As a young kid in the 70’s I ate slept and dreamed motocross and dirt bikes! This guy was my hero. I destroyed multiple rear fenders on my Suzuki 50 Gaucho with 52 tooth sprocket. Finally I learned how to wheelie through all the gears!! One down three up! I thought I was hot S#|¥!! Great memories! I bought that bike with paper route money and mowing yards, not sure why I didn’t buy a better bike. There is a certain skill to riding an under powered bike fast 😂. I put a kit on it which was a top end, carb and a pipe with no silencer. Loud doesn’t describe it compared to the bikes of today. Two strokes rule. My neighbor had a Maico 400 and he let me ride it when I was 12. Hooked for life.🍆. Still ride today at 61👍. Not dead yet!
I saw him wheelie all the way around The sunshine speedway Mx track as a pre-race show, and then I got roosted on by Bob Hannah at berm #1! Thanks for the great memories.🥰
Met him back in 1981. The coolest ever. Knowing that I was performing a bicycle event in the same venue, he invited me to join him in the next performance. I followed him through an obstacle course on my BMX bicycle. A true honor! A true Legend!! Rest In Peace, brother!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Doug shows up at my local motocross track in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1983…. He wheelies the entire track first try, and everyone there crowded around to watch. It was amazing!
The real deal one of my hero's growing up.I remember the first time i met him at REDBUD was tellin me to wheelie to the first turn i tried like crazy!!!!!thanks for the vid too cool.
Saw him at a Southwick National MX race. He rode wheelies around most tracks a complete lap. Due to the deep inconsistant sand he couldnt at Southwick the entire lap. I dont anyone can. But he sure came close and blew everyones mind. On some of his trick wheelie bikes he had a small electric motor spin front wheel to give him some stability and control. The wheel would be in the air so long without one that it would stop turning. Still his wheelies were and still are ....absolutely AMAZING. I got pretty good at riding wheelies on Mtn Bikes and on my Yzf450 can ride a high speed 5th gear wheelie for 1/2 mile. ..but only in dreams can i ride the infinite lofter....he was WAAAYYY to young to be taken away and the world lost another good guy. And lord knows we need more.
Great documentary. I think I remember hearing when he worked at that motorcycle shop, he would take the front wheel off and test ride it which also caught a lot of attention
I saw this guy at the supercross at the Coliseum. He couldn’t complete the track and bailed out in the whoops 3 times. Doug Henry lead 19.5 laps that night then stalled the 400 and got third. It was awesome.
When I was a teenager I saw him at our local MX track ( Sunshine Speedway in St Pete , Fl). Very Cool !!!! I believe he was also on the cover of Cycle World taking the tail light off a new Kawasaki 1300 . Good Times back then !! Thanks for the video , wall done !
The Good Ole Days! The days of Doug Domokos and Larry Huffman. Remember em both back at the Orange Show Speedway waaaaay back. Doug was incredible to watch. 👍👍
I knew both of these men from Lake Elsinore ! Keith lamb was my Hang gliding instructor and friend. Doug helped me with my bikes. To this day I think of them and did they know the real king ? "JESUS"
In the early eighties I was off roading at a sort of unofficial off road spot in the Des Moines Iowa area, some guy shows up and rides wheelies up and down every hill climb, over every obstacle including this one HUGE dirt pile .. This dirt pile was20 foot tall and had a 4 foot straight drop at the top ..on the back.. he went over it like nothing. Honestly after watching this video I think it was more challenging than any thing on here. Needless to say everyone was just amazed by this guy.. But nobody knew who it was..years later I figured it out after talking to friends and researching him online. It was so fun to see him practice at a new spot and not doing his show..What a day !
Doug was a fixture at all of the stadium and national motocross events back in the day. I met him at Mid-Ohio during the national championships, he was staying in the same hotel that all of the racers were, real nice guy, humble, down to Earth and boy, could he wheelie! He used a small electric motor on his front wheel to keep it spinning which added a lot of control and stability. RIP king!
Holy crap....I didn't know he was from my town!! I saw him at the labor day mudbog at Redbud Track and Trail in Buchanan Michigan. He wheelied a 3 Wheeler up and over and down 2 wires over the mudbog track. I started to get really good at doing wheelies on my 110 Honda 3 wheeler lol.
At that time, I was longing for DOUG DO MOKOS. With reference to DOUG DO MOKOS, I was able to run a wheelie for about 1km. It is a nostalgic memory. And I pray for the souls of DOUG DO MOKOS.
I saw Doug Wheelie around the Motocross tack at Red Bud near Niles MI his how town or Buchanon one of them.. I also saw him do a high wire act on a three wheeler too ..
Saw him many times in the early 80s in the Seattle Kingdome wheelie the whole track ...supercross was so fun then ..after Sundays main event the local mx riders would race..even the kids .. AWESOME
@@gungadingo ya that was awesome..I remember him riding a Kawasaki..when no one wanted to race one every one wanted a YZ or a RM..in the real early80's..funny how the sea of yellow turned red and green by the mid 80s
I first saw Doug at Unadilla in the mid 70's, before he had made a name for himself. On Saturday morning, he was wheelying slowly through the campground on a coffin tank Maico, wearing a Stars and Stripes helmet. I met him years later, and confirmed it was him. One year, as he was wheelying around the Unadilla track, the crowd was pointing at him and laughing. Some of the racers had taken black tape and wrote "I'm Gay" on his skid plate! The year he brought his 3 wheeler with the full roll cage, he misjudged the incline, and kept rolling end over end down the hill, ending up in the swamp. A bunch of Unadilla fans carried him back to the top, and the crowd started chanting "Do it again. Do it again"! Unadilla was also where I got Bob Hannah to autograph my foam beer holder with his picture on it, and decades later, John Penton autographed my First Place MX Trophy at the Unadilla Vintage Rewind, which I earned on my '83 CR480 in +50 Int. The only time Motocross was held at Foxboro Stadium in Massachusetts, Doug was performing between motos. As he rode along the bleachers high fiving the crowd, somebody reached out and grabbed his front wheel, causing him to go down. He was OK, and the offender was ejected.
He gave me a ride at Daytona international speedway when I was a kid and wheelied part of the supercross track with me on the tank. He was a great ambassador for all motorcycles.If you look closely he has a motor on the front hub to keep the wheel spinning.High speed wheelies caused the valve stem to rip off from the tube when he set the wheel down.The motor solved it
No, that is not why he had the electric motor spinning the front wheel, and show me a high speed wheelie of his. lol The motor was on there so the wheel would have a gyroscopic effect, which would help the bike be stable from "side tipping" at slow speeds. Easy physics. The way a valve stem gets ripped off is if the tire slips/rotates on the rim. When you see a valve stem on an angle coming out of the rim, that is what it did. They have "rim locks" for that problem. There used to be 2 rim locks on the rear wheel, and one of the front. They clamped the tire to the rim bead and the tube went over it.
Take a front bicycle wheel and hold the axle end with one hand. Now spin the wheel, and tip the axle while it is spinning. You will definitely feel the gyroscopic effects, as it will fight your hand. You might even drop it. He was using that force for slow speeds, by turning the bars the way he needed for balance.
I remember him at a Daytona Supercross. He wheelied the whole track. There was Gyro scope on the front to keep it rotating to help with the balance. Thanks for the memories.
I like the part when he were fearless. he did thing on motorcycles what nobody did before. He did wheelies on next level. he was celebrity and his fans come from whole world.
I bet Ronnie Mac might say something like "That's 6 to 9 times harder than you think! Doing wheelies like that lol 😉 But seriously thanks for vid, Doug was a beast
@@highwayman1218 the following week someone would catch an arrow fired directly at them, a 6 ft 4 inch man will fit himself in a 12x12x12 plastic cube and stay there for the whole show, and finally some dude will let his friend drive a car at him at 100mph and jump over it. MAN ! Tv was cool in the 80’s!!!
I could never figure out how to do a well balanced wheelie on a dirt bike. But I found it very easy to do in a wheel chair. Not kidding,---but they are unrelated. :)
Thing is that he had a small electric motor on the front wheel that kept it spinning. That acted as a gyroscope and helped him keep balance. I saw him multiple times while I was growing up, at the Supercross races at Pontiac Silverdome. Not to underrate him or anything. But Graham Jarvis could ride wheelies around this guy.
Haha, yep... He also used a huge rear sprocket, too. He was a legemd back then, no doubt. Ive seen videos on youtube with riders doing wheelies for miles and miles on the interstate. I certainly dont condone such activities, but its impressive none the less.
@@user-sg6fb4ip5h yeah lol. He's a mad man! Look up "Enduro Home Training by Graham Jarvis" here on UA-cam. He's riding on the beam of a ladder and stuff. 🤣
I remember seeing an article about him in dirtbike magazine back in the eighties! What a talent! How do 4 stroke engines get oil to the top end with these extreme angles and for this length of time? Anyone know? Yes I know most of these were 2 strokes, but many today are 4 strokes.
Doug was awesome entertainment at the races . Indiana had a stunt guy named Mr Backwards , back in the 80's l was at a Hillclimb in southern lndiana & he was their , he rode his bike up the dam hill sitting backwards lol it was great . Once in 82 l was in southern 0hio at a lorretta lynns qualifer & a stunt guy had a dirt ramp at a large pond's edge & the announcer guy talked this guy up & off he went blasting across the field at maybe 40 or 50 mph & launched himself way up into the air & into the pond , it was spectactular , what l'm getting at is l don't see stuntmen anymore , anybody have any sightings of late or a story .

Same here, 5 behind you. I just rode last Friday at Stonyford, Ca on my 99 KX500 with my son. It’s thick as blood once it’s in you.
you was just enjoying your childhood
I agree! Born in ‘64 Spot welded fire place inserts and purchased a ‘75 KD80 in summer of ‘74 and still own my ‘85 Cr500R I bought in summer of ‘84.
Yup more addictive than heroin
A true legend! Respect!!
I saw him wheelie all the way around The sunshine speedway Mx track as a pre-race show, and then I got roosted on by Bob Hannah at berm #1! Thanks for the great memories.🥰
thats awesome LIsa!
dam Bob Hannah was good , JT RACING RIP
You lucky girl you!!
My friend and I used to watch his older brother's Bob Hannah skills VHS over and over. It made me a much better Rider
U got roosted by Bob "Hurricane" Hannah??, Way Cool, did ya get an autograph??
Met him back in 1981. The coolest ever. Knowing that I was performing a bicycle event in the same venue, he invited me to join him in the next performance. I followed him through an obstacle course on my BMX bicycle. A true honor! A true Legend!!
Rest In Peace, brother!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
10/10 narration, would watch again.
thank you for your support
@@TheDirtbikeRider look up “sarcasm”
@@theninja001 what sarcasm? I also enjoyed the narration very much.
What a beast! I’ve been stunting for 15 years. Never gets old! 🍻 wheelie king!
I saw Doug in the mid 90’s at a Cycle News motorcycle show at the Cleveland Exposition Center. He gave me a Signed book. R.I.P. “Wheelie King” 🏁
Doug shows up at my local motocross track in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1983…. He wheelies the entire track first try, and everyone there crowded around to watch. It was amazing!
These days you would need a 100 permits and they'll shut the entire street down...
Nice to remember days like that, i call it golden years.
Yes I remember this guy in the seventies very good no one like him back in that day
Got to meet Doug at a stunt show back in the late 80's and was a very humble guy. Great video!
Big impact on me, I bought his book at age 9... took 6 months to come from USA to Qld Australia back in 1980.Still have the book now.
I was a kid in the 70s,.... Doug Domokos, Evel Knievel, and Smokey and the Bandit were the coolest things ever! 🤘🏻
The real deal one of my hero's growing up.I remember the first time i met him at REDBUD was tellin me to wheelie to the first turn i tried like crazy!!!!!thanks for the vid too cool.
I loved it when the vid mentioned Red Bud and the owner back then, Gene Richie.
That's where I saw him....a labor day mud bog. I think they had the "Ice Monster" monster truck there when I went back in the 80's.
Great to see footage. Bought his book in 83 and taught myself to wheelie. Legend
He was the GOAT wheely machine….
He remained a legend
Coolest thing my 7 year old self had ever seen, I started practicing the next day. Huge impact 👏
He even paid the toll crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge on his back wheel. I knew that he died but didn't know how.
A true legend...
Ultralight aircraft in California.
He died in an ultralight crash.
Sad but true...saw him many times
I saw him wheelie all the way around the Redbud track ! Over all the jumps , it was awesome
I got to see Doug perform several times at different tracks. He put on a good show and was a nice guy. Great ambassador for the sport. Gone too soon.
Domokos Legend💯 my hero🔥💪

At 2:16 the florescent green Mazda 808 station wagon. 🤩☘️my parents had one and I was so embarrassed to get dropped off at school in it 😞
I grew up in lake Elsinore and I will never forget this guy riding wheelie with me on the handlebars as a kid
Rip bro

Much respect , wish he were still with us .
The Good Ole Days! The days of Doug Domokos and Larry Huffman. Remember em both back at the Orange Show Speedway waaaaay back. Doug was incredible to watch. 👍👍
Saw him wheelie around unadilla with out once putting the front wheel down, amazing!
Was there. About 1980

Mr. WheelieAllTheWay! AWESOME👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I always wheelie on any bike and this is the best video I could have asked
The pioneer, the original, the one and only; WHEELIE KING! 🤙🏻🇺🇸
Holy crap....I didn't know he was from my town!! I saw him at the labor day mudbog at Redbud Track and Trail in Buchanan Michigan. He wheelied a 3 Wheeler up and over and down 2 wires over the mudbog track.
I started to get really good at doing wheelies on my 110 Honda 3 wheeler lol.
The pioneer
The trailblazer
The OG
Doing that descend in Frisco is unreal

We would go to the motorcycle show in Chicago every year just to see Doug
Woooooow so much skill. Thanks for enlightening me, appreciate you posting!
My pleasure!

Lotta memories. Thx for sharing. 🤙🏼💯
I got to see him ride a wheelie the whole way around High point,, very cool🤙
i saw him wheelie around UNADILLA in '83........ it was incredible. he was the G.O.A.T.
When i was a kid i had a poster of Doug doing a wheelie hanging on the wall 👍
Was JUST talking about him the other day with some life long riding buddies. K I N G
Arto nygvist from finland was also one of the best stuntriders.

hahahh good one !
Seeing him 1979 at the Hang Town MX race. Great memories 🏁 🏍 👍
That was awesome, even with the robot voice. Saw him do a lap at the LA Coliseum SX many years ago. Very sad, I didn't know he was no longer with us.

As a kid, I watched their shows. I miss those beautiful days
Haven't heard of him before but he is LEGEND DELUX!
Saw him at Unadilla, at the Motocross Des Nations!. Track was all deep mud. Wasn't easy for him but he still put on a great show!.

Amazing wheelie best rider.
King of wheelie
We agree!
I saw him doing his "Wheelie Big Show" at Champion Speedway in Owego NY, must have been in the early 80's.
I saw this guy in the Kingdome Seattle Wa.
I think he was on “That’s Incredible” tv show.
Either that or “Games People Play”
Yep, remember that! It was the "Thats Incredible" show. 👍 That was the show scene in the vid wheeleing through the town of Sacto.
@@highwayman1218 the following week someone would catch an arrow fired directly at them, a 6 ft 4 inch man will fit himself in a 12x12x12 plastic cube and stay there for the whole show, and finally some dude will let his friend drive a car at him at 100mph and jump over it.
MAN ! Tv was cool in the 80’s!!!
I could never figure out how to do a well balanced wheelie on a dirt bike. But I found it very easy to do in a wheel chair. Not kidding,---but they are unrelated. :)
This dude fucks! I want that 3 wheeler
When you tilt your side number for wheelies
🔝🚲💯

Very interesting, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing 👍👍
Wonderful guy
Cool I'm still riding a kx 42o
I saw him do the supercross track in the Astrodome sitting on the handle bars of a 3 wheeler back in the 80's
As a child I read books about Doug
Did he ever get into trials? He would be a master!
Beautiful old kx250
He is the King!
Doug wheelied a Honda atc trike across a tight rope 😎he also had a custom manifolds to angle carb so it didn't lean out
Thing is that he had a small electric motor on the front wheel that kept it spinning. That acted as a gyroscope and helped him keep balance. I saw him multiple times while I was growing up, at the Supercross races at Pontiac Silverdome. Not to underrate him or anything. But Graham Jarvis could ride wheelies around this guy.
but can Jarvis do it on an old drum brake KLX?
@@codyriches9584 wouldn't surprise me. You think Jarvis learned with a hydraulic brake? Petty unlikely.
Haha, yep...
He also used a huge rear sprocket, too. He was a legemd back then, no doubt.
Ive seen videos on youtube with riders doing wheelies for miles and miles on the interstate. I certainly dont condone such activities, but its impressive none the less.
@@roberto3262 Jarvis is insane lol. You ever seen how he loads his bike in the van?
Birch is awesome too.
@@user-sg6fb4ip5h yeah lol. He's a mad man! Look up "Enduro Home Training by Graham Jarvis" here on UA-cam. He's riding on the beam of a ladder and stuff. 🤣
