How do I bust a wheelie on a 600 pound Big Bear 350 4x4, auto clutch. My brother can do it but he won't tell me.

The way I do wheelies is I put my knees on the seat and my feet on the back rack (so if I go back to far I can bail easy, has saved my butt atleast twice), and just crack the trottle on, but be careful, I have had it up on the back rack before. I won't even mess with a clutch. You can see a wheelie pic of me on my recon at http://ncup.8k.com
WARNING!!! don't do anything you can't handle, and if you do go back to far tap the back brakes. Also, DON'T use "poping" the clutch technique, especially on a heavy ATV. It will tear up you clutch make you pay alot in repairs.

My 2000 SP500 will do wheelies while I am sitting in the seat and just gasing it. It will flip backwards if I don't let off the throttle. I have to pull up a little harder but it will even do it with my 27X12-12 Vamps on the front.

my brother does it by popping the clutch he's only did it a couple times not want to mess the cluch up but when you pop the clutch you heard a kkkpop sound it doesn't do when he does it. Well he has good timing I guess. Oh, man I hit the little launch ramp today and used a little 3 inch hill to use as a landing. I hit it wide open going 42-43. When I landing it is perfect not even almost bottomming, soooo smooth. Then I got a longer start and went about 45 and over jumped the landing man did I ever bottom out. I probably got about 2 feet of the ground too(not that much). That quad bottoms out bbbaaaadddd. When I over jumped the landing it the shocks let out a HHHUUUGGGEEE kkbmmm cry. It don't have rubber to bottom out on. But I measured from the jump to the landing 25 feet! I need to stopping being so rough on that quad.

Last winter I was out on a frozen lake with some ridin' buds. My friend Josh and His wife were there. She rides a Recon and he rides a 400EX. Another friend, Jeremy, also rides a 400EX. Jeremy and I stop to chat and rest. Josh hops on the Recon and starts riding a wheelie. We are like "cool"!... So, Jeremy and I are talking about pipes, and power and what not. We look up and Josh is about a half mile away, still riding a wheelie! We watch a bit more and Josh drops it and heads back. He stopped because his arms are numb from hanging on! The lake is about 5 miles across, and I am sure he could have went the whole way if he had stood on the rear rack so his arms didn't get so tired!
