This guy can really teach, I just learned that I am left leg dominant even though I am right handed. Sure enough I use my left foot forward when coasting and start my wheelie’s with my right then bring on my stronger left foot/leg. I watched several other videos and they just click like bringing up the rear wheel, been riding dirtbikes since childhood and that was never possible until watching and practicing your techniques. Thanks for being a great teacher!
I once got cocky on my road bike and pulled a wheelie while clipped in... and looped out and ended up with a broken wrist. Flats are your friend... I'll leave the clipped in wheelies to dudes like Peter Sagan. He's the master.
Oh, one other note. Learning to wheelie long took me months of effort. But to your excellent point, learning a few pedal stroke wheelie can help immediately with lots of other skills. Bit like learning to fakie. You don't have to be able to fakie a whole city block for it to be useful!
Spot on! Everything builts into everything else, right? One of my friends used to say "just enough information to be dangerous". So many skills fall into this bucket..
Pedal timing dominant foot back thing is key! First time I tried that was after buying Ryan Leech's MTAOT video. Instantly looping out from the unlocked power of the strong foot coming around after the front wheel lift. It's like secret trials magic.
i can wheelie for blocks and blocks and around corners, even deathspins and this led me to learning the pedal ups and wheelie offs, it took years to learn and become consistent. one thing that most tutorials never seemed to emphasize was keeping your arms straight at all times, and using your pedals to lift the wheel, never your arms!
Nice wheelie coverage. Been a while since I worked on my wheelies, I should get back to it and dial it back in. For me figuring out "feathering" the brake took a long time, I found that trying to do a little micro-pump of the brake, just a tap helped transition between my instinct to slam the front down with a full squeeze and feathering. I also use the "coaster wheelie" as a goal to improve my brake usage. If I feel like I'm getting a bit to close to looping out, I try to see if I can avoid immediately going to the brake and save it with stopping pedaling. That exercise helps remove that over-brake instinct that can kill the ability to long wheelie.
Great call - that coasting wheelie is underrated in terms of working on an important element of the skill. I had a big unlock when I started to figure out all the different tools I had to keep the wheelie going, and this was a great way to get a better understanding of the role that both brakes and pedaling make in the process.
I started out learning in November but it's pretty cold here now so I'm getting less practice. It's been a wild ride. I'm just starting to learn coasting now, and turning. I notice with turning that a lower seat makes it easier for me, and when I get into a turn I shift my hips a little to the outside of the turn to keep the bike upright - so once you get that trajectory going a little, just get the weight a little to the outside of the turn, which probably is really just centering the weight and avoiding leaning into the turn, which will over commit weight. I'm hoping to get some time and attempt some figure of eight drills soon. I've also had some success with wheelying to a stop, which is really fun, and also trying to get a few hops in at the end. One thing I've noticed is that the MTB peeps are more likely to wheelie with a higher seat, which I think actually results in a lower front wheel (as they're further over the back wheel) - then if you look at those bikelife peeps, who do those 12'o clock braking wheelies, their seat is super low and they kind of hug into the bike when they do that move to get the bike vertical. If you look at them wheelying, they also have their arms bent quite often to enable swerves and other crazy stuff. It's cool that there's different styles within the wheelie world. We have a city of over 100,000 here and I'm the only guy wheelying around the city and doing trackstands at the lights - I blame you in part for this, and hope some others join me some day!
That was pretty darn thorough! Good job! Pedaling around corners sometimes requires you to turn the handlebars and lean a fair amount. Keeping that front wheel spinning can help stabilize you a bit as well.
Thanks! I’m still trash at wheelie turns, better add that to my list of stuff to practice. Good call on the spinning front wheel, too - that was a huge help
One thing that really helped me was to focus on pushing rather that pulling. I was struggling with the pull to get the front wheel up until I started driving my rear end down while pulling back. It's hard to explain in words, but I use my lower body to almost "kick" the rear wheel forward. Wheelies are funnnnnn.
Thanks for this video. I always thought that "front foot forward" to start a wheelie didn't feel right. I have a friend who is a real super rider, he can start a wheelie from a STATIONARY POSITION, of course HE starts "front foot forward" BUT he is a BOSS!!! 😢. I'm now learning to wheelie and ride motocross bike at the same time, btw. Wish me well. My main fear is falling back and hitting my head....guess u have to get real familiar with that BACK break!!!!😮
Holding our breath is a fear response so you are very right about focusing on continuing to breath or else everything else just shuts down, and failure is a matter of time. Just focus on when you typically do it so you can prepare yourself to quickly just push on and continue breathing. This is the same for any challenge in life, because when we stop breathing we won't be able to find the answers we need in that moment and time because we're just staring right at fear and that = fail.
I've really never tried to learn how to do this. I used to go mountain biking a lot in the 90's and now I'm doing it again. To get back in shape and I just love bike riding. Do you think a 44 year old guy can do this?
The wheelie has always been illusive. Sometimes I can get a decent one but never dialed in. I'm pretty sure I always try to start my wheelies with my right/strong foot. I'm going to change that next time I'm trying them. I'm also going to try and get more outward knee action for balance. I'll also lower my seat a little.
Really, really excellent video. Great step by step breakdown and love the point about starting with the opposite of your dominant foot in the initial pedal stroke. Thank you!
This tutorial is wheelie good! I wheelie need to practice this technique more. Jokes aside, the tips here are amazing, I'm going to work the stopping pedaling into my current practice intentionally, rather than just accidentally. That and the breathing, I'm sure I hold my breath too.
That coasting bit is super fun, I think you'll see the benefit almost immediately. Plus, it's just another way to modulate your speed instead of dragging the brakes. I think I originally got the breath-holding tip from you? I still have to remind myself! haha
@@SuperRiderTV I do remember us talking about breathing during techniques on stream, especially when you were doing the front hop work. It's something that is still hard even knowing about it and focusing on it! On coasting I think you're exactly right, can't wait to try it!!!
Good stuff! Thanks! So in addition to my mountain bike I got myself an electric motorcycle and an electric scooter but the back brake is on the left. So to keep everything consistent I switched my back brake to the left on my mountain bike. I tried to remind myself over and over again but then I was out on a ride on my mountain bike and I pulled a really nice long wheelie until I got a little too far back and I grabbed the wrong brake! There I was, flat on my back laid out in the street. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ouch! In the end, I'm happy that it happened because now I'm very paranoid and I haven't made that mistake again!
Oof - I've made that mistake on other people's bikes. It's common for UK riders to swap the bikes, and now I've learned to check before I try anyone's bike. Lesson learned, unfortunately I had to learn it the hard way, too! 😂
I like to have my seat all the way up for flat wheelies because i can wheelie indefinitely but for coaster wheelies downhill i like to drop my seat quite alot so i can really get a good lean going and sit into the brake so i dont pull the front wheel down. Always interesting when you lose balance with the seat up high tho 😅
@@SuperRiderTV tall seat is the best for long wheelies! same height you would use if you were pedaling on flat. tipping your saddle forward helps a ton
This one is a little older, but probably the most accurate answer to your question. It's done on a street trials bike, but the same technique applies. Probably needs an update though! ua-cam.com/video/TQU77mejAsY/v-deo.htmlsi=Zy4awr7Vvio7q-WR
@superrider do wheelies help with manuals? Which should you learn fast? Also standing wheelie (wheelbase drill) is much harder for me than sitting wheelie.
I would do it in this order: wheelie, standing wheelie, manual. Each skill builds on the next, and will give you foundation to make the next one easier.
I'm sure it's possible, but the geometry of the bike is going to make it slightly more challenging. My best advice is to try to film yourself trying it, sometimes it helps to see your body positioning while you're riding. You will likely have to get yourself even further back on a gravel bike, as it'll have longer chainstays (which means it takes more effort to lift off the front wheel).
but how do you get the wheel back up once it starts to drop. I find I just peddle faster and faster but cant get the wheel to lift again. I've tried it in different gears. trying to feather the break and even leaning back more and lifting my head. but just cant get it. what am i doing wrong.
Try sitting just slightly further back on the seat and pay attention to your hips when you speed up the pedaling. That should help exaggerate the movement that you need to bring the front wheel back up.
@@itfc3 Shift them back further on the seat, that movement helps weight down the back of the bike and lightens the front. Combined with the extra power from the pedals, the front wheel should come back up
Great depth, you cover everything. 🦾 Ive been doing it wrong, always using my strong foot, as you explain the same technique is used to get up objects. Im going to practice as soon as I get off work today.
you dont need suspension, the power for the wheelie is in the pedals. instead of placing your dominant foot forward when pedaling into the wheelie, try starting with your non-dominant foot first. pull up the bars and shift your weight backwards, keep your arms straight dont bend elbows.
You dont need flat pedals. It’ll make it a bit easier cause you’ll have more of a platform and a larger area to stand on. But truth is I learned to first wheelie on a 70$ Walmart bike that I thought was so cool at the time. Had the typical horrible Walmart pedals, might be a getting used to period but if you learn wheelies on a small pedal you will be used to having a small platform to stand on and keep your feet in that spot off muscle memory. No need to have kids out here thinking flat pedals are absolutely necessary. Just beware of slippery Walmart pedals in the rain 🌧️ 😂 besides that You can do this on any 20 inch bike or whatever bike as long as the chain is at the right tension and you can pull the bike up. If the gear ratio isn’t off and you can get a good solid resistance while pedaling I’ve found this helps start the wheelie. You don’t need a flat pedal or expensive bike like this guy.
You're also talking about flat pedals. The alternative that I am recommending against is clipless pedals, where you have a special shoe that locks into the bike/pedal. They're dangerous because if you lose your balance backward, you go down with the bike. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
dont bend your arms... and u will see its a lot easier to hold your balance... trust me.. im doing wheelies for 25 years... if you dont bend your arms, the transition from wheelie to manual (without peddeling) is easier..
Aaron, my bike is gonna soap your mouth for using 4 letter words! Bikes seem to dislike the word "flat", don'tcha know!! Good thing not one of my 18 bikes have road pedals.
