Yep, set it up to make it easier for yourself to learn (even use a mini bike if necessary!) and then apply that improved skill to more advanced situations (bigger bike, flat ground, etc...)!!!
Great tips as usual mate thanks! The other important technique for learning this is to just find yourself in a situation one day where you have absolutely no choice but to do a 180 wheelie or else you’re walking home 😂 🇦🇺
Thanks for this helpful video. But when I tried this in the past (Beto EVo 300 trial bike and Husquvarna Fe 350) I always recognize there is a big difference doing it with a 2stroke and 4stroke. Still waiting for a lot of 4stroke vids.
Hey Shane, what's your advice for a short guy? (I think you know my 'pain' : ). Is that 150 lowered? I'm also on a 150, and cannot touch. So 180 wheelie does seem out of the question for me on the trail. But I've thought about getting it lowered. Just hate to take away travel from the suspension. Thanks for the video - good stuff as always!
If you aren’t riding a track. Or hopping off 5 foot ledges. You don’t need the suspension. Personally. I’d buy an Xtrainer 300. And lower it an inch. It changed my riding entirely. I love riding more than I ever have combined being able to touch the ground
Hey Shane! How tall are you? I'm short at 5'6" so I have always struggled with this. I can do about 90 degrees if I pull up next to a log or rock that I can plant my foot one. New tires must be over rated! Those nearly bald tires don't seem to be holding you back at all!
Trench idea is genius. Gives me hope, lol. Thanks!

He had them ready, but waiting for UA-cam to appear.

I practice this on my gasgas trials bike. It's much harder on my KTM 150 xc w
