No broken fenders.. Looks like some wheelie progress to this dude!!!! A little front and or rear brake dab. when your weighting the suspension right before the clutch pop. is a game changer!

Respect to folk who are good at wheelies and respect to you for showing how hard they are. Love the content.

first off, try finding an uphill slope to practice on. much easier to learn while going uphill. Then start by popping it up and then "slamming" it down with the brake. protip is to drag the brake all the time, its probably not good for the brakes long term but when you are learning it is reducing yourisk of completely losing the brake. slamming it down and draging the brake will give u some sort of muscle memory connecting your head to your hands and foot. when u start getting a feeling that you have brake control u should try to do first gear sloooooow wheelies just trying to stay as close to the balance point as u can. still on a slope. this is the scariest step because it feels really wierd and scary to hit the balance point but u just have to push over that point and after that you just have to grind to control speed etc. then youre good to go. i've done this on bicycle, small moped, big moped and mx bike and it is the best method in my opinion. btw idk if u already do this but wear a backbrace because it gives u lots more confidence.

i just went outside to try and wheelie my 300 and idk if a chest protector is what your talking about but it sure did give me way more confidence.

I've been behind on watching my KZreadrs lately but Midwest never ceases to amaze, make me laugh and entertain. Keep it up xx

Man, I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video for over a year! You just need to do it more often, get out there for an hour every day, after a month you’ll be doing a wheelie around the whole yard. I’d keep watching these videos.

ive been waiting all day for this vid and its going to make my day keep it up love your stuff bro

Hahah another great video 😝 can always count on you for the laughs 🤙🤙 you didn’t snap a guard so definitely have improved since last series 🙏

I actually enjoy these training videos Mr. Marvis. Bought the wheelie bar you used previously and it's on my 300xcw, works great to give that little bit of confidence. My advice is to keep using it brother, it really works. Don't get me wrong I still suck but just a little less so every day. Remember this is a confidence thing, I've seen you ride and you're plenty talented.

Your wheelie crashes are so famous that Chris birch shows your video to tell how not to do it. You still trying after all those fails is commendable.

😄 the baby shoe is genius. A couple times this year I could have used a consistent wheelie. I'm putting the bike back to stock gear next spring, and new tire, and givener

love your videos dude!

Tpi baby!

You have content has been getting better and better every vid

Keep at it mate 👍 practice makes perfect

Good stuff mate! Can't wait 'till i get to start myself next week 😁😁

Great video mate!

Bro I actually need this and love ur content been subbed for about a year now 🤟

Keep up the hard work. It will pay off. I’m learning still and on a yz125 is kinda hard

Ride round with the back brake on a bit so your all ready pressing it before you pop it up, this tip helped me loads

haha, loved the original wheelie series because i was doing the same thing. I can say that the bike is better than you had on the first videos but, the rider is pretty much the same😂😂. What i like to do on slow wheelies is hit the front brake to compress the forks and on the upstroke do the clutch and gas. But honestly on a 450, you really don't have to try very hard. Good luck bud and see ya on the next one.

What really helped me, and how I would recommend you learn wheelies is by doing the following: So I did a lot of mental preparing before actually doing balance point wheelies. The whole time, while I was going about my day, I was contently imagining myself pressing the back brake in a wheelie. When I say that I mean every ten minutes, I thought of it, for about 2 months. I really didn't want to loop my bike cause it has a number plate and just a bunch of stuff that's going to break if I looped it. So I really prepared myself properly. (I learned on a Honda XR125, a bike with 11hp that weighs 25kg more than most dirtbikes) And then I started to go towards the balance point, and just started using that back brake, like I trained for years. So that mental training really helped. Obviously with the XR being a very very hard bike to get up into a wheelie, a very hard part with it was first learning to get the front wheel up. But of course with a bike like yours with more than enough power, getting the wheel up isn't the problem. Then from there I just practiced. First just in first gear, cause it couldn't pic up in any higher gear, then learning to switch to second while wheeling, and then I got a Yamaha DT175. A very similar looking bike, but tonnes better, with more HP and only 107kg. That is about what a modern enduro bike weighs. And then I realized what I was missing out on. I instantly started learning circle wheelies, because the DT did it sooo effortlessly. The XR just wanted to go straight. It took me like 3 days to get used to the more power, now 17,5hp, and then I was doing wheelies up to like 3rd 4th gear. The XR really thought me the technique because it is such a s*hit off road bike. Now I can do circle wheelies, pivot turns, wheelies to like 4th gear and about 85kmph. So I would really recommend you prepare and train yourself mentally. Then you can learn wheelies without ever crashing, if you're very carful of course and take it slow. Until this day I only looped out once, and that was when I got so slow in the wheelie, that I pressed the brake, but it wasn't enough. So I slid off the seat and stood behind the bike with my hands on the bars. Then letting the front wheel drop down to one side, never falling over. So my bike didn't even get hurt.

I do really love your videos❤️

I already have a pair of havocs but I could always do with an extra pair lmao. Your getting better with the technique. I can see the difference from last time👍keep trying buddy you'll eventually get it

These wheelies are getting better then mine 🤟🏾🥳

i aint good at them either but you will get it you just need to try more often and get over the fear! letssss goooo marvisssss

Ya know the difference between you practicing wheelies and me practicing wheelies? I didn't video mine lol. You really captured my pain. I am not meant to do them, but I keep practicing. Love the videos 👍

Nice kicks mate 😁

Preformence anxiety, that’s the excuse I use for sucking so bad at wheelies. Appreciate your time and efforts M8

That was wheelie good 👍

There’s a really great video by a guy called corkycanstunt. He breaks it all down into 8 steps. Some of them may seem a bit trivial and boring but they really help with teaching you the muscle memory you need to get used to the back break control. You’ll probably never loop the bike again if you learn it in the right order. How I learnt to wheelie my supermoto not looped it yet. Loving the content! Keep it up. It’s making me really want to start riding enduro!! Looks like such a laugh.

Mate them pivot turns are looking good, something I'm currently practising

Great video. Now I am off to get a pair of baby shoes.

Keep at it youll get it man 👌 atleast the bike dident loose its rear end this time 👍

Great practice. I just need a few hundred like that and I'll be good. 💪

No....keep showing the videos!

Get Jarvis to give Marvis a lesson in the back yard.

Man get a Rekluse rear brake and you will love love it. You still have the clutch up there but one a wheelie or big down hill you have a easy rear brake right there

i love your vids

I have recently got a 1994 cr 125, once I get my clutch and fix my rear brake I will try to learn to wheelie

First person on it lets go love the content

Love from Nepal❤️😉

Oh mate , I feel your pain , could never wheelie my old chopper ( yeah , I am getting on a bit ) and still can't wheelie my dirt bike . Only time I got near I grabbed front brake as wheel came down and got a fractured nose to show for it.TPI Dude.

Have you tried turning it on and off though?

Subscribed! You're a better rider than u give yourself credit for!

If you've got access to a light sports quad, learn on that first - you'll be able to loop it out slowly and it'll just sit on the tail, kick it over and try again, and again, and again. You'll be learning just the one axis (throttle/brake) instead of both balance points (throttle/brake & left/right), learning incrementally helps with confidence, learning consistently helps with progression.

Aww, I can't put in for the giveaway because I don't have instagram. I still liked it though!

You should do review on wheelie support kit that's for sale on amazon

2018 one was so funny 😂👌🏻

Why did you stop using the ABS wheelie bar?

What matters is that you keep trying. Someday it will just click for you.

cant wait for the days when you and your buddies are all wheeling together

I agree, Quit while you are ahead! I too am obsessed with wheelies despite the fact that riding a slow wheelie has never been needed anywhere I have ever ridden.... I wish you had tried longer with the wheelie bar. I am thinking of buying one but have yet to see anyone make a progression video so I can see if the damn thing works or not...

Bro. We’re like wheelie bros 😂😂😂😅😅

I’ve just started to learn my mates Ktm 300 2021 I wheelie it in 3rd or 4th

Don't feel bad, I can wheelie worth a crap either. Always could on bicycles but not on a dirt bike. At least not far. Thanks for the videos.

You need to come to Portugal 😂

try to find a steeper incline it makes things easier at the start ..Once you get the feel of the balance point it will be like a light switch and you will go forever ,its all about thoughtless actions soon you wont think about it and it will be easier .... but the steeper incline is the best way for me anyway to start ..good luck ,

Need to hug the seat more with your knees marv! Squeeeeeeeezzzzeeeee

Ps. Love the vids too.

I would try this. Sit still. Get the front end up. Find the pivot point where she easily comes over backwards. Ease it down and repeat until you know where to stop before that. Then try it moving

I wasn't born with it either! Keep practicing it will come

New subscriber❤️

You do it in first gear right ? I bought that same bike

If you pop a wheelie and you go immediately to the side it s usually because your not pulling the handlebars with equal force on both sides

I do a lot of wheelies and it’s easier to learn going a slight uphill and dry land. and main thing is to trust your back brakes.

What happen to the wheeli guard

I recommend using 3 gear. I am on a ktm 250 xc-w and 3 gear is perfect for the yard doing wheelies.

Great videos buddy as always my advice would be try and let the bike come up to you rather than trying to pull on the bars and with one leg down try and allow your foot to slide across the ground rather than try and run with the bike in the air it feels weird to start with but you will gradually put less pressure on the foot that is on the ground being able to skim across then you will be able to lift your leg as you get used to it with practice and then keep your foot on the pegs hope this helps

Something I always tell people trying to do new things is get good

Man loved that meet up at saint wells can’t wait for the next and I’d love to win the give away for my brother pls we’re both big fans

Turn your garden into a mini enduro loop

I'm literally in the same boat as u I can pop it up and ride it for a little but cant keep it up for a long time

Get yourself a wheelie bar, helps you find the balancing point without stressing about looping the bike 🤜🏼

Don’t start off a stand still go like a alright speed in first then pop the clutch an stamp on the back brake you need to start rolling so you don’t pull to the left

huge fan but. one cuestion wath types of bikes do you have? sorry for bad english .😅

Yeah I totally suck at the one wheel wheelie. So I just pretend I am riding wheelies. Works great for everyone involved. Hella good circle wheelie. Graham was even jealous I am sure.

really trying hard to wheelie but i just can’t!😤😫

❤🔥🔥🔥

Whats your fav colour just asking brother

That sucks as I’m not on instagram lol but I’ll like the vid anyways 👍

You should collab with someone who’s good at wheelies and get them to teach you or go to a wheelie school because they are generally pretty good

GoPro settings next?
