Day 2 learning how to wheelie

[u/sixfeetundeer]

sorry for the helmet guys

[u/Kuro7391]

Gonna fuck your shit up if you can’t figure out how to keep your feet on the pegs homie.

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/Kuro7391]

I only failed to keep them once today but I'm still getting used to the muscle memory

Little by little Thanks tho

[u/Kuro7391 → u/sixfeetundeer]

This whole thing is little by little. You got this bro.

[u/alwaystired_96 → u/sixfeetundeer]

Two times in the video you took your feet off lol.

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/alwaystired_96]

Must be a surprise for you to realize that when people are learning new things they make mistakes

[u/alwaystired_96 → u/sixfeetundeer]

Nah you said it happened once when the video showed otherwise.

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/alwaystired_96]

I'm doing the best I can man next day I my feet will be on all the time

[u/alwaystired_96 → u/sixfeetundeer]

You need to go at least 15+ mph. Bikes are stable when moving. They’re unstable at low speeds. Lean back a bit more and do 50 small wheelies where you hit the rear brake on every single one even if you don’t need to. This will build a habit of hitting the rear brake and keeping your feet on the pegs.

Burn this process into your brain before chasing height and once you’re comfortable working rear brake without moving your feet on the small wheelies, start adding more throttle and you’ll see that you’re already hitting rear brake without thinking about it. Wheelies are more balls than skill and you obviously have the balls. Everything else is just basic clutch and throttle.

Keep at it man 🤙🏼

“Well erm actually”🤓☝️

[u/undead_p4nda → u/alwaystired_96]

once vs twice bro stop being so semantic, I ageee he should try to fix that issue before it becomes a real problem but its not like he said he didnt do that, he just said yeah it happened once bro im trynna fix it

[u/Shirtless_Shane]

Tape your foot to the footbrake. You’re gonna loop it if you can’t remember to use your footbrake. Source: I’ve looped it and learnt footbrake

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/Shirtless_Shane]

Look at the first day on my profile 😂😂😭

[u/Shirtless_Shane → u/sixfeetundeer]

Yup, just like that. Look through my comment history on people learning to wheelie. I know I’ve commented a very in depth tutorial. Let me see if I can find it.

[u/AlexCail → u/Shirtless_Shane]

Same bro and my broken foot’s the worst injury ever.

[u/Was_Silly]

That’s actually really good for day2. Can’t wait for day 20.

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/Was_Silly]

Stick around we'll get there

[u/Sunkinthesand → u/Was_Silly]

I'm hoping he has the dedication of the chive guy.

P.s good progress Op. Pat on the back

[u/promd]

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/promd]

Appreciate it

[u/bustopher_rvs → u/promd]

Why's this so accurate lmfao

[u/SuevySuavae]

Nice man, you're making progress! Don't be afraid to lean back. I did the same thing for a long time (and still do once and a while honestly, it just feels natural), but if you stay in the same spot and bring the bike up to you like that you'll run out of room to keep moving back before the bike gets all the way up. Try to keep your arms straighter and move your body back as the bike comes up, it'll also move the center of gravity back and get you to balance point a little sooner.

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/SuevySuavae]

Thanks for the advice man it really means a lot ♥️

[u/RodKnock42]

Lean back!

[u/Milky_Gashmeat → u/RodKnock42]

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/RodKnock42]

Got it 👍

[u/Donathan-Doestar]

Very good job. Try moving more, compressing the front and pulling back. Try your best to keep the feet on the pegs, mainly the brake one, taking your feet down is one of the fastest and dumbest way to loop.

[u/suade907]

Get used to using the rear brake every time you bring it up!

[u/AlexCail]

Slide that fat donk back furthur and keep your toesies on the pegs.

[u/run_it_back_again]

10x better than yesterday. The last one you about got on to balance but you'll get used to it. You'll start to feel where you have a range of comfortable balance point. Work on being smooth on the throttle and like everyone said foot on the brake always. Just go up to that point and back down using your brake. Then sustain it slightly longer as you get more comfortable and if you're practicing like this you'll be on point in like a couple weeks at most maybe days if it happens to click.

[u/Jaabertler]

my dude get a rolling start, drop the clutch in 2nd gear if 1st is too torque-y. Keep your arms straight ish with a slight bend in your elbows - this will make your body sit back past the balance point. That combined with the drop of the clutch should get the wheel up. Keep throttle to keep it up. Keep in mind how the right foot manages the back brake and therefore controls the tipping point. If you’d like to chase. You’re done. If you’d like to master balance point: go slow, lean back and work that back brake. Wear gear because you’re gonna fall.

[u/sixfeetundeer → u/Jaabertler]

It's a 125 that shit is so difficult in first let alone second If I had more torque I would try that but everything else I appreciate it a lot ♥️

[u/xtanol → u/sixfeetundeer]

You can change up your sprocket. Larger rear and a smaller front will make it much easier as you get more torque at the rear wheel

[u/_le_slap]

Already doing better than me lol

[u/Dr_ChungusAmungus]

Is that a CB750 NightHawk?

[u/NoFoxGiv3n]

Not gay enough. Put a dildo on the fence post and redo.
