I figured out a new way to pop wheelies on my 00' Trail Blazer, i used to have to cut a donut and then shift my weight back to pop a wheelie, and it would barely pop one. but i figured out that if you go kinda fast up a hill and then gas it and shift you weight back it works good, plus these new holeshot xc's help, the titans i had i wore totaly bald. but i can't ride to good of a wheelie because i can't normally get it high enough. but I don't weight that much i only weigh 115 lbs. and i am 15 years old.
If any one has a better way of popping wheelies on an almost stock tb could you please tell me.

I can tell ya the way I do wheelies on my scrambler. Start on a slight incline or especially pavement then site back and push the throttle wide open. On my machine when I do that the front lifts predictablely, when I'm at a comfortable height I keep on the throttle and hold on.

KEEP THE TREND SIDE UP!!!

The best way to do it I found is:To put your feet on the wheelie bar, and make sure your knees arn't touching the seat(only your hands and feet touch the 4-wheeler).Then hold in the hand brake give it a little bit of gas then push down on the wheelie bar with your feet and pull up on the handlebars and you can walk the dog and **** on the cat forever.I find this the easiest way to ride a wheelie.Even more than a manual, because I can hope off the 4-wheeler when standing on the wheelie bar than if I was on a manual and I got it too high and slid off on my butt.

Nauvooguy I like your way better than mine, I had no control in a wheelie the way I do it one time, I hit the gas to hard and the machine fell on top of me. (being on an incline didn't help nether).

It took me about 3 months to figure out that way..hehe..Ive tried it many ways Ive never had my t-blazer come back on me, I stood it up the first day I got it though.I was climbing a hill and I didnt let off at the top and it sat up straight...I fell on my butt, and it didnt feel to good.

Hey Guys~
I jsut happened to be out practicing wheelies yesterday! On my scrambler, I just sit towards the back of the seat, have the toes of my feet on the floorboards and my heels higher on the plastic, and I gas it. I can't go wide open or it will come over on me real quick!! I try to find the balancing point and keep it there. My rear rack is a big help when I come up too far. The machine will rest on the rear tires and the rack! I've managed to ride a wheelie about 120 feet so far. How far have you other guys rode wheelies?

Hold the hand brake. Gas it. As soon as you feel the clutch start to grab, let off the brake & yank up on the bars. Be ready to hit the brake again to keep from going way over. It will really bring it up quick. Farthest I went was maybe 250 yards or so. It really is easy to go for distance once you find the balance point. I am cowardly, so I usually keep it just below balance & slowly accelerate, so the front will always come down just by letting off the gas. Sometimes when the front hits the ground the speedo goes to 35 or better, though. Be sure to leave plenty of run-off space.
