Default Wheelying 101

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]

Hope this answers anyones questions about how to wheelie, if not, post your questions!!!!!

i fully aggree on your 101 coarse hear. One thing is that if your new you might wanna consider putting a knee or 2 on the seat to help balance it.

One thing I have to disagree with, is that if your real good you don't need to hit the throttle every second or two.. If you really know your balancing point you can leave the throttle at one position depending how fast you want to go.

And if your real good, turn your idle up real high, and you can ride one with no hands! And a low 1st gear helps to.

The rear break is cheating! J/K But it is a good learning tool.
