Nice video, ever look into a Sticky Pod? I have one for my race car and it will stick to the side of my door going 120 no problem with my video cam attached. Just make sure you use the lanyard and tie it off somehow incase "something" goes wrong with the mountso the cam wont hit the ground it'll just hang to the side. www.stickypod.com I think

Nice, I like it... All my friends that are giving me tips on doing wheelies are telling me to like... Pre Rev it a few times before I let the clutch out, I don't hear you revving it at all. Why is this?

Music im not sure what to tell you except that you dont need to. Looks like you have a 600, at most in 2nd or 3rd gear you may need to accelerate a bit or give a little bounce to help. I have never heard of pre revving though.

Snow if your scared you need to take baby steps and learn to get over your fear, or its just not for you.

So what your doing, sounds like you get it to a medium RPM in a lower gear, pull in the clutch for a split second while keeping the throttle the same, then letting it back out. Am I correct? Do you dump the clutch, just let go, or do you let it out with your finger fairly fast?

I am glad I came to these forums because my friends never mentioned to me covering my back break, It is something that just doesnt come to mind when im practicing, so I need to develope a good habit of covering my back break when im attempting wheelies.

Is it easier to do wheelies standing up or sitting down? Apologize for the questions in the wrong thread and wrong section but im just trying to get these out of the way for tomorrow when we go out riding

Its supposed to be easier standing...but you need to do what is comfortable for you(sit downs for me) Slipping the clutch is easiest with one finger(the pointer) i found out how to start learning wheelies by making my bike "sound" like the ones who could do wheelies...and learned from there

The only wheelies I can do are the un-intentional ones at the track between 1st and 2nd. If I try "intentional" ones, it goes ugly.
