    Default Couple newbie Wheelie Pics

    Here are some pics we took yesterday of my doing some wheelies. This was my 5th day doing wheelies, and though all the pictures only put my about a foot or two off the ground, It sure felt like I was further up on one hahaha. Guess when my balls get bigger I will post some updates hahaha.




    Coming off of a wheelie, just liked the look of the pic, kind of mean looking LOL:

    There is one BIG problem with the way you are doing those wheelies. You AREN'T covering the rear brake with your right foot! I have a broken left foot right now because I never did either, and one day the bish just pulled all the way up to near 12 o'clock and I went past balance point and fell off at 60mph because I wasn't covering and didn't practice using the rear brake to set the bike down in the event that it came up that fast and high. Once you get more than 2-3 feet off the ground it comes up REALLY fast in 1st so you NEED to have your right foot over that rear brake lever man! Don't make the same mistake I did, learn to use the rear brake before you fall off lol. I know you mentioned in your post in the "my first wheelie" thread that the throttle is your wheelie control, and indeed it is, but the rear brake is good insurance if say you accidentally pull too hard on the throttle in mid air or something. I'm not trying to critisize your wheelie techniques, just don't want somebody getting f - ed up like me; trying to help a brotha out.

    Other than that nice wheelies and nice bike!

    Yeah after reading your post in that same thread, I believe, I was thinking on making a point to get my foot over that brake and try using it. But I am only "popping" wheelies right now, and it comes down fast enough already. Dont wanna blow out the fork seals, but I will at least try and make a point to cover the rear brake in my practices. Thanks
