Just like the title says. I have got wheelies down to a pat on the raptor......as long as I keep on shifting up. Slow wheelies on the other hand.....I can not do. I am trying to learn how to put one foot on the grabbar and on on the rearbrake and do a SLOW wheelie. I broke my stock grabbar practicing these (two flips) and now that I have a PRM Desert grabbar I'm wanting to practice these again. My question is....will it hold up if I flip it ALOT trying to learn these?

yeah same hammened here my subframe is warped and i cant affor a new one thank god its not really bad, but anyway, I got a wide grab bar from ac and i can do whatever i want without breaking it off, my friend has no rear brakes on his fourwheeler and he has to use it frequently, nd it's held up around 6 months so far, but I know prm makes a grab bar similar to it, the wide one is that what u have?

Yes it will hold up and yes it will bend the frame. I can see where mine is starting to bend from it catching me on wheelies.

putting one foot on the grab bar is not how you do a real wheelie, so how can you say you have it down? When you can go through all the gears sitting or standing you will have a wheelie down. I also have that bar on my Raptor.
