- Join me as I take on the 30-day slow wheelie challenge! In this series, I'll be candidly sharing my experiences, failures, and triumphs as I work towards mastering the elusive slow wheelie technique. This lighthearted endeavor isn't just about my own progress - it's an opportunity for us to learn and grow together.
On my KTM 250 EXC-F 2017, I'll be tackling this challenge head-on, exploring different techniques and pushing my limits. Whether you're a seasoned rider seeking inspiration or a newcomer looking to learn, this series offers valuable insights and practical tips. So grab your bike, join me, and let's wheelie our way to success!
And don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to stay updated on our progress. Let's roll!
Awesome challenge! Probably the best technique you can learn that applies to so many situations. Watch ol Rich Larson - the irc tire guy will tune you in. Gotta get that front wheel up quickly as possible to 12' oclock. will require some loop outs. :) Cover that rear brake. Id recommend finding some nice dirt ! haha
hellllll yeah! Thanks for the tip! Good to know! I have watched the IRC Tire Guy on a few of his videos. he makes it look so easy LOL. But yes I have binge watched all of those, I'm currently on the " Seat time and learning" phase hahahahah.
@@urbexcross riding with a purpose like you're doing is the biggest thing people skip. Just riding around without a real goal is how you don't improve. Keep it up! Maybe you can come ride with us sometime
@@HardEnduroAppalachia I would love to Buddy. I don't know with some of the trails you guys go on if I would be able to hang. But I can definitely do some medium difficulty ones I feel like
@urbexcross would be some good content I feel like 😂 we all help one another. it's no race
@@HardEnduroAppalachiahey I'm down to try! hahah
At least you didn't loop! If you ever balanced the see saw with someone the further you lean back the more you can distribute vertical balance. Motorcycle flywheel at rpm prevents horizontal movement so it's easier to fast wheelie with a gyroscope. Good first day! With a 250 you got to clutch up and use that vs compress spring unless you ride trails and need to bounce over logs/etc. Thanks for sharing! You did great considering it was wet!!!
thanks dude!!!! those are good tips! so I should try leaning even more back/scooting back?
🎉
cheers! 🎉
Bro, you hit some pretty decent wheelies at Redbird!
thanks bro!!!! I gotta upload that video soon!!!
What is the goal of the "Slow Wheelie Challenge" ? Sustained 5 second Wheelie? 10 Second Wheelie ? Mastery to hold a Wheelie indefinitely ?
Yes! Goal is to master and hold a slowww controlled wheelie. it takes a lot of clutch, balance, technique, body mobility, and finesse. one of the hardest things on a bike that lead to other more advanced techniques like pivot turns, double blips over very tricky obstacles. It's a good foundation for Enduro riding since in some situations, popping the front wheel up high with control will keep you safe and not crash in difficult terrain where you may need to quickly change direction, or 180 turn around on a steep hill to go back down vs just crashing due to lack of control.
it also helps you understand what your bike does under RPM, getting used to throttle capture and delivery. (or so I have been told) also, just looks cool as hell when done right and you can tell if someone put in the seat time & reps. ☺️☺️☺️
legit same thing ive been doing on my klx 300sm in indianapolis xD
dude hell yeah!
im in the castleton area if you want another newb to practice with. im just a lil ahead of you skill wise rn xD (in wheelies)
would love to learn more man! let's link up next week. Hit my email and we can set it up 💥💥
@@urbexcross shot you an email
whats your mic setup? the audio sounds hella good
DJI Osmo Action 4 camera + DJI Mic 2 set at -12 Db gain. ☺️☺️☺️ thanks buddy!!!
Clutching up or power wheelie in 1st?
Clutching up just to get it up quicker. It will throttle wheelie but that = a lot more speed. trying to keep it slow and controlled first.
