    Are you trying this on a closed public/ own piv road? With an ambulance round the corner.

    Practice!

    Enough practice you'll learn, not too much too soon.

    Good idea to do it off the road!!!! ????
    I don't mean to sound like a party pooper fella, but doing wheelies ect on the public roads is illegal. Dangerous/reckless driving. At best you fall off no damage, worst you lose it and end up dead, young scooter riders automatically get a bad rep from the public/press, and this sorta stuff don't help.
    Keep it strictly offroad and with the land owners permission! ;)
    Good luck with it tho fella! ;)

    DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE YESTERDAY!!! - do it on grass or not at all!!! its not worth having to fix;
    *exhaust
    *rear light
    * indicators
    *broken arm


    however from my practice i learned that wheelies work best if you start with your feet on the floor then rev high so the front wheel comes up, then just before you feel like the scooter will go without you, lift your feet up and sit really far back on the seat.. also !keep your left hand over the break lever!, and pull it if you feel like your going tofall

    Yeah, dont wheelie.

    While we are at it, dont do the following: break the speed limit, fit exhausts that are noisy, modify your suspension from standard, tune your engine in any way if you can not leagally ride it when its finished, modify your bike in any way without telling your insurance company, fit 70cc kits if you are only 16, do stoppies, try to get your knee down on the road, ride in any way that may offend little old ladies, question ANYONE in authority or wearing a uniform (they are better than you, you know). In fact just give your bike away and buy a nice little brown Rover 214 with a panama hat and a nodding dog in the back.
