Buy a 110 so u can urban ride, I only get to ride once every 3 weeks, kids work projects we all know how it is! Once I got a 110 I could pop out at night to pump tracks or skate parks, it’s seat time during the week so it all helps !

It's crazy most people do need to practice and get a lot of seat time to ride nice wheelies, we had a friend who rode for the fist time at 16 and with in a coupe days he was riding amazing wheelies, fast, slow and all the way at the balance point aka "the flip zone" he was a natural 💯 some people are naturals....
A lot of people have been DMing me asking how much the course is going to cost. I haven’t decided yet on the final price, but it’s not going to be that expensive and there’s also going to be a payment plan in case you don’t have enough cash saved up.
Coming from someone who is in the Bikelife lifestyle, where all we do is wheelies in the streets with tricks(combos) the first tip was useful but the main focus here is REAR brake that’s the life saver and you must get muscle memory of rear brake so when you hit balance point you body reacts for you and presses rear brake for you sometimes w/o your knowledge henceforth the muscle memory
Can you make a video for the family so I can get a dirt bike i have been watching for a long time and I have had a four wheeler but now I want a dirt bike PLEASE
This is all true and great advice, however; If you're 90lbs on a bike with 7 hp, forget it unless you whiskey throttle and dump the clutch, then, maybe.. If you're 190-240lbs, on that same bike, with 3 1/2 hp, you can simply wheelie using your weight and lightly throttling up. 😂
I appreciate your guidance but ur bike is Enduro bike , those who use AVD (390 KTM and beyond) due to weight and not free popy throttle response it's hard to do wheely on a trail when required . I expect you will discuss on it in your tutorial . Lastly thanks for your tips , I am practicing it's giving confidence but due to weight, hard front suspension and lack of throttle response it's not happening with my KTM 390 ADV
Here i am with a skin loss hand. Skin loss elbow, knee, one butt cheek and calf. How did I F up my wheelie. Side tip don't just start wheelies on tarmac use grass.
With fuel injection keeping the balance point is even easier as the throttle response and torque curve is incredible. Imagine the old dudes who could walk a vertical wheelie on a 79 RM 125 with drum brakes. ..the broad power curve of a dremel tool and poor brakes compared to hydraulic disc. Doug Domokos mastered the old bikes...legend.
Lmao so true practice practice practice is the only way to get better at riding your bike . I love watching all the wipeouts my son has while practicing but he’s getting better then I am now at riding he uses a lot of your tips thanks so much for all the riding content you have on your Chanel
As a vet rider I love to practice wheelies. I am slow on the track but I know alot of fast riders that can not do wheelies. As a vet rider I will work on an episode for wheelies. My channel will be up soon...check it out.
Tyler - can you comment on the bad habit of ‘bailing out’ when trying to learn to wheelie? Seems to me that if you just go for it, and bail out / let go when the bike comes up high, you just reinforce a bad habit - could you include this in the material if you agree? Just sharing one persons perspective. PS - I have been riding Dirtbikes for 50 years. 😎
If ur bailing on the wheelie your missing the post important part of the wheelie which is covering the rear brake to prevent looping put. This is a muscle memory skill and should be one of the first steps to mastering the wheelie.
Real problem with doing anything dirtbike related is having a no member$hip place to ride that doesn't take hours to get to that costs 50 bucks to suck once a month without your friends and family. Guess this wheelies class opens the door to the mostly untapped 3oclock boys urban view demographic that keeps the impound lots full of stuck in limbo bikes with low use suspension waiting for some dickbag mayor to crush them with tracked machines instead of using all that energy for something positive like community designated tracks/ moto parks for America's truly favorite pastime.
It would mean a great deal to me if you would make a video on what to do in the winter for some of us riders who can’t afford to travel to warmer climate places to ride during the winter
@@jaydenplayz4062 when first starting try steep hills like 60 degrees, where you are basically doing a wheelie just riding up it. This allows you to get to the bikes balancing point with less effort and you can get more comfortable with your bike. Then you can work your way smaller hills, then flat ground.
Does anyone know if his class addresses inconsistencies in controls? My issue is wheel height is unpredictable. Sometimes correct height, sometimes barely off the ground, and as far as I can tell my speed, rpm and clutch release are consistent between attempts...
sounds like you just need to be conscious of how much gas your giving it as it comes up and adjust accordingly, it doesnt always come up the exact same, and chances are it could be your body positioning and how bent your arms are. also you can try without the clutch if you think its messing you up
I learnt to wheelie on a 110 it’s just time 18 months ago I couldn’t wheelie at al,l then I moved to acerage and could practise about 15 hours a week .. once I got the back brake down pat with out thinking about it.. all of a sudden I was wheeling the whole paddock now i need more room… it’s just time if you don’t ride every day it will take years
@@klintthompson5535 depends what bike. My 450 can power wheelie in 3rd and 4th, but needs clutch in 5th. You need a lot of body positioning to get the front up though
Hey Tyler, I try to learn Slow wheelies but I don't want to do it to often because I'm worried that I smoke the clutch on my 125 2 stroke. Do you no if its bad for the clutch?
Any time you use the clutch it will cause wear but it’s not a reason to not practice wheelies. It won’t completely smoke the clutch though, just be careful to not overheat the bike because going slow while using the clutch heavily will cause the bike to get very hot very fast. As long as you let the bike cool off you should be good!
I have probably spent 20+ hours just practicing wheelies on my yz 125. I have felt no difference in the clutch. I usually only do slow wheelies. Focus on compressing the rear shock as you dump the clutch, then you will have to barely even rev the bike to get it to pop straight up which should cause the least amount of wear to the clutch. On my 250, if I compress the shock enough I don't even have to use the clutch.
You either have the skill or you don't. Luckily I can stand up wheelie a supermoto for blocks and it's not even much the balance it's more the rear break control and confidence
Done a couple on a mx quad, then done a couple on my bike, would like to find a long stretch of flat land to get the balance right. Dirt is better than pavement when crashing
