When I has a kid I did them on a bike like this '71 stingray. It was wicked easy!
Yeah, StingRays are Wheelie machines

I got a new grape repop for my Wife and looped it before I got out of the driveway
Just sitting on the back of the seat pretty much got the front wheel up.

Do you remember the crazy wheelie bar attachments they made for them in the '60s ?

Your spot in the Caste system of your neighborhood was largely based
