How to wheelie “ for beginners” transcript

what's going on you bunch of [Music] Fess so today after people asking me forever make a will to video chck come on do it I just now feel like I'm good enough to make one these people keep going slower and slower and slower it's a Tollway it's 75 anyway um so I finally feel like I'm good enough to make that video cuz I can officially drag my tail on the ground um granted it's the stock tail but it's like a 12 I'd say it's a little past 12 o'clock is where the tail is and I can hit that and scrape that's been a goal for a long time and I finally got to where I can do it pretty much on demand starting to wear the tail away um anyway so now I think I can make the video I'm going to make the video this is just for beginners for people that flat out don't know how to Willie at all newbie Riders whatever um um it doesn't involve foot break it oh hello I wonder why if you watching me um anyway uh it's not going to involve foot break I don't I don't teach everybody oh go to 12:00 and just hit your foot break that's a terrible idea you're just going to Loop and trash your bike and most people just get a bike and want to know how to wheelie and not destroy the bike well this is a simple way to do it it's just you just whe below balance point it's not that hard I used to do all time back when I didn't know how to use foot brake I never wrecked my bike my jiger now granted I did Loop my WR that was just the one time we don't talk about it um I didn't even learn foot break then much much longer much later after that I finally learned foot break uh anyway so rambling I'm going to roll up to the lad I'm going to do just a couple simple little things just to show you the idea what it looks like on top with your clutch and your shift and what gear and blah blah blah my bike is stock gearing I got it set up stunt wise now with my bars and clutch and everything but it's still stock gearing same as any other bike off the lot the showroom floor I mean um I like it that way it so I can go fast I don't like to be limited to 120 mph or 130 fast it is when you go up teeth so uh yeah yeah um so we're going to jump to the lot here see if you can uh hear it scrape okay Jose step one how I normally teach people is power wheelies which which means no clutch you just throttle most every bike will come up like unless you got like a Grom or a Ninja 300 250 if you got like a big boy bike like a [Music] 600 no clutch um anyways most universal bikes if you just rip the throttle and yank back a little bit and give the throttle like a bounce like a let on let off it's going to come up they always do but if you don't want to learn that way then you can learn by the clutch and that's just where you uh give it a little gas like about you know whatever 20 30 mph and then you just flick the clutch and hit the gas when you do it like [Music] it's pretty simple it's not that complicated but anyway the way I want to teach or the way I teach everybody is that just go through the lot and do like a really small wheelie and Chase it out just like that that was maybe like a foot off the ground cuz you're not going to be able to go straight 12 you just it just doesn't work like that you just don't instantly know how to do that but you can come through the lock just a little just like that little flick and then a little [Music] throttle and all you need to do is try to stay a foot off the ground and then repeatedly do that just keep on doing it until every time you try to wheelie you can just oops every time you chase it out and you keep it about a foot off the ground um and once again it still works with just throttle up so no clutch going about 30 I yank [Music] [Applause] it and a wheelie um I got a video of Riley which I'll jump to [Music] that and so that's what he'll eventually look like he's at the point where he's about to start actually really needing foot break cuz he's right there and he knows how to foot break he's done it before he's almost tipped the bike all the way back and scraped a few times and uh so he knows how to use a foot brake um foot brake that's later stuff you don't need it when you're only going this High the bike comes back down no matter what happens even if you hit a bump and go higher you're still only a foot or two off the ground it's not there's not going to be enough to where the engine doesn't even need the engine brake like I can really uh I really right now I won't touch for brake see how quiet it was the idle like had it at 12 I never touched my foot brake most of the time I don't I only touch it when I dip back cuz the bike's uh motor will pull the bike back down without you needing to hit The Brak let just go around 30 m now hour clutch out little yank of the throttle Chase once you uh start consistently chasing the wheelies out at the same height and you're just like perfect every time you flick you're right here and you stay here until you run out that's when you need to start raising your bike up a little high higher and you just keep doing that repetitively you keep just getting Heights and then eventually you're going to need foot break but I'll make another video about that and then like the end [Music] result just be able to do stuff like that um and I think think I might do another video explaining stagger too cuz a lot of people get in the habit of standing on the rear pegs and Wheeling because it's easier and it is easier but it also makes you pretty much stupid when it comes to doing sit Downs cuz a lot of these guys can't do sit downs and they can only do stand up wheelies and if they jump down and try to do a sit down or use their foot break they're used to their handbrake they can't do it and me I come in the lot and I learn doing sit down so stand ups for easier so I kind of w up everybody not everybody I mean Poncho he can he can kill it watch I'll get him to do it too Poncho hey you me you come on come on come on do it with me do it with me really come on buo oh you you're cheating you're doing a stand up too slow oh he's got stunt gearing stunt gearing he's got a 552 sprocket I got like a 43 somewhere in there 43 45 something like that anyway we'll get into foot break and standups and stards in a different video bye
