[@liamroday6465]

This was a good video, however, in my opinion you left out a more important lesson and that was how to fall backwards without getting hurt. There are 2 ways that i know of however there may be more ways out there that I am not aware of wait a set I take that back. There are 3 ways the chicken we all know (lol), reaching forward and grabbing our chair as we lean forward, and the twisting to the side to catch ourselves. I believe this is an important thing to practice while learning to pop wheelies.

[@Wheels2Walking]

Valid point! I’ll be pinning this comment :)

[@thetoothfairy7688]

It’s also important to mention anti-tip bars. My believe is that if you have the movement and balance to handle a manual chair by yourself without a problem you should not have them. The reason is that they can be a false security. Sure they can help you from falling over in some cases but if you fall with enough force and go over the anti-tip bars the fall will be so much faster and harder than if you fall in one fluid motion. I removed my anti-tip bars when I was 7 because they were in the way when I jumped up and down from sidewalks etc but I have tipped over with my old basket ball wheelchair and I hit my back really bad because of the anti-tip bars. This is of course something each and everyone needs to decide for themself but it should be known that anti-tip bars are not 100 procent safe so to learn how to fall is always important.

Can disabled person steele in another country

[@liamroday6465]

@@vishaljaba7819 Yes and if caught must face whatever charges are in that country.

[@artistaloca4]

I used to fall backwards frequently. To avoid smashing mah po head yet again I lean forward to allow the backrest to absorb the shock. Once contact is made I lean back, bringing my legs up over my head into a backwards somersault- coming up to my knees. The chair rights itself and turns a little, rolling right to me. I then crawl up to remount. Hope this helps ❣️

[@gareddore2703]

When I first was in a chair i fell all the time... I'd go on rolls on my own and fall and people would actually get out of the car to help me lol, super embarrassing. But I wouldn't be who I am today without going out and trying new things.

[@amberhyde240]

Gared Dore I just had a similar occurrence. The ramp was blocked and I was able to get my casters on the curb but didn’t have momentum to push up. A lady literally stopped her car and yelled out her window “ need help!?” I love how open people are to helping. The same day I misjudged an uneven sidewalk and dropped everything in my lap and a lady from a yard away started running to help. It was embarrassing but nice.

[@gareddore2703]

yeah i totally agree. I feel like its so rude either for the city or those people who would block such important accesses for wheelchair users. My first few years I was so negative about how people looked at me, and hated them trying to approach me... I was the ass whole. Being out 10 years I feel like MOST people just dont understand, and want to; but most of all they want to help. I was in the club once (early chair years) and I tipped backwards and my bear launched out of my lap, I ended up on the floor. Before I knew it I was back in my chair with another bear in my hand. A couple fist bumps and they were on their way. Not everyone is like this but most are.

[@amberhyde240]

Gared Dore very true. A lot of people don’t understand and want to, they don’t naturally think about people using wheelchairs because it’s not SO common that it’s their first though when on the sidewalk but when they see us they go out of their way to change it. When I couldn’t get up the curb the wheelchair access was blocked with carts but when I left the carts were gone. It’s just more of then needing to see us to think about us.

[@gareddore2703]

Agreed 💯

[@thewoolverine4420]

I'm in the process of getting my first prescribed wheelchair. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I'm ambulatory and I waited a really long time to discuss my mobility with my doctor and get a script for a seating evaluation. I saw your video about ambulatory wheelchair users and it gave me the courage to start the discussion. I had my OT evaluation last week and I go in to try equipment and get measured on Wednesday. I'm actually really excited. I spend so much of my time in bed because of dislocations and illness, the idea of being able to take my kids to the park again is my reason for breathing right now. I just really hope you keep making these videos. People like me and people worse off than me need to see them. I didn't realize how much I was missing until I started watching (mostly just the intro LOL) of your videos. We're all on a hard road and it just feels good knowing that someone did it before and to be encouraged to keep trying. I even joined the wheel women hole after your video about friends who are also disabled. You've opened my world up so much. My husband also wanted me to say thank you. He really appreciates your honesty about hard days and how we can only do our best. Blessings and abundance to you and yours

[@magpiecorbitt6745]

This video was so helpful. I have Ehlers Danlos and suspected MS, and so there are times when I have to use my chair because my legs just won't work. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a standard hospital chair (although customized slightly) until insurance decides I actually need a custom one, so wheelieing in it is so difficult. Yesterday I tried to hold a wheelie and I fell backward and died. It was hilarious until I realized I smacked my head. So I'm glad I found this video and wish I'd watched it before attempting a wheelie. :)

[@rockykoast7065]

My condition is similar...I also make do with a heavy secondhand wheelchair as I have no financial help for that as yet..

[@morganhuggard7301]

Same! Also with the EDS. my chair is super heavy and just WILL NOT WHEELIE!

[@Boo-YouDoYou]

I have EDS too. I got my wheelchair today. I’m so nervous to do this wheelie to tackle curbs

[@Bertdevries4865]

I am in my chair for about 15 years now. I mastered the skills since my childhood. I had a friend who lost both of his legs and I played with his chair all the time. Now I am 55 years of age and get realy sick when I was in the 40 years. I have a spinal cystes (Tarloves disease) and osteoporosis lumbar. I praise you for your videos. You learn new (rollers) the skills they need in life. I just gave me a huge idea fir making video's here in the netherlands. I am a subscriber of your channel and a huge fan. You are doing a great job with your partner in life. So good to see how you both are connected to each other. Until next time. Sincerely, Bert de Vries

[@NatLeBrun]

Four and a half years into using a chair and still struggle with holding a wheelie. But you’ve given me the confidence to keep going

[@littlebit8304]

Show off! LOL. My chair doesn't have any "DUMP" so long wheelies are difficult. But the jump the curb and quick wheelies I've got down. Thanks for your videos

[@Frankk18pty]

I'm a physical therapy student and WOW! you have really helped me learned this so I can teach my future patients this cool move. Thanks!

[@frostydinosaur8187]

Thank you bro I’ve been using wheelies and pop ups to get through tough terrain and anything my caster wheels would stuck on, but I never thought about using my environment to get up curbs! I also saw your trick to get into houses that have a step and that was really helpful!

[@cpr58]

Haven't even got my Chair yet and I already know how to pop a wheelie

[@Alexosys]

videos like this really give me hope. i have back problems that are progressively getting worse, the pain is making is almost impossible to walk, and eventually i will have to get a chair. these help me not feel as afraid for my independence.

[@loadingtekno]

How are your back problems now? I hope they didn't get much worse!

[@CornelianEmotions]

I'm a completely able-bodied person and got curious about this. This is a really well explained video. I learned a whole lot about wheelchairs and and people with leg disabilities that I didn't know beforehand which is valuable! More videos like these likely help so much other people with disabilities learn new ways to manage them. I hope I can learn more from KZbin to help understand the lives of disabled friends and family members. Thanks so much for teaching others! This was an absolute blast to watch! :D

[@niamhseren9913]

My little brother does wheelies with me just for fun 😂

Can’t wait for the next video. Spinal surgery a few months back left me with an incomplete injury and I have yet to practice floor recovery.

[@MarcusBlau]

great video as always... when i got my wheelchair back in last august, practicing that wheelie was my 1st lesson, wirh my sofa in the back... after some weeks i was able to hold it, even with one hand. and even today, when i'm in my wheelchair on road, i always practise the wheelie...

[@taramoss6662]

[@williamclark9743]

Just so you know (sincerely) I am subscribed (relatively new wheelchair bound disabled) and I love your content. I can't tell you how much I've learned from your videos and your attitude is contagious and inspiring to say the least. I haven't even tried the wheelie, but I'm inspired to start. My wheelchair isn't customized to me (VA issued standard wheelchair), but I look forward to trying in my room.

[@Dekraakjes]

i am in a wheelchair 20+ years en still learning from you man thanks great video's

[@keelyicardi2717]

I’m so glad I found this video, thank you! I have EDS and just had a bad knee injury, with only 6 weeks until Worlds with the National Adaptive Cheer team. Doc put me in a chair and said go for it - but I found in the last 23 hours of practice that knowing how to work with wheelies that are bound to happen is super important. Have a lot to practice by the end of April!

[@phxf]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed. I learnt so much! 💙

This video made me realize my chair isn't adjusted to my body correctly lol I could only get my castors off the ground with a lot of force, leaning back does nothing at all and I really had to prepare to get over an obstacle. So I guess I'll come back here when that is taken care of, thank you!

[@natashak3387]

I still need training with this. I was in power wheelchairs for almost ten years and thankfully was able to use a manual wheelchair with multiple major surgeries. I get my second manual wheelchair in a few weeks. I can do a wheelie for like three to five seconds.

[@puritydabudgie7873]

i was in a wheelchair for a little time but not that long in primary school, doing wheelies was my way of having fun. i did a 2 minute wheelie and it was so fun.

[@Wheeled_Fighter]

With my anti tippers on the highest setting I got to the balance point and back I went until I stopped. I dont have very good core strength and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to get down I laughed. Thats the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Thank your for the encouragement to try to learn this.

[@MrRepoman225]

Love you bro ❤ 💙 🙏 Much love! Yoi have helped me so much!

[@BreakerInc]

Having only been in a chair for 4 weeks so far, I'm glad for these videos. I'll be so glad when I'm out of this temporary thing though, wanting to get into wheelchair skateboarding among other things. Haha, watching more of this.. I use a LOT of environmental elements to get around XD It's just faster in so many cases!

[@khurrle]

Hi! I’ve been practicing wheelies just for about a week as a new chair user. I like where my center of gravity is right now, just far enough forward where casters aren’t jumping off the ground, but still plenty of movement to smoothly pop into a wheelie. I tried to use your trick at the beginning, to lean back to find my center of gravity, but my chair feels so stable that it doesn’t tip back. Does that mean maybe I don’t have a good idea of my center of gravity? Maybe my chair frame style or the fact that I’m a small guy has something to do with it. Long winded I know. You’ve already helped me with so many wheelchair tips and self esteem boosts. Thanks for all your help so far! ♥️

[@cydneyhartwell8295]

I got my first wheelchair today and was using it on my own. I got down a crosswalk curb onto the road but then I couldn‘t get up the other side and it was honestly terrifying, because I didn‘t know what to do and there were cars coming. Thankfully a trucker on the other side of the road saw me and immediately jumped down to help me, but i‘m now really unsure going outside which sucks. So thank you for this video 😊

[@Wheelygonzales]

Just wait for fall recovery. That's really fun, especially on super abrasive asphalt.

[@topspinnthedancingwheelcha1184]

I suggest for people learning to wheelie to put a belt around your chamber tube and have someone hold the other end of the belt so if you do go back to far youll only go so far

[@joaotaero]

Best video ever!

[@StevenLester-pd7ef]

Cheers that was well helpful thanks take care

[@mandyjade4999]

love your vids! i still cant pop up a curb like that and i get scared to after so many scrapes an bruises falling. the worst is around high traffic places - so freakin emberising.

[@brandonm4344]

Part of this looks like it was at the Shepherd Center. That’s a awesome place, I was there for several several months. Now waiting on another surgery then go back to Shepherd to complete everything. Great video, I’m a avid watcher just don’t comment much.

[@Wheels2Walking]

Not a shepherd but in Atlanta! I went there too. Great place!

[@tomlee252]

thanks for the tutorial, I have watched it a few times, this time I watched and noticed that the axel wasn't under my butt. so after adjusting I finally can do the wheelies without the chair rolling forwards

[@cdog0818]

This was on my recommended section when I was wheeling around the park. But I just do it for fun I can walk

[@imjustwolf]

I have been in a wheelchair for most of my entire life (22+ years) and still didn't know all this. Might also be because half that stuff I can't really do because of anti-tip bars and a heavy backpack, but still good knowledge to have!

[@rockykoast7065]

I took off the anti-tip bars as I found they got in the way sometimes... I'm still trying to master the full wheelie..

[@imjustwolf]

@@rockykoast7065 my hair has adjustable heights for the bars so I just have them set really high. I don't like going up hills without them because I've tipped back and slammed my head hard when I was younger.

[@DvdXploitr]

I’ve only been in a wheelchair since April (2022) and my wheelchair was not adjusted for me in anyway. It was a cheap used chair from a thrift store. Maybe soon i can get a chair more suitable for me. However, with that said, I have learned how to wheelie. Still can’t ride it, but it’s all about practice

[@hooter1959]

Im not paralyzed so its almost embarrassing asking y'all anything, but I'm an ole man and past that. I do respect you very much I have osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. My back broke last August my T7 and T8 vertibre just crumbled I guess from lifting something. Not have cement and metal holding it together. I've fallen many many too many times since then causing alot of painful scar tissue to build up. Now 7 weeks ago something happened to my pelvic area causing SEVERE!! pain in what I call my hip... Was supposed to know it was actually the SI joint. .. Well fell 2 times last night in my bathroom busting my front ribs... already have 2 broken ribs in the back next to where I had surgery... Blah blah blah i know Well I've been using a cane and walker to around but the pain down from my hip is just horrible. So bought a cheap wheelchair on Amazon to see if it'd help get around in my little vintage 2 house. OH so much to learn ..!! Heck im just now getting up the 3 inch hump between my livingroom and dining room. The main reason i got on KZbin to see how to do wheelies and to see if there is a better wheelchair to get that can maneuver more easily.. .Boy Hidy I found some $$$$!!!! I don't have the money or credit line to purchase one. I know with my brittle bones and me falling all the time I may have to depend on a wheelchair to get around. Getting ready to move into an independent living community this Saturday and it will be easier there than in here but have to get up and go to dinning room for meals and other activities. Right now I'd just starve before trying to walk in all this pain. Can I do most of the same things in the cheap off the shelf wheelchair?? Can i customize it? Thank you for your videos because i sure didn't know how i would ever do such things Thank you❤

[@grimesfan]

Hello! I've found that the "off-the-shelf" wheelchairs are stable enough if they're in the $400-500 range, mostly because they're better built, safer, and much more sturdy. Not to be disrespectful to you, but I wouldn't recommend learning to do wheelies at your age because I would really hate if you hurt yourself :/ Hope this helps!

[@serpentlili]

I'm getting my first chair delivered soon (nitrum) and the thought doing wheelies to navigate around has been absolutely terrifying but you seem to calm the nerves a lil'.

[@thetoothfairy7688]

When you find your balance and trying to do a forward wheelie on even ground(or grass for that matter) I find it easier to keep balance while moving one hand forward on the push rims while the other go back and then vice versa. That way the front won’t dip as much as when you make the same motion with both arms at the same time. It feels more steady and relaxed.

[@ClaudiaDCD]

That makes sense, even sounds safer. A hand is always on the wheel that way, right?

[@Wheels2Walking]

On a flat surface that works. Anything where you gotta put some strength into it (like grass or gravel) that way falls apart. Can’t really put enough oomph behind it.

[@thetoothfairy7688]

ClaudiaDCDL That’s right :)

[@thetoothfairy7688]

Wheels2Walking Well I guess my technique is a little unconventional. It works for me though. :)

[@AndrewSmoot]

Until I got my current chair, I couldn't pop an unassisted wheelie to save my life; now that I have a chair that actually fits my body, I can pop a wheelie without issue. Having said that, I still have wheelie bars on the back of my chair because I like to tilt back and rest on the bars every so often while I'm doing other things without having to worry about whether or not I'm going to crack my head open just to lean back.

[@iride103]

Hi, do you mean you have "Anti Tippers" so you won't go completely auss over head, I have new and first wheelchair with these bars and do want to do a wheelie soon, so will I be able to do with my Karma Ergo S-305 wheelchair???? please post reply thank you RMS

[@zoulexx1837]

I’m 17 and a year ago I got shot in the spine and I was wondering if you could make a video of the perks about being in a wheelchair

[@Siopc]

Not tryna be bad out, but why tf did you get shot and who shot you?

[@Siopc]

Don’t answer if it’s too personal

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Dear, this is too, difficult to answer for all people cause there are so many different reasons, needs and abilities, it depends on the country/state you're living in: eg. Born with disabilities there are different things to think of than if become disabled cause s. o. shot you in your spine wheneyou were 50 and teacher of maths (normally no fantastic sports - built body) or if that person was sports teacher or bodybuilder before. You see from first moment on there are differences and they'll go on. Therefore there are specialists: working in health care insurances. Working as lawyers, working at Red Cross to show you where to ask… these are the persons you must ask. I can understand so much that you're in need to know what to do. But her e.g. you write you were shot. That's hard! But: why were you shot? In theory you might be an unguilty victim, then there are different help actions and insurances to ask than if you had been )only for example and to explain, not for sure) one of three bank robpers, shooting around and hit by a policeman who had to stop you when you kidnapped an old woman in the shop for being your living protection…far different - and this different are the things s.o. would do for you or has to! I live in Germany and when I had to go into wheelz I called my health care insurance (h.i) if I could get help how to drive a wheelchair. They said they don't know. Yesterday I came to know that IN GERMANY a person who needs a wheelchair for the very first time has the right to get a kind of REHA to learn to go around with a wheelchair, to repair tiny things, to do wheelies to master curbs… only 2.7% of all wheelchairusers are said that there is the right to get that!This way it's easy not to give tons of money for a right I had. Now it's late, a few months ago I got my second wheelchair. I had to fight alone cause the man in the shop said he can't help me to get that special one I wanted. But I wanted it cause I need it and so I took some calls to the h.i. and wrote some letters… it took 4 more months and I had to pay at least 500 € additionly to get my well fitting wheelchair to my deseases and to my abilities and disabilities. Everyone is different so every case is different, special. So noone can say what has to be done ALWAYS. Ok? But if you can ask very special asks perhaps we can help you with some advice. Be blessed.

[@rockykoast7065]

I'm like you..I have a progressive neuropathy, so physically abilities are declining...I got my wheelchair about 9 months ago. First time out I was fighting the tears as I've been pretty sporty all my life.. It would take me at least 90 minutes to walk (hobble) to the shop n back & I'd be exhausted. In my 'chair I can do the round trip in 25-30 mins and have energy to spare. It's improved my life 300%!

[@anemoononfire333]

Awesome video! :D I have a small question though, how do you actually stay in one position without the wheelchair going fast forward if you're on a street or something? :)

[@PrismYuuzuki]

I just got a wheelchair. It’s a Kadokura sports type with anti tippers. I adjusted position of the anti-tippers enough so I can lift the casters high but not fall all the way backwards I’m having difficulty holding a wheelie for more a than a couple of seconds before the casters drop back down though. 😖

[@paralifetv-youreverydaywhe8314]

Keep practicing! You'll get it!

[@rockykoast7065]

I can manage pop-ups for kerbs etc. but at 64 & using a wheelchair for 6 months now, I'm still apprehensive ( ok, scared!) of the full stationery wheelie. Wondering if my wheels are still too far back...or whether I just need to overcome the fear factor. Maybe I need to topple over backwards a few time in controlled conditions like with cushions or on sand.... When I was still able-bodied, I learned it hurts when you fall & shakes you up more once you pass the age around 40? ( First time that happened my feet just slipped from under me on ice..)

[@wheelchair4x368]

I have been a Paraplegia for year now. Had no PT, OT not rehab. Everything I can do now, learn on my own. From learning get dress, hooking my catheter, to learning what need with my wheelchair.

Your videos give me so much more confidence. But months to learn the wheelie? Ugh, then it's gonna take me so much longer. I'm not as fit. Do you have to have good core muscles to keep the wheelies up like that? Around curbs is where I need to most help, so it'll be really neat if I can start navigating some on my own.

It’s more about technique than strength. Practice practice practice

i'm in a wheelchair r walker cause my legs shake from seizures with my legs shaking all the time will i still be able to do this r will my balance be off cause of it

Have you tried using the freewheel attachment yet? it was released in 2013 and I believe ALL paraplegics with a complete or incomplete spinal cord injury should own 1 for their manual wheelchairs. We're capable going on any surface without losing stability on over sped bumps. down and and even u curbs, up and downhill as well. I was able to do the San Jose Rock and Roll half marathon for the 1st time last October 2022. I hoping to get sponsored so i can travel and do all the Rock and Roll marathons.

I broke my. Leg and I learned this all by myself😂😂😂

[@kristi.kervin]

The first time I tested a wheelchair I fell backwards and cracked the back of my head 🤦‍♀️ needless to say when I went to build a custom one they asked if I wanted the anti tip bars and I said “YES!!!! 100% YAS!!!”

I think the front of my chair might be too heavy or my axle might not be forward enough because I can't hold it for more than a few seconds, the front just comes back down

[@jaggeredson3459]

I saw a wheelchair in an airport, and it took me 5 mins to learn a wheelie in it. And I could hold it for like 20 seconds, its fun, and a lot easier than I thought!

[@EMRU.03]

Is the center of gravity on my chair too heavy or something?? No matter how far I lean back my casters don’t pop up. I can do wheelies but I can’t hold them and that’s what I want

[@Fiddlinfrenzy]

Can a folding chair do wheelie? I learned a lot from you

[@cortneyprutgers]

Hi! Any advice or can u do a video for tricks for those with limited arm strength or heavier people. About to get my first chair (with smart drive to assist) but I def don't have the strength you do

[@phxf]

I thought I was so weak, but after getting my first chair, my arms have gotten so much stronger. My wrist stability still struggles, because of connective tissue shit (EDS) but remember strength is usually something you can change with practice, and once you have a comfortable way to get outside and live, you are going to be so motivated to build that strength. If you’re worried about it if you can, see a physio or exercise physiologist and they can design exercises you can do to prepare until the chair comes too!to get a head start on that.

[@thetoothfairy7688]

Micky VanRip It’s really much more about technique than force. And like he said to have a chair that is perfectly tuned to your balance. That will get you far. Then it’s just practise, practise and practise. Don’t be afraid to fall..You WILL fall sometime. We all do. And when you do keep in mind to lean forward to protect your head and neck.I still do it now and then and I’ve had a wheelchair for 34 years now. It’s important to remember that your wheelchair is a way to transport you from A to B...it’s not a comfy armchair. If you can lean back with you’re whole body and nothing happens, then your wheelchair’s not tuned right.

[@wheelz4907]

What brand of chair do you have.

[@bensiagel]

I justed wanted to learn how to wheelie on my dad's wheelchair
