HOW TO PULL THE BEST WHEELIES.... 2ND GEAR CLUTCH UP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Hi Guys,
Welcome back to the channel. I've decided to return to Next Level Wheelie school, after last years attempt at doing a few wheelies. I previously got progressively better over the day, so I felt like I needed to return a year later for bigger and better wheelies.
I found the wheelie school helped me with more confidence in everyday riding, also put to use my new dirt biking skills. It's all about taking yourself out of your comfort zone, but feeling safe at the same time.
So have I improved? will I improve? Let's find out....
So sit back, relax and come along for the ride!
I didn’t like school as a kid , but I love this school !,
We need this in Australia 🇦🇺
Lol I couldn’t agree more. This is so addictive, Il be back again next year for another go. 👍
Yall have that wheelie machine over in aus, I've seen clips. Looks like you even bring your own bike to hook up.
me too lol
I had a gssxr 750 when i was 20 that I could wheelie for days. Now 17 years later I have a speed twin and its so intimidating to think about popping it up!
I know what you mean. Well certainly if you live in the uk get yourself booked on this wheelie school, you’ll have a great time or find somewhere quiet and just take your time I’m sure you’ll soon be popping some nice wheelies again.
Wish more places did this
Are you in the uk?
@@thatbikersimonno. I’m in AMERICA
Ditto

This is extremely helpful. I had no idea you just needed to blip the clutch. Hopefully my little ZX4RR has the power to do it like this. My peak horsepower at 14k rpm is what you make at 9k rpm on a ZX6R so I'm gonna have to pre-rev it pretty high first. Baby steps, of course. Apologies in advance to everyone in a 2 mile radius for the noise 😁
Glad you enjoyed it. If you can change your rear sprocket by +3 it willl make alll the difference when lifting the bike, but definitely take your time don’t get frustrated at the start. If you can book on this wheelie school
I’ve got to have a go at this, looks very well organised
It’s the best day out and I’ve improved massively on my return, Il be going again next year. Brilliant fun. 👍
You’re so lucky. They need this in northern Cali. Good job.
I didn’t realise intill recently that there wasn’t many places worldwide that did this sort of stuff.
I went to Wheelie School also in South Florida, I bought a DRZ 400 and learned on that for 2 years, now Im a Master.......
Thank Fantastic. Keep up the good wheelies 👍

Im sure there is a market for this in every country. From experience it can take years of playing around to perfect a wheelie, mostly from fear of destroying an expensive street bike you love. Bicycles and beater dirt bikes helped get it going when i was younger. Never had a beater street bike so being as good as i am now on any bike, with wheelies being second nature and happen regularly not by accident. It was a 25 year progression. It can take a long time. They can expand this thing im sure. Sometimes you dont want to wait for skills so long. My best skill is dog walking the ass end, also started from dirt bikes and one of the first thing i brought to street, but all other skills are great fun too.
It sounds like you've had quite a journey in developing your wheelie and bike riding skills over the years! Your progression from bicycles and beater dirt bikes to mastering wheelies on street bikes is impressive, and it's understandable that it can take a long time to become proficient in such skills. It's great to hear that you've found joy and satisfaction in your abilities. Indeed, there may be a market for training or tools to help others expedite their skills, the difficulty would be getting the land to use. I’m not bad at dog walking to 😂👍
@@thatbikersimon Got my first street bike at 17 from a garage sale for $600., years before a car. It was a mint condition 82 Honda CM 450 custom. It was four years old with 2100 miles on the od. Kept it at a friend's house for months untill I figured out how to get it by my mother. Most skill came riding a 88 Hawk GT 647(Totaled it) and a 86 GsxR 750(Through a rod at 80k hard miles) They are in my blood and the short periods in my life without one I was not complete, 40 years later I still have four bikes all on the sporty side of things. 83 GS 1100E, 92 FZR 600, 03 Buell XB9R and a Show room condition 02 Daytona 955i I found two years ago that had 67 miles on it. Really! I got to break the bloody thing in. So proud and just some of my babies thru the years. To be honest if it wasn't for two wheeled vehicles I would never have gotten stitches or injured and at a hospital at all. They are the only thing that has physically hurt me and I wouldn't change a thing
@@plap. That's an incredible journey with motorcycles! It sounds like you have a deep passion for two-wheeled adventures, and your collection of bikes is impressive. Riding can be both thrilling and challenging, but it's clear that it's been a significant and rewarding part of your life for the past 40 years. Your story reflects the special bond that many riders have with their motorcycles. Enjoy the open road and stay safe out there! 🏍️
When you have a great set of teachers, optimal environment and a great learner, success is imminent! Get some!
Totally agree!👍
Well organized and a lot of fun. It is safe to do where there is no traffic. Got my like.
Well said. 👍
@@thatbikersimon Drop by if you have time. You may like my content. :)
I went to wheelie school at north weald airfield.
It was same set-up but done in 1st gear.
By the end of the day i was getting 100ft wheelies consistently.
Great day. Would defo recommended
This is what I’m taking about 🏍️💨 it’s a great day out. Thanks for the comment. I honestly can’t wait to do another it’s so addictive. 👍
😮 ❤
First gear is king
Stunt Asylum❤
wow! seriously wow! thanks for posting this!
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Fantastic day out the boys are brilliant
Very well organised def going to to go again
It’s very addictive. I think il be make a 3rd visit next year 👍
Cheers. Prolly the most helpful wheelie tutorial I've seen so far...
Many thanks for the feedback 👍
This is awesome I wish places in America did this. I did one of the wheelie trucks once. Where the bike is tethered to a trailer and you practice that way. Not the same.
I’ve had ago on the wheelie trucks it helps with the throttle control but this run way is amazing. The guys there are brilliant instructors. 👍
There used to be a place in NJ that used ZRX1200's and Speed Triples but I think it's since closed. Having owned a ZRX1200 for 15 years I can say that it will wheelie in 2nd gear even without the clutch lol.
Wow you are definitely getting the hang of that!! 🏍️🙌🏼
Like a duck to water biker girl lol 🏍️💨💨
Looks like hella fun. Great job with the wheelies.
Cheers. It’s a great day out. 🏍️💨💨💨👍
Looks like much fun! Great business i would say :)
It’s a fantastic day out ,I shall return next year for a 3rd time. It only gets more exciting for me.
That was so kool
Thanks it’s was a great day 👍
Great video. Very informative. Thank you
Thanks for the comment 👍 glad you enjoyed it
Accidentally hit my first power wheelie today on my vfr8, shit myself! 😅 But now im fueled to learn how to get it up and keep it there. I havent ridden in a few years so could do with a bit more time to get used to riding again but these guys sound great! Might be worth the trip down!
Great vid!
Thanks Mikey. You should give this a try it one of my best day out I’m just about to book on again myself 👍
This is so important - thank you!
Thank you for your comment, it’s much appreciated 👍 ride safe my friend
Great video. Great video
Many thanks really appreciated the compliment 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Looks good that Simon! 👌🏼
Many thanks.. great day out. 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Great fun at least your doing it safe and won’t get nicked.
This is very true 👍
A gr8 vid, very interestiing..
Many thank Steve, so much better the second time round 🏍️💨💨💨
Awesome mate, well done 👍
Thanks you Matthew. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment, It’s much appreciated 👍🏍️💨💨
That dismount!!
That’s the way to do it 👍
Forget the pommel horse in the Olympics I would love to see stunting as a new program.
Looks like fun, you can't ride a wheelie without a balance point. Power ups can only keep the front wheel off the ground for so long (they aren't really wheelies). I know, i cannot do a real wheelie!!!!
This is correct, this was the issue for me over the day, as I progressed the wand kept on bringing the bike back down. This is a good thing of course it builds the confidence for the next level. I shall keep attending this school through each year and then il probably practice on my own dirt bike in a flat field 👍
A wheelie is a wheelie. You literally called it a wheelie and then said they’re not a real wheelie. The only differences one is just a wheelie and the other is riding a wheelie.
We need a school like this in the USA 🇺🇸 I’d study really hard 😂
lol it’s a fantastic place to practice 👍🏍️💨💨
awesome job!
Thanks Patrick. I guess practice makes perfect in this case 👍
good stuff! going to add this to my weekly practice
Thanks for the comment. It’s good fun. Just take your time when you first start and build up gradually. Good luck 🏍️💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon my bike doesn't have enough torque to go up if i momentarily press the clutch, (z650). I have to hold the clutch down longer Mind you, i could also be doing it wrong.
That's lightyears ahead of places that teach wheelies here in Spain. Goddaym
That’s interesting, I thought these places would be everywhere. 👍
Wow you did so good dude!
Thanks!
Nice sir🏍️🤟🏼
Thank you! 👍
You were certainly doing some good wheelies there, It took me a while to find that point where you keep it at a height so the wands don't touch and it just runs out of revs. Its very addictive :)
It’s a great day out, not many places you can do this. I know what your saying about the balance point
New rider here and just bought my first bike. Gonna give myself a few months to get basic riding skills up then definitely gonna hit these lot up to get booked in for next season. So happy i found this vid. Great job mate
Many thanks, really appreciated the comment. You’ll not regret it, but definitely get some time on your bike first. Wheelie school is a fantastic and addictive day out. When you’ve done one you’ll end up doing another. Ride safe 🏍️💨💨👍
Don't worry, if you get your fundamentals really good, this will come naturaly.
Nice work! I’m willing to buy a bandit 1200cc to learn wheelies on it. ( I rode bike 1000CCs for years but I don’t know how to wheelies I was scared to try) so the BANDIT will be my beater bike to learn wheelies
That sounds like an exciting plan! The Bandit 1200cc can be a good choice for learning wheelies due to its power and stability. Just remember to practice in a safe environment and wear proper safety gear while attempting wheelies. Happy learning and stay safe on the road!
@@thatbikersimon So I know that I said I would buy a Bandit 1200cc but I ended up with an R1 01 lol 😁
@@khaledkaissar5263 If you still have money left buy a small cheap bike, pit bike would be ideal and practice doing wheelies until your confident with the throttle/rear brake control, have fun🙂
I bought a bandit to learn. Just a few days ago.
Good progress dude
Cheers matey, felt really comfortable the second time round. I think il need a 3rd visit, it’s realy addictive. 👍
Nice video. Heading to Lyneham tomorrow, hope I do as well:)
Excellent you’ll love it. Let the guys know you’ve seen my video. Enjoy 🏍️💨💨💨
I would love to do this. I have a MT 07 and i pull my wheelies in 2nd without clutch just throttle and rear break if needed. But i feel im doing a disservice by not learn clutch up. Id love to do one of these days
You should do it, you wouldn’t regret it. The Mt07 is a perfect bike for wheeling, and it would probably have more punch that theses bikes. The wheelie school is just a good fun day all round.
Great video..👍🏼😎
Many thanks. 👍
Nice idea, but I learned all on my own.
That's great if you can do that, hat off to you. A lot of people lack confidence and also don’t have a safe place to pull wheelies. My mate was a natural at wheelies until he license got taken.( unmarked car in the uk = instant ban) so this place is highly popular for people to give it a try. I’m doing another soon (next month) and taking my 72 year old mate for a first time, so new video will be coming soon.
of all places to place the 360 camera, on the front?? anyway, loved the video still ha. clutch tip is super important
Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed it
Never liked pulling wheelies, flipped a motorbike as a kid and hurt myself, but this looks fun.
You should try it’s, it’s one of my best days out and it’s safe 👍
been riding for many years, I have a 2001 FZ! Ivans kit. The bike has power. The first time my friend rode my bike rode a wheel for 100 yards on it. Ive always been scared to do them....but want to. looks like the 2nd gear throttle up is the way. so basically your just tapping the clutch right? Great video!
It’s definitely worth booking on if you live in the uk. Otherwise just try and follow my video, but remember one step at a time. In the video we had over 150 goes over the day so be patient with yourself. 🏍️💨💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon thank you. It’s not my nature to rush 😎
I learned on a dirt bike, and it wasn't this approach. Just threw caution to the wind falling down a lot, but dirt bikes are a lot cheaper and the ground is much softer than pavement. Once I got pretty good with the dirt bike, it was only a small learning curve to get on a street bike. To me the hardest part was getting past the feeling that the wheel was higher than it actually is. I'm still not great at them, but good enough to have some good fun.
This day is designed to be safe and basically get people to pop a wheelie to build confidence. There’s many other ways to wheelie a bike but these no place in the uk like this. It’s a fun day out at a great price. 👍
@@thatbikersimon No doubt. This looks like a really good way to learn. I was just pointing out my different experience.
Learning to wheelie too but I'm in of a crash cage. I only know good brands in US. Could anylne recommend good quality crash cage in EU please?
Struggling to bring the bike up to balance point but was using a different clutch technique, can't wait to try this tomorrow, thanks for sharing 😊
Sure, if you're looking for a crash cage in the EU, you might want to check out brands like R&G Racing, Puig, or SW-Motech. They offer good quality crash protection for your bike. Best of luck with your wheelie practice!
@thatbikersimon Many thanks for the quick response:) In most videos guys fully clutch, in your video it is a small quick one, I tried both and my bike barely comes up, I think I am bot doing the gas movement right. Do you let the gas go when you clutch or still pulling the gas and give it a bit more when you clutch?
Brilliant 11mins 30 seconds u smashed it
Cheers Bud..!! I can now see why it worth a second visit. There’s not a better feel than building that confidence up and carrying it through. Don’t get me wrong I don’t plan on wheeling the streets (much lol) but you come away absolutely buzzing from this experience. Many thanks for your comments Steve 👍
@@thatbikersimon I’ve always wanted do it I’ve leant myself on my twin Africa recently in Asda car parks lol it’s dct
What model Kawasaki are these practice bikes based on? Great video! Wish there was a place like this in The States!
These are the ZX6R but Streetfightered the rear sprocket have gone up a size or two to help with the lift. Great place for sure. Thanks for the comment 👍
Definitely could used some schools like that here
Yes I agree, we are luck to have this in the uk. I think theses guys have 3 now and it’s only a could of hours away from me, so il be back again for another go. It’s also great value for money £250 /$300 for a full day including bikes/instructors I think it’s a bargain and an amazing fun day out. 👍
@@thatbikersimon $300 for a full day that's a good deal. In the U.S would probably be 3 to 4 times that since it's all about money here
I like the top yoke and risers on your bike, do you know if it would fit a 1988 GPX?
Sorry I honestly wouldn’t know as these were hired bikes
top vid mate really enjoyed watching it question how many years you been riding also how much it cost ??
Thanks matey, I’ve been riding for officially for about 28 years, it’s cost about £250 for the day but for that you get full instruction/bikes/fuel/ snacks well worth every penny. Get yourself booked on you won’t regret it.
cheers ive only had my big bike 6 months so it will be a thing in the future i would like to get another year at the very least under me cheers for the info keep the vids coming
I only tried riding a wheelie one time on my street bike and my oil light came on and started blinking. I stopped and checked it and it was full. That was probably 35 years ago and I've never tried since
That’s the same for me a was a teenager when I was trying to wheelie bikes. I never thought il be trying again 30 years later, but this place is a brilliant set up for having a go. 👍
Looks like a great time. Good fun man. I have thes same jacket as youI. Those pants look good matched up with it. If you don't mind what pants are they? New subscriber as well man.
They came as the set with the jacket, so you should be able to match them. My suit is at my workplace, Il have look when I go over next. This wheelie school is great fun. I’m sure il be going again next year and welcome to the channel 👍
@@thatbikersimon thanks man I def appreciate it
Totaled my bike after watching this .
Maybe you need to book on a next level wheelie corse
Looks wicked, how much was experience ?
£250 for the day with free tea and biscuits 🍪 👍 worth every penny
Thats awesome im 47 and just would love to learn just don't want to loop the bike
It’s impossible with the wand they use on the bike. It’s realy safe. I’m going again in a couple of weeks with my buddy who’s 72 years old for a first time
So start off in 2nd give it gas up to 6000-7500 rpm and blip the clutch? Stay in 2nd?
This is correct we don’t change gear. The trick is rolling on and off the throttle when your up and just building a bit of confidence each time.
How much wear does this put on the clutch ?. When I was a kid I used to be able to sit on my back wheel on my bmx for ages but doing it on a motorbike I think I’d shit myself just because of the flipping it factor.
I think the clutch wear is very minimal because it’s literally a little tap to bring the bike up, the device on the back of the bike stops the bike going over, it very safe if you follow the procedure
Wish we had such courses here.
Where you at David?
@@thatbikersimon austria 🇦🇹 in the middle of nowhere 😂
@@6t5rxzgfsdchv that’s a great location, believe it or not, the RAF base here complains about the noise 😂👍

@@6t5rxzgfsdchv that’s a shame, I hoping to introduce some bike meet videos in the near future. So hopefully you can enjoy these ones here. Ride safe 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Is it throttle THEN clutch? or throttle AND clutch at the same time??
Once you’ve accelerated up to speed you then cluch up while’s maintaining the speed
@@thatbikersimonare they geared higher (the practice bikes) ?
I wheelied a bobcat once (the small tractor 🚜 trailer )
Nice one 👍
@@thatbikersimon hey you responded! Thanks ! So , I am getting decent at power wheelies in first - this video is helping for sure , since I believe I will have greater success in second because less torque and more throttle leeway .
Thanks for the video - I hope you continue to post more !
Whats the name of the wheelie school and were is it at?
www.nextlevelwheelieschool.co.uk/
Would 3rd better better on a Vtwin ?
On my V4 2nd or 3rd will work fine. You’ve just got to have a little play with it and see what suits you and the bike. Just take your time and don’t rush it. Ride safe buddy 👍🏍️💨💨💨
I was never much of a wheelie guy but found it easy to do nice power wheelies on my old GS1100ET, back in the day. About a 4 or 5k WOT short-shift to 2nd would pull a nice wheelie as I was going around you...
Sounds like you had some thrilling moments with your GS1100ET! Wheelies can be quite a rush, especially with that much power.
@@thatbikersimon I was very lucky to have survived those days...
@@MrSmurfnanne lol I know what you mean. 🏍️💨💨💨👍
So I have the same bike it’s a Kawasaki z1000 an I’ve been looking to put a crash bar on the side but I don’t know where to get them for that bike need some help
Theses are ZX6Rs that’s been Streetfighted
I ride an k1200s, you think I can Wheelie it? very long wheelbase
It’s hard to say I would give it a go though. 👍🏍️💨💨💨
can someone explain how he’s doing it? is he reving it while changing to second gear?
The bikes are locked to 2nd gear only
🏍👍
Hi guys, where is this wheelie school? Would love to book a day with you 🙌
Check out the there locations www.nextlevelwheelieschool.co.uk/
Do they ever pull that wheelie bar off and graduate you to a 12 oclock rev bomb on the balance point?
Yes it can be set to off. I think some guys that have been a few times get to take it off
Had to teach myself how do em.
Your obviously a natural, I’ve never had the natural talent but got mates that can just do it 👍
@@thatbikersimon i transferred from Skateboarding... everything from getting hurt to dealing with 12. related.
I look at it as being a blessed curse.
will this be possible on a 150? Specifically the MT-15?
Honestly I can’t say without ride it. I’m sure it’s possible on most bikes. It’s might be a case of more throttle and sitting right back in the seat.
I can just about get my elbow down, love trackdays but ive never been tempted to get into wheelies on a motorbike. This is odd as love wheelieing my Big Rippee 29er bmx. Somehow i view it as dangerous which is also odd given how fast i ride on the road sometimes.
It's interesting how our perception of danger can vary between different activities. Riding a motorbike and doing wheelies on a BMX bike can indeed feel very different, even if they both have their own risks. Safety and personal preferences play a big role in how we approach these hobbies, I find my newest bikes harder to wheelie, perhaps I know I can’t afford to drop them 😂
So you keep throttle on and pop clutch dont give more throttle at same time as popping clutch
You shouldn’t need more throttle because you’ve already accelerated up to speed, so popping the clutch should be sufficient for the lift, and then it’s just a case of throttle control, rolling on and rolling off to maintain the wheelie.
It would be safer to learn a “slow balance point wheelie” in a smaller bike, when you are constantly on the balance point and control it with throttle and rear break.
This speedie power wheelie looks more dangeroues it wont make anybody a good wheelie guy. Am i wrong?
But of course it has a faster progression in the beginning and make a big smile on your face.
when attempting a "slow balance point wheelie," the size of the bike doesn't automatically guarantee safety. Smaller bikes can be twitchier and more sensitive to throttle and brake inputs, which could actually make it harder for a beginner to find and maintain the balance point. A larger bike, with its increased weight and more gradual power delivery, could potentially provide a more stable platform for learning wheelies.
a "speedie power wheelie" isn't necessarily more dangerous if performed under controlled conditions, such as a closed course with proper safety gear and under the guidance of experienced riders or instructors. The thrill and confidence gained from successfully performing a power wheelie can also be beneficial for a rider's learning curve, encouraging them to continue improving their skills.
Interesting point though. I appreciate other opinions, I Never did wheelies as a youth but I’ve done wheelie school twice and found it very safe and easy under instruction. 👍
@@thatbikersimon Thanks for the detailed answer, my comment didnt want to be a criticism i was just wondering which one could be better / faster / safer.
I should have used the “less powerful” bike words instead of “smaller” but I got your point that a heavier bike can be more stable.
When I started to learn wheelie I had taken a course where I could use something called “wheelie machine” like this: motobsk.com/wp-content/uploads/BSK2204-wheelie-machine-ultra-motobsk-wheelie-trainer-22.jpg
It was a really great tool to get use to the feeling of falling behind the balance point and use the rear break to decrease and stop it. First time it was really scary, everybody lift their legs up from the pegs and gave up whats happening to the fortune.
But of course after you had removed the machine from your bike the next struggle started: keep the bike straight😃
That was my way to start learning it but either way wheelie schools should be much more common all over the world because its pure fun of doing it and this is most important 😃
Sorry I am not a native english speaker but I hope you understood me.
Are those c2’s?! ❤️
Kawasaki zx6 R bikes but be Streetfightered 👍
Don you wear down the clutch very fast when doing these clutch ups?
I guess your probably right but luckily for me these bikes are hired at the next level wheelie school.
my gixxer (2005 750) has 75k kms now and still using original clutch. I think it depends how much you ride the clutch, it needs to be a quick pop like in an instant
Fanning the clutch doesn’t cause much wear, besides clutch disks are cheap…relative to the bike
What is this thing behind rear wheel?
They call it the wand (anti flip device)
It can be adjusted over the day to game more hight without flipping the bike.
How it works? It cuts the ignition?
@@kacperj2 yes exactly that, cuts one first so it’s not so heavy on the way back down.
Good turtorial, I'm trying to wheel my GSR750, the problem is I feel a little unsafe trying it at like 50-60mph but in first gear the suzuki got way to much power to let the clutch slip it's like pulling of a backflip😅
I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful! Wheelies can be challenging, especially on a powerful bike like the GSR750. Safety should always be the priority. You might want to practice in a controlled environment like an empty parking lot and gradually build up your confidence and skills before attempting wheelies at higher speeds. Definitely use 2nd gear or even 3rd. Stay safe out there!
2nd gear wheelies on a 750 is reaching highway speed. I learnt by going about 40-50kmph in 1st on my gsxr750, she comes up real nice and only needs about 20% throttle to maintain it just below balance point@@thatbikersimon
It’s not too much power. It’s throttle control. Even at higher speeds as the wheel comes up you need very fine throttle control. If you can’t do it in first then you’ll likely flip it in higher gears. No substitute for practice. Just like this video shows.
do these bikes have bigger rear sprockets? I have tried following the instructions to a tee on my 636 and I cannot get good results, I can power wheelie it all day in 1st, but have to start at 40mph, to even slightly lift the wheel in 2nd with clutch I am 60+
Yes the sprockets are a lot bigger on the back. Do you live in the uk? Its worth booking on a wheelie school course
@thatbikersimon I do, but there isn't one anywhere near me, sadly. The closest was 2 hours away.
@@user-hh3iv7bz9b 2 hours isn’t far I travel 3 hours to go
I want those 13 minutes back 😅
Definitely
I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 Melbourne but if I want to learn wheelie but I can not find the wheelie school yet ?
And your wheelie school it looks like from the US right ?
This is in the Uk 🇬🇧
@@thatbikersimon oh. 😃
Are these bikes stock gearing?
The gearbox is standard but the rear sprocket is bigger, I noticed on their stunt bike it’s realy big, to give the bien the initial lift. I’m unsure if the front sprocket was different.
Where is this place located?
They’ve got 3 sights I believe. Check the link below www.nextlevelwheelieschool.co.uk/
Can you flip the bikes. Wicked video
No you can’t. Thanks
Wow didnt know the clutch must be feathered and snapped while rolling the throttle
That’s how we do it on these bikes
@@thatbikersimon what's the bike engine cc and I presume the sprockets were swapped to accommodate wheelies
@@realdaybreaker8013 600cc big rear sprocket
Why each time I try to wheelie the front wheel wobbles…(baby wheelies) still learning
Interesting question, I’m not sure on the answer but maybe a steering damper will help.
@@thatbikersimon it has one on it…
Are you coming down on the front wheel with the handlebars slightly turned? That will cause a wobble
What bike is this ?
GSX Suzuki
Where can you buy these wands
I’ve got no idea, most moden bike come with wheelie control so I would just set that to its lowest setting
Been trying this all week thinking whys it not working for me, then realised today that my bike doesn't even have a clutch 😳
Lol 👍
wheelied my way out a stop light by accident one day, havent been able to replicate xD
Lol I’ve done that a few times. This is where things like wheelie school can help.
Wish there was around my area
Do you live in the uk?
Where is this school?

I clutch up in second but nobody can teach you how to not poo yourself. So mine end up a foot at most off the ground.
Lol
Is he going to 2nd Gear by doing It?
@@amaterasu3340 I'm not sure, I start in second as you're obviously going faster. Scarey going faster but it's more stable
it's good, but this is teaching you how to chase a wheelie - not a real wheelie.. much slower progress. They should get the wheelie machine and have you guys reaching BP at slow speeds and getting used to the rear brake. Anybody that leaves this class and try's to wheelie on a busy street, but gives it more throttle - they're gonna wreck.
I get what you’re saying but I think wheelie school is a first step if building yourself up for the next level. Wheelies on modern bikes would make it easier with wheelie control modes. I guess the benefit for the school is you get the opportunity to have plenty of runs at it. I had over 150 goes on the day and you can’t do that in the road. For me personally I wouldn’t want to get into the Habit of doing it on the road as I known guys lose there license for dangerous riding. I’ve had a go on the wheelie machine and it’s great for helping with the back brake. I shall return to the school again next year jusy becauce it’s a fun day out great value for money.

I would use this school & bike and immediately practice bringing it up to balance point at slower speeds - all that going fast and chasing it out - its gonna take you soooo long to learn - this would be the better option to start with, I learned how to ride my wheelies at balance point on my 2021 R1 in 2 days using this

@@stevepest3184 cheers Steve, I was worried about making a sequel to this one, and if one person is happy then I’m happy 👍
@@thatbikersimon I want see more brilliant love these
Did they tell you what speed you had to get up to or it’s up to you?
It was up to us but I’m guessing with the cones out we were similar speeds
@@thatbikersimoninteresting. I’ve only seen professionals teach wheelies from just above idle. This way is new to me
@@Fee.1 it’s very popular and they get good results. Perfect place to have a go
@@thatbikersimon so do you know how to do wheelies from a stop or at idle or slightly above idle speeds now?
