Default Wheelies

dude i'm sure that noone here knows any secret to popping wheelies that you don't already know. think about it, if you accelerate hard enough, your going to feel jerked back. so is the front end of your quad. if you move your butt back on the seat, your puting less weight on the front so it will be more likely to rise. and if you pull up on the handlebars it takes quite a lot less acceleration to lift the front end.

I move so far back my legs rub on the fenders, and pull back and gas it...usually pops up pretty far.
When your getting started, find a nice grassy area thats soft and bring it up as high as you can, you may dump it backwards a few times but it aint gonna hurt it.
Do that a couple times and you will find balance point (where the quad feels weightless) then you can wheelie all day long.

actually i do [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] now here's the REAL secret [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and pretty much everything u need to know to do wheelies till u want to take it a step furthur... now ... have u seen my laborday vid i nthe yamaha section(prolyl not since you ride a suzu but here it is) http://www.teamunderground.com/laborday.wmv Stuntin' Vid ok well pretty much there's 2 kinds of basic wheelies there's the stand up, either one foot on peg and other on grab bar, or both feet on seat, or both feet on grab bar (sissies way)) and then there's sit down... Stand up wheelies are much easier than sit down but not always.. You should be learning in grass so when you DO crash ,AND IT WILL HAPPEN!, it won't hurt as much when you do standup first try right foot on peg and left on grab bar... While in first gear pull up and give it some throttle and be ready for it to coem up fast and your foot is on the peg so you can hit the brake and bring the front end down NOW! (to tired will post sit downs in the morning)

460 cubic inch big block sounds beefy but it's a '76..... so it's probably making no more than 200 horse power.... damn oil embargo!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You can actually ride them out? I can pop a wheelie with our tractor, but i cant ride it out. BobCats are awesome for wheelies and stoppies too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
