The way i used to do it on my blaster was i would pull in the clutch, rev it up, dorp the clutch and lean back while still on te throtle, then when i found the sweat spot(spot where it seems taht the quad wants to stay that way, takes practice[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ) i would go on and off the throttle to I got out of the sweat spot(either went back or foward toofar) and couldn't keep it up any longer.

I take it in 2nd-5th, get to the bottom end of the powerband, pump the throttle a few times, hit it and lean back. It gets up pretty quick and I can ride em for a bit. But its on a banshee mind you..

ya i think yours would have a little more power
before i had the extention on the front end would come up a lot easier but i guess the main thing would be practice

If you get on a surface with really good traction and punch it should come upfor sure

Ive never riden a Blaster so I dont know what the balance is like. But with my Warrior I'll stand with my right foot on the rear grab bar rev it half way in 2nd then release the clutch and it picks right up. I can ride a wheelie like that for an infinite distance going only 5-10mph just giving it a little punch when it front end trys to go down. The thing about standing on the grab bar, your weight is holding it up, not so much the balance or throttle, so its easy....
I can ride one handed 1 footed wheelies on the Warrior.

The Raptor is a totally different story, I cant stand on the rear grab bar because it trys to do a backflip on me when I barely touch the gas.

Just keep practicing with the sweet spot like he said. The trick is to find that spot where if you were at a dead stop you could balance on the back wheels. Thats where you want to be sitting.

Have fun, Good Luck!

(My buddy Casey can do a wheelie on my Warrior while laying on the seat using his feet to hit the throttle and using the frame to hold on to. It's a riot.... he falls off most of the time, but its funny while it lasts!)
