LOL, I see you edited your post Woo. Thought about it and got a little more fired up eh? LOL. Not trying to raz ya man. I have no doubt you could hand me my *** on one wheel, and with the explanation you gave about re learning when you want to do more complicated stunts, it makes sense. Listen to the man, I have starred in no DVD except for my own for fun. And it wasnt very good. After you win my bike from me, lets go to the track so I can win it back. Sound fair?

i have been watching this thread-i expected smoke!!!
first gix- i have to repair something on your reply-"After you win my bike from me, lets go to the track so I can win it back[sm=shades.gif]"
i think both of you guys are awesome!!double thumbs up
power wheelies are not squid!,but when trying to wheelie inside of a very limited space(like 3-4 parking spaces) then-yes a clutching style works very well!!
it all depends on what you are trying to do and why!!
imo,control of throttle is everything,use of clutch defines it!!!!!

[sm=teetertooter.gif] Ah what to choose? I remember seeing people doing wheelies in their garage so it surely is necessary to have a pretty damn deft touch with the clutch, and you're right, why not start out right to begin with. Alright FINE.........clutch it up. [sm=goodidea.gif]

Thanks for the edit outsider. I couldnt find the emoticon I wanted, apparently dont have it on this board.

 

OH, and one more thing.......

None taken and keep up the good work. [sm=hail.gif]

 

Hahaha, sounds good man! You culd def prolly hand me my *** at the track! And I had to edit, because I type like a retard, but I can't stand spelling errors, lol!!! This is the internet...so remember that I am never too serious... This is why I love the internet, though! Here we can all combine forces and resources so we can all get an idea of what we're doing, whether it be on the track, or on one wheel! [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Since im just along for the ride in this post hehe, i would like to add tho since i asked earlier.

[/quote] What happens when someone has learned a basic wheelie....? The want to learn something else... maybe a more technical wheelie... What happens when that person has been only practicing with power wheelies and they go on to learn something that requires the clutch? They have to learn all over again. Fundamentals and building blocks. If they already have the clutch (which is ridiculously more consistent than powering it up) Then they can go on to learn other techniques and tricks. [/quote]

That just happened to be a very good explanation to my earlier question, or at least something i had not considered. Thanks Tong!!

 

I think the best way to learn a wheelie is on a dirt bike as I did. You can get the feel of the bp point. I just wanted to add that when I started to learn wheelies it was on a 03 zx6r but now I have a 954. I found that a stand up wheelie is easier. I say that cause you have more feel for the wheelie also if your setting down and if your at the bp you cant see as good only if you look to the side. I found that when I do a 2nd gear stand up at my bp my speed is around 70-80 mph and I can hold it there all day baby.

 

Also I would just like to add that you shouldnt be doing wheelies without a steering damper. I mean you can do it but come down wrong and thats your ***.

 

[/quote]And yes for the record, power wheelies are a total sqid manuever. I'm sorry. The sky is blue, 1 + 1 = 2, Elton John is gay, and so are power wheelies. It gets down to this: If you don't master the clutch, you ARE in FACT kidding yourself if you think you have complete control. It is a tool used not only just for getting the wheelie up, but for many other situations. Wax on, Wax off. This statement is NOT pointed at any specific individual. I seriously only am trying to answer a question. What happens when someone has learned a basic wheelie....? The want to learn something else... maybe a more technical wheelie... What happens when that person has been only practicing with power wheelies and they go on to learn something that requires the clutch? They have to learn all over again. Fundamentals and building blocks. If they already have the clutch (which is ridiculously more consistent than powering it up) Then they can go on to learn other techniques and tricks.

If you want to argue the point, then... let's say you and I get together and each pop up say 100 wheelies (to balance point) side by side at whatever speed... The first one that messes up has to sign their title over to the other guy. If you don't wanna do that, I'll do distance, combo, technical, horse, stoppie, acro, burnout, whatever. I'll have it filmed and post it up. -Justin Woo

CLUTCH IS IMPORTANT. It can save your LIFE.
