Hi the other day me and some friends went out and had been riding throug the creek. I was wondering how to do a water wheelie because I couldnt do it at all, even after pumping the tires up. Thanks a lot.

Its all about traction and power. Mud tires give you the traction and you need some power. For the easiest water wheelies get in rack deep and gun it.

I don't know if you can with a utility machine without a bump or something to bounce the front end off of under water. I can do it on a sport machine, I have my weight back because I put my feet off the back of the seat, they stay drier. There is more resistance in pulling the front end up, so take it easy until you get the hang of it. I kind of thought about what could happen if you got it too high, the machine could end up on top of you pinning you under water. I do agree with the traction issue, I had good footing where I did mine, I think it would be harder in a rutted, or soft bottom creek.
