you(meaning every one) should get theird heads kicked in for wheelie-ing anywhere.

on my race bike now probably 200ft, and my new haro f2, lets just say i need to get used to it

im rilly sckechy on manuals, i here some ppl sayyen they can manual longer that there weely(not bein rude or any thin)but like wats the teck to keepin the front up, cus it sucks when ur goin and ur wheel dosent com up but i try it ugan and im on my A** be for i no what happened, so some tips would be helpfull!

hey, i dont even bother dealing with wheelies. if i flatlanded, then i would concentrate on them more, but i don't. i can't even get two pedals in on a wheelie.

Can you make an effort to type so that others can understand you?

I can wheelie like 100 feet and manual like 300 :D

DUDE, THAT IS AWESOME! Can you give me any tips on doing manuals? I would really really appreciate it, I'm trying to get better at them myself! I know I might sound kind of lame, but bear with me here that I only just got my bike under a year ago, and it's winter here so I havn't been able to ride near as much as I'd like to. I'd be greatful for any tips on manuals or wheelies. (although, both are best! :) )

bend your knees

Like on manuals? I think I get what you mean if you're talking about manuals, because I almost always yank up, and lean back, but I keep my arms and legs straight. Is that bad?

You don't yank up on manuals, you lean back. If your body is rigid, then you don't have any control of the trick. Watch some street videos of guys doing manuals. The good guys are tough to watch because they are to good... but the guys who are a little more sketchy with manuals, you can see how they are moving their body all over the place to work the bike.

So, you lean back and keep your body loose, but in control. Ready to move in any direction you need to, whenever you need to.

Oh, and practice for a few years.

Huh, ok. Thanks alot for the tips, I really need them. (But didn't we all when we first started!) This stuff may sound basic to you guys, but it sounds freakin' hard to me. I don't know, like you said a few years of practice, and I'll probably be doing 100 foot manuals. LOL Maybe.... (Ok I added the 100 foot thing) But anyway, thanks. :)

I've been flatlanding for 18 years - I still can't do a regular wheelie. Flatland bikes are worse than street bikes for doing wheelies on. Our seats are to low, the bikes are to small... It's tough to get a solid controlled crank going.

That is interesting BMXTRIX, I didn't know that. I can usually only go about 20 feet, but some of my better ones go 45 feet. I know, it stinks, but it's a start. I can only manual like 4 feet! Now that REALLY stinks! LOL :) But I have noticed that when I started practicing manuals I got better at wheelies. So it must be something with balance.

my longest wheelie is half a mile and my longest manual is 20 or 30 feet ive been biking for about 3or4 months

I hope you get struck by lightning.

Way to go noob.

True Dat.

why do people have to post on threads that are so long dead?

why should i get struck by lightning? this thread is longest wheelie?

why should i get struck by lightning

Start off by reading the date of this thread.

My ability to do wheelies is surpassed by none!

So, I'm locking this thread :) .

If anyone can do a wheelie of more than five miles, take some video and get back to me.

Thanks!
