The longest wheelie I have ever rode was @ a mile and a half, on pavement, 5th gear wide open on my Raptor. The only reason I qit was my arms were getting tired and my room was running out!

 

100 feet maybe?? Not a great wheelier

 

across a lake. I dont know how long exactly...

 

probably 150 feet at most...trailblazer (stock) isnt to great for doin the wheelies!

 

I'm still doing it.

 

How long you ride a wheelie isnt as impressive as what you can do while riding a wheelie, ex.- switchback wheelies, nohander wheelies, highchairs, switchback highchairs, cliffhanger wheelies, one i cant really explain how you do it but it looks cool as crap, wheelies through gears, 2 or 3 person wheelies, endoes, the list goes on. Back to topic, i can do a wheelie as far as the terrain lets me, i have ridden them all the way across someones front yard (about as long as a football field) and the only reason i stopped was cause i was out of room. Im guessing, ive ridden one too long to measure. If you want tips to learn how to ride different wheelies and learn how many there are go to this site and click on Street Freestyle Tips.

 

hondaracer is right...a wheelie is a wheelie, its really cool when you first learn it and a very easy way to impress "normal" people that dont ride, or girls[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]...but get into the freestyle tricks and you'll see its ALOT funner to mess around with....and once you get the balance point you could ride pretty much forever or your arms get tired...my farthest was about a mile...the road infront of my house, dropped it cuz i was getting tired and my arms were about to give out

 

whats the best gear to ride a wheelie on a raptor in?

 

I can wheelie as long as the road is.. once you find the balance point you can go forever.

 

to answer the raptor question, my friend has one and actually all the gears work pretty good...for a beginner i'd suggest first or second to get a feel for the quad, but after you learn them pretty good try stepping up to 5th, the faster you go the better it looks and the bigger rush you get
