Default raptor riders...

Ah ok, thanks. Wish I could hold a wheelie. Everytime I get scared I will flip over backwards. Is there some secret? I can do one a dirtbike decently and I can do it ok on a quad I just can't go as long as I want like some people do.

That's what my friend says. He says don't worry it won't flip but I get scared. I'll try it again when I get the next rappy hopefully this weekend. Thanks.

it wont fall back on you, the bar on the back restrains that unless u do it really hard!, i fell off didnt even hurt...it idoled a lil ways then stalled......the bar didnt even bend you couldnt even tell what happened

The rappy's wheelie "sweet spot" is a little higher than some of the other quads out there, therefore giving the impression that it's about to go over backwards!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] But it doesn't!! (most of the time!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) Good luck with the wheelies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The trick is just being calm and knowing that your grab bar will ALWAYS keep it from flipping on a level surface. Just slide to the back of the quad outstretching your arms as far as you can and find a little under the balancing point. Then just keep giving it gas every second or two, without letting it get too low making you have to accelerate alot just to keep it up. The best way to practice is by trying to maintain your balance, while maintaining a low speed. A field is a great place to practice. You going to fall the back alot while practicing, but just know the quad wont come down on you. Once you get it right(its unique on every quad) it'll be as easy as riding a bike, and youll be able to catwalk for as far as youd like. Just devote a couple good hours to it, and before you know it, you be a pro![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
