World Wheelie event 2021

Two days of immense skill and speed at the 2021 World Wheelie competition held on Elvington Airfield in the UK crammed into a few minutes. Riders from all over the world compete for the fastest 1KM wheelie, won in 2021 for the 2nd yr running by Damo Hirst with a speed of 191.146MPH

This event should have 10000 people there, its that good.

[@Bikedealer4U]

I agree, its amazing to see the bikes and riders up close

[@Ukmongoose3]

@@Bikedealer4U Yep, its all very down to earth and ego free. A great piece of humanity.

[@jpfourie1]

I thought this was a "world wheelie event" as suggested by the heading??

[@Bikedealer4U]

It is, and in between runs some of the top speed guys also use the runway. Trying to set up your bike for a full 1km wheelie down a windy runway take lots of tinkering to get right

[@CarlosSilva-ti5ib]

Yeah, wrong title.

[@darcyphillips70]

I’ve never seen so few wheelies at a wheelie event, perhaps a title change is in order

[@ballsack4321]

Hi Darcy, I went to this event ages ago when Ghostrider was there and I think the event is ran in tandem with Straightliners (top speed mad men) so not every run is a wheelie 🙂

[@txrick4879]

I made a similar statement but deleted it due to others calling me muppet and anger toward me , good luck or may be they saw their mistake .

[@Bikedealer4U]

Thank you

Still popping the odd wheelie here and there. I'm far better at high speed wheelies than I am slow speed one. Clutch up in third on an 05 blade and ude be surprised how quick your going towards the end of the third gear😳

[@malcolmdown9170]

Loved seeing the old x7 out there

[@Bikedealer4U]

There are some brilliant bikes at this event

[@franzehmann9531]

Sehr schön..... Schade das es so etwas nicht öfter gibt.....

[@razorbak6783]

The guy at 2:49 holding the rear brake to load up on power then releasing it into a wheelie was pretty cool, you don't see that technique done much.

[@richardfireone]

seems like the only one who knows how to wheelie

[@Bikedealer4U]

All the wheelie riders know how to wheelie but its not that easy to maintain for 1KM at speeds close to 200MPH, if I am in the wrong place then unfortunately I can miss the wheelie. The event is brilliant if you ever get the chance to come along.

[@whiskeythrottle333]

would make more sense to compress the forks before a wheelie. but i get your point.

[@Fastade80]

Can’t beat a high speed wheelie, 👌🏻👏🏻 well done guys, very entertaining 🏍💪🏻

[@Bikedealer4U]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@twowheelterror2925]

Music to my ears!!!

[@shazshaz7045]

That bmw wheelies are nice they are all nice must of been hard to videotape them

[@steveclare557]

Once they get above about 150mph it’s very difficult to video them, you should see the looooong list of failed attempts at video I have 😂

[@dg8062]

Confused......thought this was a wheelie event???

[@Bikedealer4U]

It is, however, in between runs there’s also top speed riders going down the runway. It’s none stop all weekend (weather permitting). This video is to give an insight into the event, I have lots of individual wheelie runs which I will post when I get time.

[@woooster17]

My wheelies are crap.. I worry so much about binning my precious bikes. 🤪 Cool collection of different bikes though 👌🏼 Edit.. When I first got into bikes me & my mate would watch Gary Rothwell.. that guy started a lot of this

[@alexandermcdole8464]

Where's Garry rothwell

[@steveclare557]

Gary has not attended for the last few years but when he did he was brilliant at fast wheelies.

It’s not just wheelie riders at the event, in between runs some top speed riders also use the runway. Some also try but fail, it’s not easy

its difficult to get the true feel of the speed on the video but if they go much faster all you will see is even worse video as its hard enough to get them doing 180 - 200 MPH

Some people might appreciate seeing the bikes going a bit slower so they can pause and see what machines are being ridden. If you don't like it just click onto the next video.

[@Bikedealer4U]

You are correct, however, I tried to give a short but overall view of the event. Spectators are not allowed at the start point so just wanted to let them see what it’s like. Sorry you didn’t like it

[@joeedwards9721]

Boring!

You should come along, its not just wheelie bikes, in-between runs the top speed guys also go.
