Okay the brake is an aspect of wheelying I've completely left out.
Yes, I've looped twice couple of years ago.
The rear foot brake is just a funky **** angle up on one and I'm pretty ig on the handbrake.
Course I'me just doing the high speeds now.
My setup is up 3-down 2.

in order to have a halfway decent wheelie, you need to be using rear brake to control it...thats just how it goes...i'd get used to using the foot brake...then step up to the handbrake...

gotta learn throttle control and rear brake. they're the foundation to wheelies......

watch Rock the 40 oz.; i dont think there's one hb in that whole movie. its all throttle control.....

how do you set up to the handbrake? im not covering the rear brake like im supposed to so i just use throttle control ... i want to get a handlbrake because im pretty sure it would be easier for me to use that then the stock rear brake

If you're not covering the rear brake during your wheelies then a handbrake isnt for you. Using the rear brake to control your wheelies is the FOUNDATION for stunting....gotta learn it

i found it helpful to tap it as soon as i clutched it up. just to get a feel for what happened.

do that for a couple hours. or days.
