I've seen that before... don't know if it was on here or not though...

My thoughts are that guy had no business trying a stand up. I'm no wheelie expert, but this guy looked like a total beginner. Did you see him trying to jerk it up? My guess is it was peer pressure, being in front of all the other people and having the camera on him.

I try to avoid guys like this.

It was painfully obvious he had no clue......feel worse for his bike than him though

Ive seen this video a few times and its the reason i have kept 2 wheels on the ground so far. But dont make fun of him for trying to learn you have to learn somehow and if your trying to stunt you expect you could fall. at least he was smart enough to wear gear for 1 try it in a controlled area for 2 im sure when eveyone tried to wheelie for the first time they didnt look so smooth and probably werent so smart about it.

Sounds like the fella might be someone you know....[sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]....Making fun of him is ort of merited....you pull wheelies on your 20lb huffy not your 400lb honda....regardless of the fact that he was "smart" enough to do it in a closed area with protective gear.....the fact that he didnt have a clue what he was doing shows that for everything he did right he still messed up where it counts...you don buy a jet without a experience and try to do rolls and be a blue eagle....i respect he did it in a closed place but he shoulda had more info on what he was doing....ill give him the benefit....maybe he just had a sh!tty teacher...[sm=bangbang.gif]
