Best way is to go out, and pop a wheelie, and fall of the back of the bike a few times, you will learn that it dosn't hurt at all and you'll gain some confidence.

be prepared to drag the rear end/rear grab bar a few times...happens to the best of us, doesn't hurt much,

best of all, provides war wounds to brag about [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

So then don't do wheelies. Your gonna screw up your plastics, your gonna screw up your grap bar no matter how good you get.

Get a few of your friends and let them help you pick up the front end of it. Put it back on the grab bar and just look at it. If it doesnt touch there then it wont touch when you pop a wheelie. Best thing to do is put one of your feet on the grab bar so if you do stand it up you can put your other foot down and push it back over without you falling off.

If you are just learning to ride a clutch why do you want to start popin wheelies? Any ways just give er sum gas and pop the clutch. And have fun. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
