrodakFilmz]

The first time it clicked and you went across the lot were you using rear brake or hand brake?

[@robbieharaschak9760]

Wow u got good crazy fast! Just started practicing wheelies on my grom these past 2 weeks and it’s been rough. I’ve been riding for over 10 years and could wheelie my kx250f for over a mile and even my pit bike pretty far but for some reason I’m struggling with the grom

[@Kawagromba]

Nice man, I came from a dirtbike background as well. You’ll get there 💪🏼 Master that footbrake!

[@Yonex333]

Did you installed a hand brake?

[@Kawagromba]

Yes I did

[@multicamchannel]

What sprockets are you running, stock or do you have it geared? Just bought a grom to learn wheelies better for the big bikes.

[@Kawagromba]

Stock sprockets 😁

[@multicamchannel]

@@Kawagromba Right on thanks man.... Thought about changing mine but seeing you ride good wheelies with stock I'm leaving them stock.

[@Kawagromba]

I might suggest running a 14 in front though to make 2nd gears easier and for circle wheelies, depending how you’re going to be riding. I can only do 2nd gear sitdowns if I shift into them but can do stand up 2nds if I heave the mf up 😂 I’ve left mine stock mainly so I still have my top end to do 55-58 without being pinned at redline since I have about a 20 mile ride on back roads to get to my lot 😅

[@locosk8er]

im your 999 sub!!!!!!!

[@Kawagromba]

Appreciate you bro!🔥

[@opuff1748]

Awesome vid brotha! Also wanted to ask did you wear elbow pads and knee pads while learning? If so what did you use or what would you recommend.

[@Kawagromba]

Thanks man! 🤙🏼 I just always wear my riding jackets which have built in elbow and shoulder pads 🙂

Was that with stock front fork oil, clutch springs and front sprocket?

@@Kawagromba What is sit down wheelies? Did you looped going fast?

[@Kawagromba]

A wheelie while sitting down in a normal riding position. And no I have not, thankfully all under 15-20mph 😅

@@Kawagromba wean you started to practice/learn wheelies on the groom, were you able to do it on bicycles first or not?

Also what gear is the best to learn stand ups 1 or 2?

I would say definitely 1st gear, especially if you’re stock gearing or close to it

What crash cage you got on there?

Get Bent Designs subcage and I used to run the New Breed crash cage but took it off after only 2 crashes. They are garbage lol do not recommend 😂

You won’t regret it man 🔥 Also I love the yt handle and profile pic 🤣

[@Shmack_]

I can pop it up and have hit balance point but I always end up letting off throttle and if I don't I can't figure out how to manipulate the brake slowly so I'm not chasing it out

[@Kawagromba]

I have a how to wheelie video on my channel, check it out if you haven’t yet man maybe it’ll help!

[@Chaze818]

Are you popping your clutch?

[@Kawagromba]

Yessir I am

[@Chaze818]

I thought you install a rear break lever and thats the only thing your squeezing..

[@Kawagromba]

Yes, unless I’m in a sitdown or staggered then it’s footbrake

[@outon2s]

Good stuff bro. I'm better at looping thenwheeling right now. But I saw you with a buch of other Gromers but you were the only one with the front in the air. Sad that not manny of them wheelie. When I get out with the squad we all work on wheelis and try to help each other out. Not saying you don't. But I was just wondering why oneone else was wheeling.

[@jappiemoto]

Any tips for a 50cc 2 stroke with clutch

[@Kawagromba]

I’ve never ridden one, but I imagine the process would be about the same, but probably start at a lot slower speed. Clutch and footbrake work will be the same!

[@niccoevans807]

So you just drop the clutch ?

[@edwardgarcia8457]

Yes, like there’s no tomorrow

[@canon6sexy990]

What sprocket setup do you have?

[@Kawagromba]

Stock rear, -1 in the front 😁

[@canon6sexy990]

Kawagromba oh ok because I just got a 14 for the front and a 37 in the back but I’ve not put them on yet

[@Kawagromba]

Oh right on, I think you’ll love that setup, a lot of people run that! The only reason I didn’t do the 37 in the rear is cause I ride a lot of roads where I need to be able to do 55 easily 😂

[@canon6sexy990]

Kawagromba I’m the same way but as long as I ride in the slow lane... people can wait😂😂 I’ve even thought about putting a 13 in the front and a 32 in the rear to get a faster speed

[@jamesallbright3170]

I have heard good and bad about the roll cage with the "shock" system in it. My question is will a mks 12 bar and peg sliders protect the controls?

[@Kawagromba]

Yessir, don’t get an engine cage. Subcage, rearset savers and pro taper bars is the perfect setup

[@charlieoberg5015]

Holy shit yo that's impressive. I fucked my knee up last summer so I'm just getting second gear sit downs now. But have you ever fallen off or ate shit yet?

[@jacobburns2003]

im on day two lol, trying to keep my legs on the bike and not flail them when it leans back lol

[@MaxTheMadGamer]

Did you ever flip or drop the bike whilst doing this?

[@Kawagromba]

Absolutely. Several times lol

[@monirulalam1035]

how did you learn to steer. My wheelies are always going sideways, cant keep it for long.

[@Kawagromba]

A lower rear tire pressure helps, I typically would run 14-15psi. But as far as purposely steering wheelies I found that putting pressure on one side of the seat in the direction you wanna go, kind of like hanging your butt off to one side will help. I know a lot of people will turn the bars and kind of twist the body to swerve but that always seemed sketch to me so I never learned that 😂

[@monirulalam1035]

so the butt hanging works only when the bike is high enough right ? I also get arm pump on my hands , what could be the reason for it? Am i not getting it to enough height ?

[@Kawagromba]

Exactly, if you’re chasing it still it’s not gonna be as easy to steer. As for the arm pump you could be pulling too much and or gripping too hard and holding yourself up or forward in a way. In an ideal world it should all be very relaxed, and let the bike do the work. After you yuck it up at least 😆

Lol a cage does nothing for the ease of wheelies, it’s crash protection. Get educated before roasting someone about something you know nothing about bud 🤣
