Nose Wheelies
#12
Well, you guys inspired me to go home and try this out....
So I go out on the Banshee and try it on the level pavement. I probably tried it about 7 times and got absolutely nowhere. I tried various braking pressures, and various speeds, but nothing. I was practically sitting on the gas tank and the thing would just skid. I'm too much of a sissy to actually "throw" my weight forward while braking, but I'd imagine that is what I'm going to have to do.
Anyway, I'm going to give it a shot again tomorrow. Any other tips or anything?
Thanks,

If you are "scared" try it on a bicycle. Once you get the feel for balancing on the front tire, try it again on the quad. I can endo on grass, loose dirt, etc, with my 400EX. Depending on the turf, I usually have to get WAY forward so my hips are hitting the handlebars to start the endo, then when it gets up there, I can relax a little. I can't ride them forward tho, I can only come to a stop, balance for a split second, and fall back down.

i haven't tried it on a banshee but if you just skid your probably gonna have to throw your weight forward. i have a video of a guy doin it on a banshee and he flips it and he flips over his bars then gets up real fast so the quad doesnt' hit him. when i go to far i usually catch the bike with one leg. then push it back down to 4 wheels.

Finally I can do them!!! Yup, Juggalo is right, I had to "throw" my weight forward while braking. Pretty scary at first...it's hard to tell how high you really are. CLICK HERE FOR THE PICTURES!
