From there I started racing dirt bikes and quite about 4 yrs ago. Thanks for the memories!

Man this is great! I am almost 57 and grew up a little town in southwest Iowa, Emerson, had a population of 500. We rode bicycles around all the time, I never could wheelie like that, I had about 3 friends that could, they would get it balanced and could go for miles. I was pretty fearless at hitting our old board ramps though. Looking back I see now that those were some pretty awesome times. It’s been a pretty good ride for the most part, I’ve had some sad and hard times, I guess that’s the way she goes. All things will pass, just like I will someday, we just have to enjoy the time we have left and never forget the good times we had. For some reason this video brought just happy tears to my eyes. ❤️

How times have changed, bicycles were the most important thing to us, we rode them all the time, now it's a cell phone that is the main interest for kids.

How do you know you couldn't do it anymore? I'm 53, and it wasn't really all that long ago that after several decades, I was able to pick up one of my son's skateboards and after just a minute, or two tops, it was like the last time I rode was yesterday. And that included the learning curve of having to deal with a symmetrical board, one with a tail on both ends, which was something that didn't even exist back then. There was a front and rear of skateboards when I was a kid, the back having a swooped up tail and a level front. Just try it, you might just be surprised at how quickly it all comes back to you. It was pretty quick for me despite the notable difference in skateboard shape, and Oh yeah, I forgot mention earlier, but... I'm also about 40 lbs heavier than I was as a teen.

He still has great balance!I was known as the"Wheelie King"on my block.I taught my partner Bill and he turned out real good too.I announce one day I was going to ride a wheelie all the way around the local church .I nailed it in one try.I started riding them on my ten speed and found I could shift gear all the way to high gear.Dont think I could ride ten feet now.Cool video man! Thanks

I bet there are a bunch of us. In 1970 I got my Stingray, a dark metal flake red w/white banana seat with some sparkles. I changed the rear tire with a red line slick. It had two grooves but in it. I rode that bike until I was 15-16. Seeing this has me thinking about a custom stingray made from a Schwinn mountain bike. I'm going to make the seat,short sissy bar and the ape hangers. I'm not sure why we called them that but I loved that bike! Hey, thanks for the memories.

I am 60 years old now... I can remember the true feeling of riding a wheelie as far as I could.. that feeling that you and your bike are the only two things that exist in the whole world.. true bliss and finding your zen as you ride a wheelie down the neighborhood street.. not caring or even thinking about who might be watching.. it really was a different world way back then 9 or 10 years old.. peaceful serenity.. nice to see you can still enjoy finding your zen at nearly 60 years old.. fun to watch and Thank you! Rich! for sharing with the world!

That's awesome... makes me want to get back out on one wheel. I had a Free Spirit ten speed as a teenager in the 1970s, used to ride wheelies all over the place: up hill, down hill, around corners... haven't practiced in so long I'm now a newbie... at 60. lol

Thank you Richard for making this video. I was that kid, wheelie as long as I wanted to, even around the block. I’m 65 now and thinking about buying a stingray JUST to see if I could get it up again, the front wheel, that is. This has really encouraged me
