[@zaskadu8320]

Biggest tip which wasn't mentioned here.. is dont look down at your bike.. focus on the road in front of you.. almost at horizon level this will help with balance and long wheelies.

[@PorterMTB]

That's a great point, wish I'd remembered to mention that!

Yeah it was crazy to watch, glad my theories worked haha, and of course he put in the practice every single time he rode till he figured it out! Wait till you see the boy's progression in our newest video today from our trip to Whistler, they blew my mind!

[@FlowFinderUSA]

WOW!! Milo, at the end, was wheeling like he was born doing it!

[@PorterMTB]

Yeah it took a lot of days of practice, but then one day it really started clicking for him and he's got em dialed now!

[@MikeR65]

Love it! Milo was killing it! He’s a natural. Your advice has me feeling like I can do it!!

[@PorterMTB]

You can do it!! Milo has put in a lot of wheelie practice, as you could see in the end, he practiced every day to get them that good.

[@Ben_Kasper]

I started doing wheelies about a year ago and I have practiced pretty much every day since then and I would say I have pretty much mastered them to the point where doing a quarter mile is pretty easy

ive been learning wheelies for a long time. im telling yall: get over your fear! the fear is mostly the only thing keeping you from going to your balance point!

[@BadMonkeyFinger_Audio]

Your teaching technique/ explanations have the perfect delivery. Both of your boys did a great job, and your older son's rip at the end was better than I can do at the moment! (and I've been riding for 45+ years!). He really applied himself and caught on quickly. I think if I apply some of what you said during a little bit of practice, I could up my wheelie game, too. Great vid!

[@therealpinktea4284]

man im old af at 30 tearing up watching this remembering when i used to go cycling with my dad and brother. came to learn a wheelie, left with tears. your sons did tremendously!

[@mrt5342]

The best part of this has got to be the kids. Showing great reception and fantastic patience! I know I didn't have that kind of patience when I was younger (still don't, if I'm being honest). I'm around 23 years in, with multiple disciplines of biking under my belt, in that time. I do OK with wheelies. I cannot say that I have the ability or confidence to pull my front wheel off and give that a go, nor do I see that in my future. But alas, here I am, watching a "how to wheelie" tutorial - always room for improvement. I do like the practice on a slight uphill and have recommended this to others. There seems to be a push/pull regarding weight, resistance and gravity happening. I need to rewatch, but the pedal position tip was a new one for me, and I think is a super helpful detail. Wheelies are not only fun, but a natural progression, as well as being useful out on the trail to bail you out sometimes. Being able to manipulate the front end of the bike is a diverse skill.

[@PorterMTB]

Glad you enjoyed the vid! I agree that it's useful many times on trail to get your front wheel up a root or rock. Also, never to late to start trying, they are really fun! Maybe throw on a back protector or backpack just in case you loop out though haha!

[@AviatorGM]

Always wanted to wheelie. This video is gonna fill emergency rooms everywhere with middle aged men. See you all there!

[@theavengersarsenal8059]

Thanks! About to go try these, because I was doing a few things wrong: I used my dominant foot to start I didn't have my finger on the brake so I looped out a few times (but I landed on my feet) And I also stopped pedaling in preparation for the wheelie. I'll try to keep pedaling. Thanks again! Edit: Tell your sons they did absolutely amazing learning this!

[@wmonro2227]

FROM A WHEELIE LEGEND. Drop the seat where it fits right under arse , with both feet and tires on ground, you want to work from front tire being almost vertical and then blend into long catwalks. when they get the tipping point not balance point.... should take 60 hours tops ....Love vid ..Torontobikelife

@@PorterMTB yeah man a lot of other people don't talk about the fact that to be stable in a wheelie you need to have your seat down instead of up, and use the knees as well, so I'm glad you talked about those points! thanks!

@@4x4_DUGMTB I tried to think of everything that helped me, the only thing I forgot to mention is practicing somewhere without wind, which makes a huge difference!

When I was a kid I could ride wheelies at will for as long as I wanted. At 62 and on a full suspension MTB, Which 'seems' more difficult than my old banana seat/BMX bikes w/back pedal brake.
