It took me 6 months to learn this trick and man it feels good to be able to do this. Patience and practice is key to learning this trick.

[@yenitrismayanti1943]

It took me two weeks to learn this trick in 2021 summer still worth it in the heat

[@compstops160]

@@yenitrismayanti1943 2 weeks? I am just learning how to pick it up and pedal about 2-3 times and when trying to sit down the front wheel comes down 1 second after I sit down!

[@RowdyPorp]

Six months and how far can you go, just asking because if you can do it like him than that’s really impressive

[@alanramirez7368]

@@RowdyPorp tbh I can hold it for as long as I want now, granted it’s been years of consistent practice that got me to this point

[@willshawyer7280]

So far you are the best guy at explaining things. I haven’t had any issue with knowledge about things and I would recommend you over gmbn or any other popular bike channels. Keep up the great work!

[@ikel018]

I would love to learn this skill during all this madness going on...I would feel so accomplished.

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

Put some time in and I'm sure you will!

[@heimizhou450]

Good Coach! very good tips and explaining! Thanks

[@florihupf]

Appreciate the video.

[@goalie8487]

I’ve learned to wheelie in only one week I almost can go aslong as I want

[@pixelloopy]

Yo! great content ... how-to manual would b dope!

[@lhd862]

Can you do a how to bunnyhop video

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

That's something we could consider for sure.

[@gtakian9195]

Please help I can’t shift my weight back

[@oliverzohn2181]

Took me six months just to learn how to loop out and it’s been four since then, and I still can’t wheelie

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

Keep at it, it'll click one day

[@jasperdalton8077]

Hello, I am small and can’t stay up at all so I just go straight back down

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

Try to use pedal strokes to keep the front wheel up. A shorter stem and bars might also help.

[@yourfatson8262]

Get close to the bars and be sure to lean into the wheelie not bend your arms don’t be afraid to spin out just Lear how it’s gonna happen keep shredding🤘

[@gtakian9195]

What is that bike

[@robert_nxy5545]

I think if i try to do this my mtb transmision is gonna destroy right? Idk im just worried about this🤷‍♂️

[@joshuaminnies1388]

Is that a medium frame 29er? Because it feels like I'm either going to be on the ground at 0 degrees or 90 degree. I guess a wheelie would place somewhere between that?

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

Correct haha. It's actually a large 27.5 though.

[@twobroswhobuild5435]

It took me about 2 months to learn a wheelie and while I was practicing I got so frustrated

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

It doesn't come easy...way to work through it👊

[@koenhekkelman3644]

I tend to lean to the right or left when wheelieing which causes my wheel to drop. any tips?

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

Use your knees to balance side to side

[@dylanleve8777]

Hey man, I can wheelie for about 0.18 of a mile, but at this point my arms start to go to the sides and it throws my weight off balance and makes me end it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have been wheeling for a little over a month now.

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

lean back enough so that your arms are locked straight and that should help

[@nathanbaker9457]

That’s the bike I’m looking at 😂

[@goldapple5731]

I need help having arms straight

[@twfreeride8932]

I need help! My handlebars keep turning while wheeling and it makes me turn and fall over its really annoying.

[@ChildrenOfTheLoam]

Lean back far enough that your arms are nearly locked out and straight
