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: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3p32dmul6bdkaQ.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.

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!

Most truthful video out there. It took me ages to learn as a teen, as well as learning to manual an mtb. Now I spend an hour in my garage each day doing Graham Jarvis balance and bounce drills as a 35 year old. There’s no substitute for practice.

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!

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.

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.

Just pull the fuse and give'r.

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.

@crosstrainingenduro

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!

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.
