i can eaisly do a 150 footer but i never measured i use a trek vert 2

do u sit down when u wheelie or stay standin?

I used to be able to power wheelie about 2 city blocks....and I could easily manual 2 or 3 city blocks....but these days maybe 10 parking spaces....lol....

i can only do about 10 feet, sometimes 20 (i just started about a week ago, and i've been focusing only on barspins) but i just wrecked earlier today, and my parents took my bike away till this gash i got in my side heals. till then, just firecrackers, tv, pc, and Xbox for me.

do u sit down when u wheelie or stay standin?

i can sit down or stand up.....i recently purchased a new bike and its harder to sit so i stand.

i cna ride a whellie for almost an 8th of a mile

I have no idea how long I can. I prefer standing b/c sitting and doing a wheelie is pretty hard.

does nebody no wut the record for longest wheelie or manual is

FROM GUINESSWORLDRECORDS.com:

Longest Bicycle Wheelie Journey
The longest bicycle journey doing a wheelie the whole way was 4,569 km (2,839.6 miles) by Kurt Osburn of Fullerton, California, who traveled from Hollywood, California, to Orlando, Florida, USA, between April 13 and June 25, 1999. "I never knew America was such a big country. You just don't realize how far it is coast-to-coast," he said after his wondrous one-wheeled epic.

I would expect that he would go many miles every day on one wheel before taking a break.

Manuals are a different story as you aren't allowed to pedal. So, that's as long as the hill you are able to find. Probably a couple of miles or something like that.

bmxtrix, you may remember brian scurra had a bike set up to do wheelies way back when. but it was direct drive, I think, so it's kind of like cheating...:)
he had a really skinny wheel on the front, like a sew-up or something, vector bars/stem combo and a banana seat. I don't know how far he wheelied, I think it was more for doing shows with then setting records.

I most definitely remember that, as well I remember some stuff about the world record belonging to Scura and then to some other guy. It was something like Scura had the world record for worlds longest wheelie, then this guy did it a little further, then Scura did it like a couple of miles...

In response the guy did a wheelie for like 62 miles or something ridiculous like that. It was an asinine distnace and completely leveled the old record the Scura had held. The guy basically said "If you are going to go for a world record, then dedicate yourself to setting the world record and stop screwing around."

Wheelies on 20" bikes don't even compare to wheelies done on bikes built and designed to do wheelies on specifically.

they make bikes for wheelies?maybe i read it rong

Does anyone know a website for these "Wheelie Bikes"?

No THEY don't make bikes for wheelies, but people build and setup bikes specifically for wheelies to make the wheelies easier to do and more comfortable to ride on.

They use stock equipment, but put on specific equipment to make wheelies easier and more comfortable. A nice big comfortable seat that is leaned way forward. It sucks to sit on when you ride normally, but in a wheelie, it's at the perfect angle.

Bars that are comfortable, seat at the right height, longer cranks, a better gear ratio... sometimes they use fixed gearing. There is a lot you can do with a bike to make it better to wheelie on.

But we ride freestyle, so we manual. Not wheelie.

I am still learnig to manual I made the mistake of not working on it much

i fell off my bike doing a barhop and i cant manual right now.....right on my @ss

I'm usually standing up when I'm doin wheelies cause my bikes pretty heavy but I can ride a good height when i'm riding manuals.

I tried seein how high I could do a wheelie without flippin it but when I tried holdin it for a good 10 seconds I flipped it and fell flat on my @ss. luckily my mom never found out.

Dont pull up so high, just keep it where the back tire is level and where you can hold your weight.

15 pedals is my longest baby.....ya

wow thats not far

lol haro_rider 15 pedals is ok i guess...

nope it sux but hey, im workin on it

Ya that's all that counts. Keep working at it then you will be able to do it for blocks

i dont count the pedals...........i juss kno i can go far

lol wheelies? this is bmx where talking bout? i laugh wen at a comp or jst riding a skate park and a kid yells "do a wheelie" or asks "how long can u wheelie for?" u ride a bmx manual dont wheelie

lol wheelies? this is bmx where talking bout? i laugh wen at a comp or jst riding a skate park and a kid yells "do a wheelie" or asks "how long can u wheelie for?" u ride a bmx manual dont wheelie

it's good to know that there is someone like you to keep order in bmx(which, last time I checked, didn't have any rules.) so kids don't do the 'wrong' thing.

why is a 'nose wheelie' called a 'nose wheelie' if you don't pedal?

I ride a bmx so I can do what I want, not what the coach tells me to do.

ok i bet u look real cool doing ur wheelies so u keep doing them

damn kid your just tryin to mess with everyone cause it makes u look cool
it DOSENT

sori no more negetive comments from me from now on im here for gud advice for the new ppl of bmx

lol im just makin' a comment......when i joined i did the same thing

dude ur ******ed, if a lil kid thinks a wheelie looks cool and they want u to show them how long u can do them for, u should do em, why not there fun, isnt bmx and bikin supposed to be fun?

i dont find them fun but jst calm down alrite im sori

u callin me a ****** or him? i started this thread before i got a new screen name on this site but wheelies are cool.........i wasnt very good when i made this thread but now i dont do wheelies
im learnin on masterin' barhops.....to tha kids a barhop (sitting on the bars) with your legs out and your hands off the bars looks impresive
considering the kids at my school dont kno anything about flatland or street.......theres 2 trail riders but thats it

tru theres 4 of us at my skool all ride street and park mainly and theres a park down the raod 2, im hopeless at flatland but i can do that barhop thing jst coz it looks funi thought id giv it a try

well srry about callin u a ****** (blackbike) it kinda just made me mad that u were postin in all these forums and not helpin out at all.

are you guys talking about wheelies.. like "pedaling" wheelies? the only bmxers I know who do them, stole the bikes they're doing them on.

whats up with yall....a wheelie is a trick thats fun
most of the people where i live talk down on wheelies but they cant do them at all
i dont live on wheelies
i can just do them far

yea, they are funny, but not a trick, my one gheto friend does them ocasionally for fun or to make fun of people who do them and we all laugh. Never practice them, I'de practice my manuals before a wheelie..

?? its just lifting your front wheel off the ground...

i consider wheelies a trick, they are the basis of manuels. why are people going to make fun of you because you pop your front off the ground?

they are talking about pedal wheelies a.k.a. willies.. not lifting your front off the ground. that would be "popping" a wheelie; not what i was talkign about.

I can only do a wheelie for like 4 pedals :S

But I'm on a mountain bike, and I'm just working on bunny hops lately.

Wheelie- Riding on your back wheel while pedaling.
ok look....wheelies may not be a trick
they may be a trick but i think that all you people who make fun of wheelies say that because you cant do it.....try a wheelie....when you get going fast you'll see its not as easy as it sounds

Funny stuff Bike Guy!! I think back to when my parents used to take my bike away. Mostly for not coming home in time. We would be out thrashin' and not come home until somebody broke something.(Tire, wheel,leg,whatever). Thanks for the laugh and keep crankin, it only gets better man.

well who ever said wheelies arnt a trik anyway, i mean seriously, there is some skill in ridin wheelies, there a trick thats kinda hard to do good on a bike, isnt freestyle basically doin tricks on bikes, hard tricks, easy tricks, flatland tricks, vert tricks, thats wat i always thought freestyle was but maybe there is some booklet i can buy that tells me wat a trick is and wats not, idk, thanx for anyhelp.

wow, chill man, i didnt mean to "dis" wheelies, but I dont think they are a trick.. You ask for a booklet.. but would you say puting your foot on the ground while going really fast is a trick, sure you could call it that. but its not really. Yea, a wheelie is a "trick," but its just a funny one..

and I'm not being an ass here.. but the same person who sarcastically mentioned a BMX "handbook" also asked " is it an u intermediate, expert or pro trick?." I'm not here to cause trouble, I've been riding for a long time so I just have certain opinions.. including this one. I like the looks of this place so far and intend to stick around.. perhaps to learn a little about flatland.. something I dont know about. So for now, just chill.

and out of curiosity.. what style of riding does everyone do.. street, dirt, flatland??

flatland
