no handed wheelie pull up
I've seen people pull the front wheel up for a wheelie without using their hands -- how do you do this?

i can do it from a trackstand. put your good foot at 12 o'clock lean back and crank down.
i guess just apply that method while riding and you can do a wheelie.

doesn't matter the ratio....'s the same thing as wheelies...if you're trying to do it by pushing down, you're doing it wrong...gotta shift your weight back...that's all it is

if i even attempted this i can assure you i'd be on my ass with my bike on top of me because my clipless pedals stayed clipped because it wouldn't be a hard fall haha.

i found out, just focusing on pushing down was quite hard. if you focus more on pulling up with your back pedal it helps heaps with the torque. lean back + technique!

Well, I suck at wheelies so I don't even try but I can hop the front wheel a bit just by leaning back suddenly... even on a fw while coasting. Add a push on the pedals and very short wheelbase, and it shd not be too difficult to wheelie.

I can pop the wheel up, but can't keep it there at a standstill.
(Can't hold a moving wheelie either, tho)
