First *intentional* wheelie

I did my first wheelie on purpose today. I only got it up about 2 1/2 feet but it was pretty cool. I forgot to cover the rear brake but I had no need for it this time. It came up much smoother than I expected after all the failed attempts which seemed more violent than the wheel leaving the ground. there was no mouse trap effect like a hear about sometimes, I guess cause I rolled of the throttle instead of letting it snap back. I'll keep practicing here and there.

Yea you get better throttle control with no gloves....

Man that kid is a moron. Not you the poster, but the dumbass Yut-ugh kid Joey/joey stunts/Sativa7J.

Now are you sure you even got it up that high? Lots of people think the bike comes up that high when they first try and really it's like 6-8". Just asking if someone else was there to verify you actually got it up that high.

I think the 2 1/2 feet is an exaggeration, because other wise thats a pretty big first time wheelie that would scare the s out of you. I remember when i thought i was a wheelie bad ass. then i saw myself on film

I filmed some with my gopro, thought I did pretty well until I watched the video.

Yea get you a camera out there and see. I know when I first started less than 1' felt like 2-3. Really feels like it with the clipons stock and doing sitdowns. Standups don't feel as crazy and if you turn your clipons out it feels more natural like a dirt bike or bicycle riding wheelies.
