Alright, I admit it, I have never been much of a wheelie man, simply because I do not know how to do them. I 've taken the front wheel up a few inches off the ground several times & that's about it. Is there a special trick or technique to hold the bike up on 1 wheel? For a bike forum, I have not seen this topic discussed before. I know I m not the only one out there asking this question....

 

Ya, it's been discussed a couple times There was a video posted up a while back that was informative -- I'll try to find it.

 

How to Wheelie Thread

 

Hi,

I have been looking for the same kind of help...and finally came across this school.... http://www.ononewheel.com ...so I signed myself up for a couple days in June in Pomona,CA....Anyone ever take this ?

 

Get a 2008. It wheelies better than the older models (as demonstrated in this picture). ;]

J/K, they all wheelie the same when you get the hang of it!

 

hehe wheelie schools...

 

u dont need all this..do wheelies for what feels best with u..dumping the clutch or just powering it up..just depends on how each person is..and their limits..

 

Yea but its better than going over to main st and trying to learn them in flip flops and a wife beater.

 

IMO, the best way is to start just picking the front wheel up a little at a time and then give it progressively more power. I am new to it too and can not ride them long but I power it up quite a bit in first. When it gets up real high, I put it back down though.

I have never clutched it up and I am not gonna practice on my 08.

 

start with whatever height you are comfortable with. at that point dont try to go higher. try to keep it at that height longer and longer. when you get to the point that you can run the gear out at that height, then try higher and then keep it longer. keep doing this at you own pace and you will be fine.



THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO COVER (AND USE) THE REAR BRAKE. THIS WILL KEEP YOU FROM LOOPING IN AN EMERGENCY!
