No broken fenders.. Looks like some wheelie progress to this dude!!!! A little front and or rear brake dab. when your weighting the suspension right before the clutch pop. is a game changer!
first off, try finding an uphill slope to practice on. much easier to learn while going uphill. Then start by popping it up and then "slamming" it down with the brake. protip is to drag the brake all the time, its probably not good for the brakes long term but when you are learning it is reducing yourisk of completely losing the brake. slamming it down and draging the brake will give u some sort of muscle memory connecting your head to your hands and foot. when u start getting a feeling that you have brake control u should try to do first gear sloooooow wheelies just trying to stay as close to the balance point as u can. still on a slope. this is the scariest step because it feels really wierd and scary to hit the balance point but u just have to push over that point and after that you just have to grind to control speed etc. then youre good to go. i've done this on bicycle, small moped, big moped and mx bike and it is the best method in my opinion. btw idk if u already do this but wear a backbrace because it gives u lots more confidence.
Man, I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video for over a year! You just need to do it more often, get out there for an hour every day, after a month you’ll be doing a wheelie around the whole yard. I’d keep watching these videos.
There’s a really great video by a guy called corkycanstunt. He breaks it all down into 8 steps. Some of them may seem a bit trivial and boring but they really help with teaching you the muscle memory you need to get used to the back break control. You’ll probably never loop the bike again if you learn it in the right order. How I learnt to wheelie my supermoto not looped it yet. Loving the content! Keep it up. It’s making me really want to start riding enduro!! Looks like such a laugh.
I actually enjoy these training videos Mr. Marvis. Bought the wheelie bar you used previously and it's on my 300xcw, works great to give that little bit of confidence. My advice is to keep using it brother, it really works. Don't get me wrong I still suck but just a little less so every day. Remember this is a confidence thing, I've seen you ride and you're plenty talented.
haha, loved the original wheelie series because i was doing the same thing. I can say that the bike is better than you had on the first videos but, the rider is pretty much the same😂😂. What i like to do on slow wheelies is hit the front brake to compress the forks and on the upstroke do the clutch and gas. But honestly on a 450, you really don't have to try very hard. Good luck bud and see ya on the next one.
Oh mate , I feel your pain , could never wheelie my old chopper ( yeah , I am getting on a bit ) and still can't wheelie my dirt bike . Only time I got near I grabbed front brake as wheel came down and got a fractured nose to show for it.TPI Dude.
Dont hop on your foot mate. Drag it instead and try to have your arse on rhe seat. 😀feet are only training wheels they shouldnt do the work your balance while on the bike is. Try it, im not an expert and I love your vids
I can't wheelie my beta I mean I can a little bit the powerband is so aggressive might need to turn it down tbh and yes 300cc 2 strokes are a handful at the best off times
Ya know the difference between you practicing wheelies and me practicing wheelies? I didn't video mine lol. You really captured my pain. I am not meant to do them, but I keep practicing. Love the videos 👍
i know this video is old and youre a bit better with wheelys now but your problem here was you where hopping on your left leg instead of keeping your bum planted and weighting the back wheel..try sit and just drag your left leg if you cant get it up, dont hop. might help get used to that sweet spot
try to find a steeper incline it makes things easier at the start ..Once you get the feel of the balance point it will be like a light switch and you will go forever ,its all about thoughtless actions soon you wont think about it and it will be easier .... but the steeper incline is the best way for me anyway to start ..good luck ,
if i have to be honest i learned wheeling while riding, I never actualy went and practiced it i practiced while i was riding with my buddies, like if we find a long straight road we would all just mess around and do wheelies and shit but yeah
Great videos buddy as always my advice would be try and let the bike come up to you rather than trying to pull on the bars and with one leg down try and allow your foot to slide across the ground rather than try and run with the bike in the air it feels weird to start with but you will gradually put less pressure on the foot that is on the ground being able to skim across then you will be able to lift your leg as you get used to it with practice and then keep your foot on the pegs hope this helps
you gotta get brave enough to pull it up to the balance point. otherwise you will have to be on the power to keep it up and your speed will get out of control. get used to good brake control before trying to get to the balance point though so you arent buying new rear fenders every week
Don’t start off a stand still go like a alright speed in first then pop the clutch an stamp on the back brake you need to start rolling so you don’t pull to the left
What really helped me, and how I would recommend you learn wheelies is by doing the following: So I did a lot of mental preparing before actually doing balance point wheelies. The whole time, while I was going about my day, I was contently imagining myself pressing the back brake in a wheelie. When I say that I mean every ten minutes, I thought of it, for about 2 months. I really didn't want to loop my bike cause it has a number plate and just a bunch of stuff that's going to break if I looped it. So I really prepared myself properly. (I learned on a Honda XR125, a bike with 11hp that weighs 25kg more than most dirtbikes) And then I started to go towards the balance point, and just started using that back brake, like I trained for years. So that mental training really helped. Obviously with the XR being a very very hard bike to get up into a wheelie, a very hard part with it was first learning to get the front wheel up. But of course with a bike like yours with more than enough power, getting the wheel up isn't the problem. Then from there I just practiced. First just in first gear, cause it couldn't pic up in any higher gear, then learning to switch to second while wheeling, and then I got a Yamaha DT175. A very similar looking bike, but tonnes better, with more HP and only 107kg. That is about what a modern enduro bike weighs. And then I realized what I was missing out on. I instantly started learning circle wheelies, because the DT did it sooo effortlessly. The XR just wanted to go straight. It took me like 3 days to get used to the more power, now 17,5hp, and then I was doing wheelies up to like 3rd 4th gear. The XR really thought me the technique because it is such a s*hit off road bike. Now I can do circle wheelies, pivot turns, wheelies to like 4th gear and about 85kmph. So I would really recommend you prepare and train yourself mentally. Then you can learn wheelies without ever crashing, if you're very carful of course and take it slow. Until this day I only looped out once, and that was when I got so slow in the wheelie, that I pressed the brake, but it wasn't enough. So I slid off the seat and stood behind the bike with my hands on the bars. Then letting the front wheel drop down to one side, never falling over. So my bike didn't even get hurt.
Haven't practiced since the last vid? I thought you were secretly getting good at it then going to surprise us. But then an eternity went by and I figured you were never going to try again.
Man get a Rekluse rear brake and you will love love it. You still have the clutch up there but one a wheelie or big down hill you have a easy rear brake right there
If you've got access to a light sports quad, learn on that first - you'll be able to loop it out slowly and it'll just sit on the tail, kick it over and try again, and again, and again. You'll be learning just the one axis (throttle/brake) instead of both balance points (throttle/brake & left/right), learning incrementally helps with confidence, learning consistently helps with progression.

i just went outside to try and wheelie my 300 and idk if a chest protector is what your talking about but it sure did give me way more confidence.
Respect to folk who are good at wheelies and respect to you for showing how hard they are. Love the content.
No....keep showing the videos!
I've been behind on watching my UA-camrs lately but Midwest never ceases to amaze, make me laugh and entertain.
Keep it up xx
Aww, I can't put in for the giveaway because I don't have instagram. I still liked it though!
Man I haven't even seen the video yet but I'm just gonna leave this year👉This video is absolutely awesome🔥🔥
Literally all his videos are fire ight
Man, I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video for over a year!
You just need to do it more often, get out there for an hour every day, after a month you’ll be doing a wheelie around the whole yard.
I’d keep watching these videos.
Sorry my UA-cam weren’t working so only just saw tube vid
What matters is that you keep trying. Someday it will just click for you.
Get Jarvis to give Marvis a lesson in the back yard.
Why are u trying to wheelie from standing in place get going then pull up into a wheelie
First person on it lets go love the content

Looks like your doing them downhill,, do them uphill it’s easier.
It is uphill

Man loved that meet up at saint wells can’t wait for the next and I’d love to win the give away for my brother pls we’re both big fans
Yo i might be getting a bike soon i might come out on a ride
Your wheelie crashes are so famous that Chris birch shows your video to tell how not to do it. You still trying after all those fails is commendable.
Don’t even know who Chris Birch is. I’ll have to find him
Great practice. I just need a few hundred like that and I'll be good. 💪
What was wrong with your bike in the last video when it was running like shit?
Crank sensor
Got myself a 300, after 2 good practice sessions my fork seals broke😆 (where old seals)
Hahah another great video 😝 can always count on you for the laughs 🤙🤙
you didn’t snap a guard so definitely have improved since last series 🙏
Haha just about to go and practice wheeles myself just having a poop not to shit myself during
Thought I was almost vertical the last time I popped the front wheel up. .... looked at the film and I was about 2 foot up : / lol
learn to drag the left foot instead of hopping which is upsetting balance of bike ...practice practice practice ........
Oh mate , I feel your pain , could never wheelie my old chopper ( yeah , I am getting on a bit ) and still can't wheelie my dirt bike . Only time I got near I grabbed front brake as wheel came down and got a fractured nose to show for it.TPI Dude.

Love all your videos, thanks for the chance to win some merch! Looking forward to the next video! 🤙🏼

You really captured my pain. I am not meant to do them, but I keep practicing. Love the videos 👍
It’s backk!
Let’s go who is here from the USA
Marvis!
Tpi baby!
You should do review on wheelie support kit that's for sale on amazon
I can wheelie 4 strokes fine, got a KTM 300 and it's all new to me. You aren't alone.
Bro I actually need this and love ur content been subbed for about a year now 🤟
i know this video is old and youre a bit better with wheelys now but your problem here was you where hopping on your left leg instead of keeping your bum planted and weighting the back wheel..try sit and just drag your left leg if you cant get it up, dont hop. might help get used to that sweet spot
Keep up the hard work. It will pay off. I’m learning still and on a yz125 is kinda hard
try to find a steeper incline it makes things easier at the start ..Once you get the feel of the balance point it will be like a light switch and you will go forever ,its all about thoughtless actions soon you wont think about it and it will be easier .... but the steeper incline is the best way for me anyway to start ..good luck ,
Sir further back on the bike and rev the bike a bit higher and when it comes up lean back, you leaning forward as the bike pops up
If you pop a wheelie and you go immediately to the side it s usually because your not pulling the handlebars with equal force on both sides
All the way from south africa
Same
Keep at it marvis you will get there practice makes ok lol great videos Keep them coming
if i have to be honest i learned wheeling while riding, I never actualy went and practiced it i practiced while i was riding with my buddies, like if we find a long straight road we would all just mess around and do wheelies and shit but yeah

A cheap bag of sh:t bike you not worried about trashing is definitely best for learning wheelies
if you full pin and drop clutch the computer system should keep you at balance point the entire time. make sure you are in first gear m8
Ride round with the back brake on a bit so your all ready pressing it before you pop it up, this tip helped me loads
Subscribed! You're a better rider than u give yourself credit for!
That sucks as I’m not on instagram lol but I’ll like the vid anyways 👍
Clicked to learn the secret to wheelies.... learned that I'm better than this guy at wheelies 😒
ive been waiting all day for this vid and its going to make my day keep it up love your stuff bro
For a give away u sud give away a rebuild kit my ktm blew up yesterday 😂😂😂
you gotta get brave enough to pull it up to the balance point. otherwise you will have to be on the power to keep it up and your speed will get out of control. get used to good brake control before trying to get to the balance point though so you arent buying new rear fenders every week
Don’t start off a stand still go like a alright speed in first then pop the clutch an stamp on the back brake you need to start rolling so you don’t pull to the left
Why did you stop using the ABS wheelie bar?
Need to hug the seat more with your knees marv! Squeeeeeeeezzzzeeeee
really trying hard to wheelie but i just can’t!😤😫
Hey man your steering wheel in the van is on the wrong side. Hello from Virginia 🙋
I’m in the same boat . Proper road bikes ok at speed , Mtb no probs . Mx bike . No. 🤣🤣
Do what you are doing in the 5th minute but u need to put the clutch harder to get the bike higher then slam the brake an it all progresses from there
m8 i think its best if u remove ur rear fender b4 trying to wheelie just incase u break it 😂
Im the same ,can not wheelie to save my life , all my friends seem to be a natural at it and its frustrating.
Whats your fav colour just asking brother
I wasn't born with it either! Keep practicing it will come
I'm literally in the same boat as u I can pop it up and ride it for a little but cant keep it up for a long time
Mate good effort keep up the hard work🎉🎉🎉
What happen to the wheeli guard
Turn your garden into a mini enduro loop
You need to stop criticising yourself mate
I AM DOING C.O.R.E ON THE 5TH OF DECEMBER WOOD LIKE TO MEET YOU AND THE GANG THERE
It will get easier. Don't overdo single sessions.
That was wheelie good 👍
practise way more often and u will see in 2 months
You do it in first gear right ? I bought that same bike
Great video. Now I am off to get a pair of baby shoes.
GoPro settings next?
Search for my q&a video. It’s all in there

Sit 3 fists back on the set and lean back more
Man you need to watch some finnish wheelies
New subscriber❤️
Haven't practiced since the last vid? I thought you were secretly getting good at it then going to surprise us. But then an eternity went by and I figured you were never going to try again.
And now I've finished the video... And that's what you're doing going forward
Work it out brotha
Have you tried turning it on and off though?
I love your videos so so so so so much they are so good I have watched all your videos
On my tv
Bro. We’re like wheelie bros 😂😂😂😅😅
Haven't got insta 😕 but I liked it anyways and took a screen shot of your mush!
Ps. Love the vids too.
Man get a Rekluse rear brake and you will love love it. You still have the clutch up there but one a wheelie or big down hill you have a easy rear brake right there
Almost sounds like a 4 stroke
So much easier to learn on a pit bike
Love from Nepal❤️😉
You need to come to Portugal 😂
Your house and the land it is in looks peacfull quiet and beautiful I hope u don't keep the bike in the van over night mate
Bike is kept away from the house. No stress
@@MidWestMX mines in a security metal shed outside my window I couldn't sleep otherwise 🤣
love your videos dude!
Unlucky me not on insta

I'm shit at wheelies too
