    right iv tried and tried and tried and i cant wheelie my bloody ped! tryed soo hard but i get like half a meter up for like half a second and it drops straight away? its not like my bike is stock, but is there something im doing wrong, im trying to shift my weight back and pull up as hard as i can and obviously pulling back the throttle as hard as possible!.....

    depends what bike it is....

    on a typhoon, its easy 2 pop because there is NO weight @ the front

    where as a runner vx is extreamly heavy it will be harder 2 pop.



    i cant wheelie my vx but ive seen it been popped & it is possible....but some people just dont have the nack...keep trying tho!

    i used to be able to wheelie for a while without using my back brake, but continuously kept falling of, i found u have to get the bike up to the point where it balances well, alot of people think thats the bit when it will flip but u just gota keep at it untill u get the knack butt make sure u use the back brake ovawise u will end up like me with no knees or elbows left

    well... to wheelie try getting the bike up further than it feels safe and then you just use the back brake to keep it from going too far back, but aslong as you have it a bit past balance point it wont wanna come down as much, oh and just keep practising. what bike do you have anyway?

    [jst keep trying mate a couple of months ago i was asking how to wheelie but then i kept trying and eventually you get the wheel high enough but you shit yourself lol but then i did it another 5 times and i cud wheelie for a little while blipping the throttle. and now haha i can wheelie for miles and yes on your knees is alot easier i think its scary at first but then you get used to it. i can even stand on my seat now at wheelie hehe :D
