How to wheelie a motorbike: five tips before you start!︱Cross Training Enduro

- www.crosstrainingenduro.com tractionerag.com Learn to how to wheelie in five easy steps. Well that's what many say. Instead, we offer these five wheelie tips before you even start to learn now. First, the good news. Anyone can learn to wheelie. Anyone. The bad news? It requires hours of practice. Hours and hours and hours: First step, you need to commit to regular practice learning how to wheelie. Ignore this advice at your own peril. Appreciate the complexity of what you are attempting. To reduce chances of small talk with your local XRAY tech, do not skip steps when learning how to wheelie. Do not assume you “got” step two down after only successfully replicating it two or three times in your hour of practice. Ignore this advice at your own peril. Here are some videos that break wheelies into logical, manageable steps for muppets, gumbies and reprobates who day dream of wheelies. If you believe our message makes sense, please mash the like and subscribe button, this allows us to provide you with more sketchy advice learning how to wheelie and do it more frequently. Adios muchachos. This will not happen in one session. Expectations. Learning to wheelie will take longer than you think. As an intermediate rider, there are, at minimum, five separate skills you will need to learn to do a wheelie. Then, if you successfully master each of these skills for learning how to wheelie, you will require hours of practice to tie them together. Watch a good instructional video on how to wheelie. There are four hundred and twenty thousand fantasy wheelie videos on UA-cam. I suggest several at the end of the video. Practice. Man, how come we’re talking about practice again? Research suggests that it takes approximately 20 hours of practice to begin to learn a complicated new physical skill and 10K hours to master it. Lies, all of them. LIES. Expert riders who have been experts for a really long time are often the worst people to learn from. Watching every single wheelie video on the internet will not bring you one single step closer to learning it if you do not have the discipline to practice. This is the number one reason why you will fail, therefore the first reason listed. You need to find yourself a convenient, appropriate and safe place to commit to regular practice. If you plan to make it as convenient and accessible as possible, this will may be the number one reason you will succeed if learning how to wheelie a motorbike. They often, but innocently, leave necessary steps out because they “just do it” without thinking. These skills have been ingrained in their muscle memory often since they were children, it doesn’t exist as a separate skill. We have all experienced this. You are on the trail, in a tricky situation and you ask, “What do I do?” and the more experienced rider reponds, “I don’t know, just ride over it”. You need a practical, step by step breakdown on how to begin the process of learning how to wheelie a dirt bike. Wheelies are unbelievably complex, they are physical and they are scary. You need to break down the first steps until you have them down cold. After 30, your bones have seen their best days. Bones density begins to decrease and every year afterwards you become more susceptible to fractures. Wheelies and fractures are roommates. They exist together in close quarters. Expecting that you will surely “get it” after a few sessions is completely unreasonable and you are setting yourself up for failure. Sure, if you are athletic and learn new physical skills quickly, it will take less time than someone who lacks athletic ability, hand/eye coordination but it will take longer than you anticipate learning how to wheelie. This process will be a roller coaster of failure combined with emotional highs and lows. For every AHA moment you experience, prepare for a frustrating glut of consistent failure shortly afterwards. Consistent advancement is one of the elusive dragons you will need to battle. Usually we list safety a distant third but today, it ends up sixth, simply because safety is a real downer during a wheelie conversation. Many of you are over 30 years old. They are fun to watch because they reinforce your existing delusions about learning how to wheelie motorbikes. They make you feel like learning to wheelie really isn’t that difficult. They make it look easy. They conveniently leave out the dangerous consequences.

IMPORTANT! As with all our training vids, read our disclaimer first before attempting any techniques: bit.ly/2U0bgCy Also, you must first learn to cover the rear brake properly. This greatly reduces the risks while learning. See this vid: ua-cam.com/video/IFCwwugCwaA/v-deo.html
There is risk involved. However you can reduce the risks by learning to cover the rear brake, and learning to lift the front wheel higher in gradual steps.
I watched this video and now I can wheelie. It’s just that easy.
Well done grasshopper. Just meditate on the sound of a one stroke firing.
Reverse psychology don't just work on children.
Here is your next task: ua-cam.com/video/OoJW-_OeFtw/v-deo.html
Lets do it... I want to see a Traction eRag vid about this by next week.
hello there, wheelies have been my primary mission since I bought my DRZ 3 years ago. At 50 years old, I can say that " practicing slow wheelies " is one of my most regular physical activities, and will continue to be for awhile, mud or snow!
" to avoid small talk with your local x-ray tech". We need friends too. I love dirt bike season in the ER!
Nooooo! 😂 I still remember the nurses holding up my last x-ray and applauding, saying it was one of the best shattered lower legs they'd seen in a long time. That was 12 years ago now...
I think I will try to take a season off from er land and visit candyass land instead.
X-ray technicians rock. Broke my back)T-12, L-1 incomplete in 1975. The x-ray tech was the only person who talked to me in a language I could understand. He told me the truth that I would never walk again. Everyone else skirted the issue with talk about ground breaking research for people with a permanent SCI. Still waiting in that breakthrough 46 years later. Still
friends with that x-ray tech.
I dated an xray tech for a few years. After an occasional story of acting like a kid, her favorite saying was "I don't want you on my table". 😇. Thankfully I never landed there by accident...lol
When you are on a first name basis with the tech you know you need to stop watching the CTES vids.
So seriously on point, and underemphasized elsewhere. Love it!
Yay.
That was a wheelie good video.
I was wonderining how long before someone said it Cade 😁
Ya, but was it wheelie good?
I wheelie think so!
WOOT WOOT!
I want an endurocross vid with the Canadian voice and a traction erag vid with an Australian voice. I have no idea why... but it works.
We take requests!

WOOT WOOT
Working on it 😁. Your channel gives me a lot of insights. Very useful information.
Your vids ALWAYS get a like!

Aye good to see more videos coming out again!
I try to wheelie when I miss my cute physical therapist, Melendy, she gives the best massages.
Rub n Tugs aren't physio!
I totally want to buy you a molson and watch 70’s hockey reruns while stroking your mullet! You are Canadian right?
I wish amazon had back fenders for my Dr 650
Very inspiring, thanks a lot

Excellent advise on learning a complex skill. I always follow these three component: 1. WELLNESS, 2. FITNESS-All of five components, 3. SKILLL-If one and two are not established you are doomed to failure when learning a complex neurological skill. As always, great teaching video,
The really gifted guys can probably learn fast and take shortcuts, Marty. But most of us need a structured approach and heaps of practice to learn how to do it well and with less risk!
@@crosstrainingenduro it is not the average wheelie you will need during a Hard Enduro. You need more than a hundred variations and you will still need to refine your skills for each obstacle. Great video. The role of eye sight would be a great topic for riders.
I'm headed to by an xr250, my first dirtbike experience, and I already know I can wheelie. Thank you.
How did u go?
Good Video ..... thx
Good advice thx man
Thanks. I have been working at wheelies for a while but am still far from getting it down. I feel a little better about my slow progress.
Fantastic advice
Yes, Dallas narrated this vid as he's struggled with the wheelie for many years and is highly qualified in the area of not being able to wheelie. 😊
Only 38 seconds in and I’m ready to put the phone down and go grab my bike lol
Good technique 😉
You asked me six years ago if I could wheelie. I think my answer was "yeah sorta". I've only just gotten to covering the rear brake in emergency situations last year. Wheelies take a very long time, even longer if you're as slow as me!
I reckon taking a long time is a good way to go, Alex. So many guys practice rear brake covering a dozen times and think they have nailed it. But of course it takes a long long time before it becomes an instinct and you actually do it when you go past the balance point instead of bailing!
Yesterday i crash and i get 6 stiches in my leg🦵, learning how to wheelie but that's part of the process and i Will continue no matter what💯💪
Ouch! Was it a back flip?
@@crosstrainingenduro whiskey trotle lol but i m good , that's why every one who try to learn how to wheelie wear riding boots and a helmet, i have my work boots and my helmet and today i check my bike and practice again whith the stiches 🤯🤘💯
@@efrainortiz6192 Learning to cover and use the rear brake will change everything.
I was pretty gung ho on wheelies for a while, but I'm ok with just being able to do practical enduro wheelies and short, slow, sit down ones. I hate to admit it, but I always use to practice on steep paved roads for the traction.
The small practical wheelie is really the only one we need to know... anything longer is just for showing off really lol. Except perhaps if you are trying to wheelie across a shallow water crossing or series of ruts etc.
The comment about small talk in the ER got me thinking about when my son was younger and we were at the ER every 5 to 6 months with a broken bone for him. One of the nurses said I looked familiar and asked if I was a doctor there. Nope just a frequent visitor😄
You should buy a white lab coat and wear that next time, Dave. Who knows what sort of mischief you could get up to lol.
You need to demand a loyalty rewards card!
This is a simple fix. Tell your son to stop watching the CTES vids!
Hey these vids are sponsored by hospitals from many countries... 🤔
It over 30 years ago and I don't think Barry was out of diapers yet. It was up to me to teach him everything he knows...
And then practice, practice, practice. No short cuts.
Yeah ive be practicing for years, i can only get out like 1-4 times a month (closer to one on average) and im getting decent. After a few years and a few sends, im able to wheelie my quad and bike (klx 110L) pretty well, tho im still bad at covering to back brake bc of relying on engine braking too much. Tho my longest wheelie was about 30-40ft until i missed the brake and smashed my back XD
Argh, I had that once! I wheelied someone else's bike and the brake lever was way too low. The bike slowly backflipped with me trying to dab that rear brake lol.
Hahaha, good video?
Anyone else struggle with side to side balance while practicing wheelies? Seems like once I hit balance point and try to practice really riding them out that's when I feel the bike wanting to flop over on it's side.
Covered in our wheelie training vids... check the '12 oclock wheelie' vid in particular.
First honest wheelie video!! hahaha
There are a few naturals out there who pick it up fast, but it's huge amounts of practice for the rest of us!
I lied about the practice - there are comments from people saying they got it right after watching this.
🤔😂
Fun and motorvating
420,000 Fantasy wheelie videos on UA-cam..... 🤔 and 5 of those are mine 😄 and I still never cracked it. I started making a playlist called Learn How To Slow Wheelie Weeks 1 to 10. I was getting better by week 5 and then week 6 I flipped out and gave in. 😄 At 55 now I still have a desire to master it... and maybe I just might 🙂🙃🙂👍
I'd say go for it Steve, you only live once unless you are a Hindu or Buddhist! Get into the right safety gear, really learn covering the rear brake etc. I've seen a few guys around 50 put the hard yards in and get very good at them. 😊 I'd say really focus on making the rear brake covering an instinct and you'll minimize the risk.
@@crosstrainingenduro hahaaa... you know I think I might just finish that wheelie series 🙂👍 Lockdown here should pass before long and I can dust off the beast. When I was doing it before my focus was to concentrate on not gaining speed, keeping it a true slow wheelie, purely for the purpose of self preservation. The glue under my rear fender is still holding out too. 😄
Thanks for the support.... at least I now have someone to blame. 😄👍
Have the best week ahead my friend.
Regards..... Steve. 👋👍
3:20 this is so very true for everything you learn
👍😁
Everyone else on UA-cam: Wheelies are the easiest thing I do all day
You: Heck ya! I'm gonna go wheelie today!
Cross Training Enduro: (slaps you in the face) Snap out of it mate! You can't wheelie!
You: No way, I can do this.
Cross Training Enduro: (kicks you in the nuts) Mate, you can't wheelie, you will hurt yourself. Follow these steps to learn how to wheelie. You won't be on one wheel today or even this week but if you think you will be I will sign your cast.
Lol I'm glad you guys are around to drag me out of my dilusion and back into reality! The ground is covered in snow where I live so I haven't been on the bike in a few months so UA-cam videos about dirt riding is all I have been watching. It really does a treat for my self confidence and ego. At the end of every video I think to myself "that is easy stuff" even on the stuff Jarvis is doing. Its good to be cut down every now and then and be reminded this isn't a sport you get good at by watching UA-cam.
It sounds like you've been to one of the Traction eRag training sessions lol. That is pretty much what Dallas says... Follow these steps to learn how to wheelie. You won't be on one wheel today or even this week but if you think you will be I will sign your cast.
Google wheelie bars for a motocross bike you will find one if you really want to never flip over again.
I am glad I saw this video, now I’m not going to try anything new ever. Really motivational
It's surprising how many are turned off by the idea of needing to put work into something. Nowadays everyone wants 'life hacks' and 'the secret' that makes everything easy.
@@crosstrainingenduro exactly, I hope someone will get a laugh at my comment. Everything I’ve wanted to do I’ve had to work at. Sometimes it was fun sometimes not. But if you want it bad enough you will put the time in.
Couldn't agree more!
Excellent video, thanks for the time and effort 👍
Our pleasure, David! If you get into it we've got about five vids in our wheelie training series now.
Jeeze Dallas, thanks for shitt'in on my dreams of being a wheelie master and a lazy SOB at the same time. 😢
JK, I've started practicing a little every time I go out. Thinking maybe 20,000 hours for me to master.
Unfortunately he's right... I've been working at the slow wheelie for a years now and I can occasionally pull one longer than six seconds. And that's uphill which makes it much easier. Sigh.
Heh heh. Sorry to shatter your dreams. I suggest more YT wheelie vids to build you back up...
you didnt tell us changing the rear sprocket to low speed ratio? even how many hours of practice it will not work if on the high speed mode
With good technique, you should be able to wheelie any dirt bike. Lower gearing and/more power just means your technique isn't good... and you need a substitute.
I took it a step back and learned balance point wheelies on my mountain bike. Still not a master on my dirt bike...
i learned how to wheelie in one day
How are you guys all doing ,are you able to get out and ride with all the lockdowns ,
We had strict lockdowns early on Jonny, so very few infections compared to other countries and life has been mostly normal for ages now. One of our states, Victoria, has had multiple lockdowns though due to a cruise ship early on and they let all these people off without proper checks.
@@crosstrainingenduro glad to hear ,we are still in lockdown in UK , can go out and to work but just can't travel very far so getting a bit fed up as IV bought a E mountain bike and want to get to the trails and weather has been bad so been a long few months ,
Our lockdown is white. Canuckistan.
i can wheely with my bicycle as long as i want which makes learning it on a motorbike especially frustrating. i could do it if i would feel the rear break better through these thick boots.
It's weird how able to do wheelies on a BMX often doesn't help at all with dirt bikes... and vice versa.
Im left footed so my natural instinct when I get close to flipping out is to drop my support leg (R leg down) dooo that's the rear break foot:) My Beta 300 has had 2 x new rear guards from me and one from our mutual friend from Euro Enduro before I got the bike :)
Left hand operated rear brake maybe? I tried using the Ox-brake before but it's fairly weak. I rode a bike once with the Clake SLR and it was great!
@@crosstrainingenduro yeah I remember you reviewed that I have the Clarke 1. I actually bought the ox but haven’t got around to fitting it I was worried about operating the clutch and the break at the same time with the left hand thought I would persevere with trying to cover the foot break for a while longer
I'm in love with my LHRB!
It frees your hand up to do other things while you ride! 👍😂
Wheelie impressive, Wheelie! 😝
I just practiced about two hours, one thing I didn't realize, is do I need to cover the clutch at low speed?
If you get slow enough, you'll definitely need to. Anyone from a trials back ground is probably feathering the clutch constantly, but for us everyday trail hacks that might be making it all a bit too complicated when learning.
@@crosstrainingenduro that makes it easier. Thanks! 👍
There are many excellent fast riders who suck at wheelies. I'm not excellent or fast and I still suck at wheelies.....
😂 Consistency is a great asset, John. I try to suck at most things in my life.
@@crosstrainingenduro Yes! It's the effort that counts:)
This makes you one step closer to being excellent and fast!
Can i wheelie a 125 if i weigh 55 pounds
I comes down to technique, not your height, weight or bike size.
This video changed my mind! So no I belive in me, I can do that wheeeeelie
I used to ride with a guy who just seemed completely unable to do wheelie. We would all give him tips but after months and months we gave up. But he didn't. He went out several times a week by himself then suddenly it all clicked and he was doing them everywhere, and in some crazy situations too lol. We thought he was going to kill himself but thankfully he never crashed or flipped it.
@@crosstrainingenduro right, that great story. Two years ago I broke my femur and spine during motocross training. I continue riding but much more careful now that decreases learning speed. I almost learned wheelie, but that "almost" may last for a long time.
Laughing….oh man! I am just practicing now! Funny
If we didn't laugh about our riding skills we would be crying instead!
What you got to be kidding me. I watched 1,574 wheelie videos I had three more to go for me to start popping it up I was misled😲
Film it!
@@dallas_shannon nah bro why you got to put me on the spot. the thing is my bike is in the shop right now and they're closed for the winter I would but you know circumstances lol
Fake it, Dennis! While the bike is in the shop just suspend the front wheel using a chain from the ceiling, jump on, then 'green screen' in all sorts of moving backgrounds. That's what I've been doing in my vids for years.
@@crosstrainingenduro I knew it... I always said to myself there's no way these guys could be that good. well the saying goes" fake it till you make it" and you guys are doing a damn good job. keep it up your videos are tremendously helpful👍
Green screens forever 😊
I reckon I need about 20,000 more hours of practice.
Just like skating 🤣 ,fall ,fail ,and fall again but practice make excellent
How about after 50? Lol
I'd definitely take a few few precautions Scott... safety gear, really learn covering the rear brake etc. But I've seen a few guys around 50 put the hard yards in and get very good at them. 😊
At over 60, the extent of my wheelies is being thrilled if I can loft the front wheel over a small tree lying across the trail, and not falling down in the process 🤪👍.
You guys are awesome! After 60? Wow! Good for you. Just to have the genetics to throw your leg over a bike n hit trails is truly something to be admired. I hope I can at that age. The one thing that I've learned with age, is take nothing for granted. Especially when it comes to health. I bet most of us who watch his videos probably already know that. I will say this, I've learned quite a bit from watching these vids. All of us come here to watch n learn have mud in our blood.
Great to hear, Dan'l! In reality that short practical wheelie is the only one you really need 99% of the time.
Hours? I’m going on 20 years now. It’s my drug of choice.
Feeling ya.
And like heroin, it can leave track marks on your arms if your riding buddies use you for traction.
No limiter and drop the clutch?
And good insurance... works every time!
That is for training up beginners.
@@TractioneRag isn’t pain and suffering the route to understanding?
Studies show that back flipping a dirt bike in top gear is one of the fastest ways to enlightenment... among other things.
@@crosstrainingenduro yes agreed. I am due for some enlightenment, will see if i get some this weekend.
I have nearly two acres to practice on at my house. Yet I’m still afraid to even attempt to practice wheelies. Getting hurt and being unable to work is an expensive proposition.
Completely agree, my brother would too as he broke both arms doing a small wheelie before he learned to cover the rear brake. If you learn that technique until it's second nature (I'm talking many hours of practice over months) then most of the risks are gone.
Yup, broke my wrist during a slow wheelie attempt. Two surgeries and permanent carpal tunnel syndrome. I just got a Yamaha TW200 so while a wheelie is possible I'll be happy just keeping both wheels on the ground. I'm 67 and UA-cam broke my wrist.
@@olddirtbiker5088 "I'm 67 and UA-cam broke my wrist." YER KILLING ME!! hahahaha
I can back that feeling but ultimately agree with Barry. We've been teaching wheelies for some time and mastering the back brake is the key.
But the real question: Do you have socialized medical care?
10,000 hours hmm how many bikes is that,,, haha good stuff as always,
about 30
So you say watching hours and hours of practice is the key to master this is easy skill?
For the majority of riders? Yes.
YOU MUST WATCH MORE PRACTICE VIDEOS. hahahahahahha
You summed this up perfectly!
What a great video. I pulled a wheelie straight off the toilet seat.
I assume you had just deweighted, Phil?
@@crosstrainingenduro Supervising future biker in the bathtub.
😂👍
How about after 60? Weally, Dallas, you wascally wabbit? Weally? lol
There's just more risk of our bones breaking instead of bending, Andrzej! Get into the right safety gear, really learn covering the rear brake etc. I've seen a few guys in their 50s start with lots of practice and get very good at them. 😊 Really focus on making the rear brake covering an instinct and you'll minimize the risk.
@@crosstrainingenduro That was a rhetorical question! LOL
How to wheelie? Watch more practice vids on YT while rubbing your noodly appendage.
I LOVE vague Pastafarian references.... noodly appendage. 😂
@@dallas_shannon Unlike you reprobates, I only rub my noodly appendage in private, and definitely not while wheelieing! ;-)
I am trying...
Even with all the carbon fibre knee guards and body armour ya still gonna snap bones ! But at least I can wheelie into the sunset 🤙🏽
For sure Henry, it only reduces the risk... hopefully. But I still think that if covering the rear brake becomes automatic then much of the risk disappears.
I just turned sixty! Should I even start....
Is your life over at 60?
If not, of course start...
It depends on so many factors, Alan. But if you are fit, have a reasonably light bike, the right protective gear, enjoy the challenge, and will put the hard yards in with learning to cover that rear brake properly, I reckon you can learn them and do it with minimal risk.
Learn to cover the back brake (and use it) first and it takes away all the risk.
This comment inspired a video!
Was it this vid, Mr Shannon? ua-cam.com/video/PFVe7nMB7us/v-deo.html
Lol it would be much easier to learn some of these skills if… I was taller than 5.7 and my first bike was not a 2009 kx450f at 15 years old. Lol way to big for optimal learning speed but working good so far just super slow to learn. I also have a confidence problem when I only have a inch of foot on the ground when I get on the bike lol and even more so when I feel like I’m going to flip backwards and have a 230lb bike fall on me lol. I’m way stronger than most 125lb 15 year olds but that’s cause I grew up climbing trees and running around so super strong but when your only 125lb it’s hard to manhandle the bike with your weight for balance and stuff too.

So, how do I wheelie?

You need to watch more wheelie vids on UA-cam - it's that simple.
🤣
I always cover my rear brake, until that one time I don't. I generally get fresh underwear out of the deal though. 😜
Try diapers!

Shit i was hoping i could just watch this and wheelie.
O well ill give the hard work thing a chance
I could wheelie my mountain bike all day. And my sled is always catching air. But just can't seem to get the klr650 to walk the walk. Practice you say....I thought it was my mid fifties age...🤣😂🤣🤪.
The KLR just seems to have that extra weight which makes it tough. I find the DR650 wheelies so easily but the extra 20kg or so with the KLR puts it in a tougher bracket... at least for me.
"many of you are over 30 years old" me as a 13 year old that wants to learn enduro skills on a 85.....
That all sounds like just too much work. I’ll just keep both wheels on the ground thank you very much. Being over twice 30 makes it an easy decision.😝
Much easier Dave lol. If we want challenges there are far more practical things we can beat ourselves up with!
Ya, but how are you going to get any girls???

I'll pay $10,000 for that lol.
Took so long I end up dying
That's probably because each generation is less prepared to put in any work to learn a new skill... and you want instant hacks instead of putting in time and practice. If you can't take five minutes to learn important points, you'll find yourself struggling with life in general.
@@crosstrainingenduro lol I was being funny I’m willing to learn new skills like I learned how to ride on a 450 just gotta be dedicated
Gotcha. If there's no emoji I always figure it's a serious comment lol. I've actually had a lot of people saying the video was way too long!
I think learning this wheelie early is not helping your enduro skills.
The first wheelie one should learn to do is while standing and the reason is simple:
To master this wheelie you need your foot on the rear break, which requires your butt to be on the seat, but on a real enduro wheelie your foot should be under the pedal in order to hold the balance of rider to bike when the bike gets vertical and your butt should be far from your seat.
Learning to wheelie standing (with the ability to pull yourself to the front fender if you have to) is crucial to survive a lot of mishaps in them woods or even jumps and will give you the confidence to keep it pinned.
If you see our video about 'the small practical wheelie' we do focus on the proper wheelie you actually need to know. I believe you should have the rear brake covered for every single wheelie though. You simply adjust your pedal to the height needed so this is possible. We had links to all the wheelie training at the end.
@@crosstrainingenduro Thanks for the response bro!
You caught me, the truth is i am not watching riding videos much lately, i responded to the combination of title to thumbnail and people trying to emulate Graham backwards with that wheelie while they shouldn't start there but they do.
My inability to learn to wheelie with the foot on the brake when young is what taught me to always balance it out and it turns out it's much more usable when jumping around in trails to keep your mind off the brake as it changes your body stance.
When your chin is on the front fender and the bike is up, no break pedal can get that low, your boot goes under it.. try it out but you might need a 250 as i don't ride 300s that way either :P
Don't get me wrong about watching,
your channel is my favorite but the riding mood here has been low and trying (desperately) to pick it up!
It ain't you.. Your vids are the most entertaining in our sport and always there to crack me a smile on a bad day!
cheerz and thanks!
@@Achilleas7 I am only interested in attracting hoards of women.
'Hoards'? I dare you to show this to the butcher of Traction eRag, Mr Shannon. 🤣
@@crosstrainingenduro I thought "hoard" meant "lusty group".
Who is the muppet narrating??
I do the voice over for Barry's bad Canadian accent.
@@dallas_shannon That's the spawn of Beaker and the Swedish Chef's chickens.
How do you wheelie on an electric dirt bike 😫😁🤔
Only tried once on an electric trials bike, it felt so weird! I reckon it would take a while to get the hang of it.
Just pull the fuse and give'r.
420 you say?
Four hundred and twenty THOUSAND. Say high to your riding buds for us.
In the words of Conor McGregor. Who the fook is that guy?
Fookin' Canucks.
Is this your guru? Mr. Jordan Peterson?
This would be Dallas Shannon from Traction eRag who is even more of an oddball Canadian than Mr P.
@@crosstrainingenduro Ya. Back to being JP!
What happened to your voice?
How about after 70?
My voice? I spent too much time around Canadians... 😢
I'd definitely take a few few precautions Dave... safety gear, really learn covering the rear brake etc. But I've seen a few guys in their 50s put the hard yards in and get very good at them. But after that it's pretty rare to see older guys learning them for the first time.
I'm Barry's bad Canadian accent.
What's happened with your voice ?
Either I've spent too much time in Canada and assimilated...
Or it's Dallas from Traction eRag doing the narration - something he's been doing here and there for years now.
Hey! Enough with the ‘over 30’ stuff ..... I’m 50
Spring chicken, Jim... I'm closing in on 60 now. 😁
These aren't tips.. These are meant to be etched in Bible in the first page for all the things we intend to practice for life..
😎👍 It's really interesting to see how most older viewers say these are vital hard won principles for life... whereas some younger viewers say it's a boring useless vid with no relevant information.
This voice sounds too American...who is this poser!
Also one of my best friends is an Xray tech, so its too late for all that avoiding small talk stuff lol
Even worse... he's Canadian lol. When viewers say they've had enough of the tediously nasal Aussie drawl I just let Dallas loose on a video as punishment.
🤣cheers mate!
@@gpgstudios9813 American?! Heh heh...
Very UNmotivating. It must be designed to put folk off((
Anyone young is finding this video unpleasant, because it involves one of life's hardest lessons... you need to work hard if you want to achieve something. More and more we look for the easy way out nowadays.
@@crosstrainingenduro I sure ain't young)) I spent my life working in a mine. I have moved back to bikes with a second hand DZR 400. The man said it is good for wheeleys)) I was just wondering what it's all about. It seems to be all about sitting on yer arse and ordering new taillights)) Hope springs eternal.
A DZR )))) Thats my Lisdexia.
