Do you grip with your knees So you can relax your hands

[@austinfoster5662]

This is the only video I think I've seen that has actually broke it down into a step by step w/ description of each step. Stoked to shred some slow ass tech wheelies this this spring. Great content, sick gear/bike. and as always you're a damn legend.

[@andrewdehne8932]

This is the video you watch before heading to the ER.

Thanks for explaining in better detail for us beginners

[@calktm]

Hi Ronnie - my daughter learning to do mx as beginner - I have watched a few of your videos - you have a very good way of explaining / teaching

[@chuckp2434]

I've done some of the best wheelies by accident, held on to the bike and kind of went with it, it's harder on a Harley, I have to talk to twitch, you rock Kung Foo

[@faisstlife]

hahaha.., Harley are harder for sure! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@JohnSmith-dw3hc]

Thanks for the videos. I enjoy your teaching style; it's to the point and not watered down with non relevant information.

[@courtneywoodcox3258]

thank you!! working on wheelies, and the first gear tip really helped... heard a lot about 2nd gear wheelies, but never got it down completely... so thanks brotha!! love your tips!!

Is the clutch necessary for a slow wheelie?

what gear is best for slow wheelies ???

[@faisstlife]

try first or second .. see what one you like better.. i like first

[@moneymusicent100]

@@faisstlife alright thanks 😎

[@donixfernandez9866]

Thanks Ronnie Moto/Jesus lover here from Philippines ❤️

[@faisstlife]

right on brother! much love 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@3wamy]

In which gear do you suggest I should start learning slow wheelie guys? My bike is yz450f.

[@faisstlife]

try 2ed gear.. if you can't get the front up in 2ed. then try 1st. 👍🏼

[@PrairieMechanic]

I can do great higher speed wheelies both sitting or standing. The slow clutch/brake ones have always been my struggle. Not confident enough and don’t have the muscle memory to hit the rear brake before its to late. And then I end up not in the balance point and wind out the gear too soon.

[@faisstlife]

yeah the slow ones are a little harder. just have to keep practicing them until you get them.. try to just start with your foot already over the rear break. that way it's already in place if needed 👍🏼👍🏼

[@briankc21]

Another great video!! The editing is on point!! 🔥

[@faisstlife]

i know. so pumped to be working with Andre 👍🏼👍🏼

[@briankc21]

@@faisstlife totally agree, plus it takes alot off your shoulders to focus on putting out more great content.

[@JOEMAMA.95]

Hi i have sort of the same bike its a 2018 husqvarna fc350. It does have a full fmf system on. But ive tried power wheelies on it and couldn't get it to come up. Idk if its bc im not staying in the throttle long enough to get the bike to do it. (I have a loose chain) do you think i should stay in the power longer until it comes up? Idk how to explain it exactly haha. To make it easier i guees im blipping the throttle i dont stay in it for more then 2 seconds lol. Also i just have hard pack around

[@danigelcowan5695]

So do your clutch pop in 2nd ?

[@dirtbikeenthusiast9494]

Awesome!

[@faisstlife]

thanks dude

[@SnailHouseProjects]

Ronnie!!! Glad to see you're making content! I remember meeting you and Link at the warped tour in el paso, geeze that was a long time ago! haha got my sons riding now too and they cant stay off the back wheel! Stay safe!

[@faisstlife]

haha! that's awesome bro. much love 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@kelliebrooks9094]

All joking aside i ve been riding 45 years an i always like to see if i can learn more i never think i know it all...some times 2 people can do the same thing but nit excactly the same....i spent most of my racing keep traction an the bike on a small 4 inch wheely i can do the cat walk...i like the power wheely best ever since i saw BROC GLOVER do it in opening ceramonies at Anahiem SX over a thousand years ago...100 may be...it was a while...dunlop broc..golden boy...u know who u are...jk

[@ariklewin9202]

Ronnie, Thanx a lot for the video. This is the far most clear video for how to do a wheelie! I watched lots of content and I missed something... after watching this video, I took my 2T Husky and practice. In very little time it hit me! What I was missing is using the front break - now I'm getting it :)

[@faisstlife]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@barrymcdonald9868]

yes, first time I've seen using the brake to compress front forks, I'd be trying to do it purely by loading up both ends by bouncing

[@luistortolero1540]

Can you make jumping tips next

[@faisstlife]

i'm doing a how to jump a dirt bike for sure 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SteelCityFilms]

Ronnie, what is the best gear to be in for beginners? Thanks.

[@faisstlife]

i like 2ed gear, but i'm on a 450. what bike you on??

Ronnie can you pull one up and shift through the gears in the air?

Where can I listen to your bike?

[@kobiabr7532]

I am doing the stand up wheelie, i press down the pegs,most of the times in the air, I open up the throutel, and then quickly press the clutch, what can I do to avoid it?

[@mupenzibertin3391]

Wich gear is good to use?

[@mikekraz6193]

Gang Gang!!!

[@zayloe999]

im thinking abt switching from pedal bikes to dirt bikes. will it help if I already know my balance point from a pedal bike?

[@faisstlife]

yes 100%

[@danielreeves9613]

Easier ta do it up a small slop on flat ground??

[@faisstlife]

small slop can be helpful for sure. But learn to do then on both 👍🏼👍🏼

[@danielreeves9613]

Or sit on rear plastics an whiskey it 😂😂🥃

[@salusander900]

Nice video 😎 I was wondering if you let me use few secs of it on my new video about wheely.. full credited ofcourse 🙌

[@visonary8942]

When are those Sweet graphics gonna be available for his saints , to represent. 🙌🏁🏋🏁💘? Thanks for the the online training tip!🏆

[@sparkyboots]

I've been practicing like crazy. The bike tends to start falling to one side or the other as soon as the wheel comes up and I have to let off. Also, does tire pressure matter? I have the rear set pretty low, around 10 psi because there's a lot of loose terrain where I'm practicing

[@vladastamosiunas6592]

Happened to me before as well. Just invested a lot of time on stationary balance and general balance training. Also was extremely difficult for me to do it on Yamaha YZ250, but on KTM EXC300 is way way easier. Maybe its just a preference, but I felt so much better on KTM imediatelly.

[@Peepeepoopoo0690]

Try to relax and imagine like your just taking off like normal going straight when you start the wheelie. Dont force it youre riding the bike don't let it ride you.

[@bombdudegrc3605]

is doing a wheelie on a bmx bike any thing like a dirt bike because i am insane at doing wheelies on a box

[@azkrie5246]

Is it the same on a 2 stroke

[@faisstlife]

yeah same technique for either bike 👍🏼

[@since4everrr]

I got my first dirtbike 4 years ago and now i have 3 of them lol and i’ve already broken my hand twice from riding lol so i’ve mostly stuck to trails since then.. but i want to learn wheelies so bad, i feel like they’re not as risky to learn as taking jumps. Btw my main bike is a yz250f can i learn to wheelie on that?

[@kelliebrooks9094]

Yeah if ur new i always say start with 80 or kx 100 crf 150 something small that would hurt u if ur a new rider...pw 50jk....hey if ur not really coordinated be super patient most of mx sx rr racer are highly coordinated dont be hard on urself relax an breath dont let ur friends push u its ur arse that on the bike not theirs...really to GB practice on your mountain bike i do nose wheelie into a wheelie on mountain bike u can really train ur balance an upgrade it...but pop a wheelie on a mountain bike an feel the back tire if u cant then practice...some times mountain bike has a short wheel base its harder to feel the wheelie balance an if it too long it would let u pop it an then u go to far an thro it away have ur feet ready...i skate board vert so im always ready to put my feet to earth regardless of it forward or behind me grass is the best for popping wheelys with a new tire u can barely stop it from wheeying

[@tb0496]

I can wheelie but I’m scared to put both feet one because I’ll fall I need to practice break control

[@faisstlife]

yeah keep you foot on the break, that will help keep you from looping out

[@sanesaint5705]

I knew that lol thanks on jumps always give it gas till the end of the jump and when you land to keep it going straight ☺️

Sweeting editing, the shot of you executing whist explaining was really good, maybe more of that. Criticism: I feel like the music choice could've been better, it just felt a little lame. Some OG punk rock or rap music that you like would make the video feel more authentic. much love :)
