i just switched to risers last week (giving them a try, and so far loving them for urban riding) and the temptation to try wheelies again was too much - this afternoon i definitely rode the longest wheelie of my life (not very long at all, mind you) down my street as pedestrians gawked (laughed) at me.
then i nearly fell off backwards and ruined the look of the whole thing. d'oh!

Jesus... Have any of you ever been to Brooklyn? There are 12-year-old kids who will wheelie their ****ty BMX bikes from Atlantic to Flushing - about 60 times further than Mr. Youtube there.

Kyle, is that wheelie-ninjutsu you're doing in that 3rd pic? If not, could we HAVE some wheelie-ninjutsu?

Anyone else seen the video with this guy talking about being the wheelier master? He rides his bike without a front wheel, and can ride them no hands forever.
