I've literally watched 100s of "How to Wheelie Videos" because well I can't freaking do them :( This is the only time I've heard to keep your arms extended and look-up. Holy crap took the trials bike out in the yard for 10 min today and was getting the front wheel 2x higher and traveling 6-10 feet :) Thank You !!!!

That explanation of the body being back to lower the front wheel and achieve balance point is the best tip I've heard to date! Great video!

Man I was decent on a bike and could wheelie great on a ttr 125, 230, and even a CBR 600rr street bike. That was almost ten years ago now I'm 33 and picked up a cfr450r a week ago and I didn't realize what I got myself into man I was too confident instead of humbling myself and getting a 230/250. I'm also 6'2 and 260 so I didn't want to get too small of a bike. My overconfidence wrote me a check my damn balls can't cash 🤣 this 450 ain't nunn nice and refuses to be tame

​@316Speedshop Big as your ass is you should be able to handle a 450 for what you using it for. 16 year old race them that's 5'7 170 pounds.

The more you are forward with your body, the more concentrated the weight distribution is, so it's easier to wheelie over and the overall filling is zippier. The more you are leaning backward- the mass distribution is WIDER, so the balance point IS wider too... It's called "Moment of inertia"! Great video!

Thanks Tire Guy, after watching lots of how to wheelie you are the only one that has explained the balance point of leaning back so the front wheel doesnt have come off the ground as far. Best explanation ever.

For anyone who needs a visual: What angle do you have to balance a stick? Straight up and down, like this L -> l What angle do you have to balance a V? Straight up and down but the left and right arms are lower. Close up, you are like the l. Sitting back with arms out, you are like the V. 10:25

Rich you definitely have a talent for explaining the techniques, and breaking them down into steps that makes learning to do them much easier. Thank you. You have helped make me a better rider.

Yes! Thank you very much. The narration and new learner scenario was very well done. Rich, you are a very talented teacher/instructor. Thank you for your time.

A lot of good tips in here. A big breakthrough for me was to look straight ahead when popping up (rather than down at the bike) and waiting for the bars to come into view before tapping the rear brake to bring it back down. Then I gradually started looking up a bit higher.

Thanks Tyre Guy, I was putting your tutorials in to practice today (straight arms and lean back) learning my slow wheels, not there yet but getting better. Greetings from Australia:)

I find when I’m doing wheelies that I don’t really use by back break unless I’m really about to go over but I mainly use my clutch to bring the front end to where I want it. It took me a few tries falling of the back to understand where the balance point is and to realize that I can bailout onto my feet to build some confidence. Great video! It’s alsways good to watch what other people do to see what I can do better 🤙🏼

Instinctively hunching forward during the wheelie which shifts the balance point even further back is exactly what i needed to know. This great explanation will get me closer to nailing it. Thanks Rich!!

Best teacher... And that student is by far a good student for this.... If was able to learn fast it was gonna be hard for some of us to learn.. all the mistakes he made landed the opportunity to learn from... Good. Job

By far the best explanation of what is happening when you are doing a wheelie I have seen. All the other videos say just do this and you should be doing them without any effort. It makes perfect sense. Thank You !!

Best wheelie video so far! Best advice I can give is exactly what you say. Start with the foot on the rear brake. Pop up and then brake. And this is gonna feel reeeeally weird, but you can brake AND be on the throttle. You want to pop straight to balance, then keep a smooth steady throttle, and brake as you need it. I’m still trying to perfect it. I got a ABS wheelie bar on my WR250R and it’s the perfect machine to learn.

Best wheelie video for beginners out there. Thanks Rich!

There's so much cool stuff you're teaching us on these videos. For me all your how to videos... the 3 basic hard enduros techniques, how to fall, how to get unstuck, all the way til double log jump...are like enjoying the best seafood dinner :) i enjoy both your hard enduro technique and the way you transmit it. Braking down all the techniques and focusing on the common mistakes...love counterintuitive!! :) I myself am a teacher and enjoy watching your skills and how you expkain them for us. I enjoy riding enduro every week since I was 29... I am now 46 and notice I am getting better through your tips and practising your techniques. Now I am commited to learn to wheelie finding that balance point! :) Keep doing these amazing vids and best regards from Spain. Th

Absolutely the best how to wheelie videos. Great work.

This was a best ever wheelie vid. A great enlightment on body positioning 👍

Rich, absolutely the BEST wheelie in instructional video on the web. Thank you!

Haha, YES, you're doing it Mark! I got the biggest smile watching you do the circle wheelies at the end. Keep going and going, you're getting it.

That "balance point" is nicely pointed out. Well done guys! Great work!

Dude I've watched alot alot of KZread videos of ppl teaching other ppl how to wheelie and none of them have done like u those other guys all they say is pick it up put it down with the rear break practice that they say but they don't explain everything else unlike you my man you are a great teacher and one thing I like is that your explaining everything great job and thanks 👍💪💯

Great video Rich…. the best wheelie tutorial I have ever watched…. thank so much!!!! Happy Thanksgiving 🤘🏽

really enjoy these videos with Rich. He's a natural on the bike and his enthusiasm comes across on camera

definitely one of the beset how to videos ive watched in a long time. great stuff!

Thanks!! Make's way more sense going back and forth instead of just watching someone who already knows how to wheelie . Also thank you Mark for being the student!

His head position was the biggest factor that prevented him from making progress for a while.

Yep, kept bringing that head and upper body forward. Thats a common mistake in any technique. Weight comes from your hips not your chest and head.

Absolutely a great video! You are an amazing teacher, 10/10 🤘

Rich, You are the best vid instructor by far, love your breakdown of movements, etc. I look forward to meeting you this summer as i am planning to go to endurocross events this summer. I am not quite there yet on buying a expensive euro unicorn bike and beating the hell out of it although your vids are pushing me!

Absolute gold! Regarding learning wheelies as well as being alternatively entertaining to watch.

I’m feeling so bad about having a tough time with wheelies right now. Lots of great tips in this.

This guy is an absolute natural when it comes to explaining things. Its like i dont have to think hes just putting the information directly into my brain 🤣

This is by far the best way to teach a person how to wheelie thier bike I leaned as a child but teaching my son has been easy with KZread Chanel’s like your

wow great video awesome teacher and Mark great job really a great explanation of wheelies

one of the best lessons how to wheelie, thank you

If this guy keeps making videos, this channel will become as popular as any other channel. Also…my wheelie skills just increased.

Excellent as always.

Rich, always bringing it! Good work Marc!

Best wheelie video I've ever seen man!

Insane video You are the only one who talks about de position and about the left leg thing You actually helped me a lot with that Thank you!

Alright, I really need to learn on my 110 now....great video. Keeping the head back and not leaning forward was huge.

Even on my 250 I do that. Even tho it power wheelies through 3rd without a problem with the right seating position... I think IM scared because I'm 5'8 on a big bike learning to wheelie and it's so high up there lol

Having straight arms was key information for me I had never head that said before. Good info.

Definitely better learning wheelies from a newbie trying to learn, I understand so much more now 👌👌

This is actually a really good how To video. Better than most. Well done

The best teacher/explainer yet.

Rich, you are awesome. This is my favorite enduro channel.

The enthusiasm alone is intoxicating, it is *amazing* how great of an instructor you are. I am trying to learn on a 94' klx650 and I am terrified that the thing that weighs twice what I do will fall on me and me/it breaks something. I am 5'8" and I can't touch the ground without doing that sideways thing that we short people have to do (Yes stopping/going is a pain). With that I am having to just send it and hope my instincts come through while watching your video with my phone mounted to the handle bars for emotional support.

Rich - You are really, really good at this!

Man the way you break that down is fantastic

I know to to wheelie, somewhat. And this is the best wheelie tutorial I’ve seen. All points that you need to know are here

U being the counter weight is a great point!

Great info in here. I’m still trying to get it down. Always trying to pick up tips. The arm extension about 10-11 min. Counteracting the balance point. SOLID.💯🍻

I learned a long time ago, but I will tell you, if I had one of those bikes, I would be more confident. I learned on a CRF 250 and was scared of it falling on top of me. 😂

That is the best how to wheelie !!!!! Thank you !

Please make a part two! This video helped me so much! Please make a second video to follow up from this one

I just bought myself a 2021 yz250fx and I really wish I could start doing wheelies been riding for over 10 years just got into some Hare scrambles and this was a great thing to watch for wheelies

Love the clowning around! 😂 Keep it loose, keep it fun🤙

Just turned 76 and bought my first dirtbike ( ktm450). Today I'm going to try these tips, thank you!

Great work I learn just watching

great explanation of how to have the confidence to go for it. thanks

Best tutorials on KZread!

Wonderful Teaching skills !!!

I imagined that what I would look like trying to do wheelie. I enjoyed the video 💯

Great explanation with so much fun to watch! Now we are talking!

damn such a good explanation out there. Cant wait to try those this weekend. Thanks to the Guru 🗽🗽

One tip that helped me if you have access to a wheel chair they are really easy to wheelie and learn the balance point. I got really good in a wheel chair and then a 110 3 wheeler. I'm still not that good on a dirt bike though. I need more practice for the side to side balance. I'm going to try that one foot down thing and see if that helps. Thanks!

Not so sure about the smaller bike being easier…The Z50 has been my lifetime wheelie nemesis! 😜 Awesome instructions! 😎👍

Excellent vid good teacher, seem like a really nice guy UK 😉🤙

Hearing the tips he’s giving me and it’s almost more helpful then all the stunt riders advice I ask for even more so explaining how you make the balance point lower by shifting your weight back more someone told me it was easier being farther back but didn’t explain it like that what so ever hopefully my next set of wheelies will be better

Wow! What a great lesson. I can’t wait to try!

Great Lesson - many Thanks!

🤯🤯🤯 I'm gonna go loop it tomorrow . But this is a great video .

Talking about counterintuivity ™: To avoid the tendency to pull the handlebar towards you and lean forward with your head to your chest when lifting the front wheel, the MTB Schools here teach you to initiate a wheelie/manual by going into the attack position, compress the suspension and then lift the front wheel by actively pushing the handlebar away from you. You would think that by doing so you push the front into the ground instead of lifting it up but it works like a charm and you are automatically and inevitably in the right backward position with your arms extended. I find it works even better on a motorbike because you have motor power/clutch to help with the lift…

Hahaha that was so entertaining, keep it up guys. Normally tutorials put me to sleep

Best wheelie tutorial

Your a great coach!

i wouldve love to have seen you pointing out that the pivot point is the back axle, keeping the left foot planted next to it provides the stability to hold the bike still. keeping the left foot at the axle also give the brain a direct orientation (of bike angle vs body angle vs gravity/momentum angle) which can help train the inner sense of balance and balance muscles. also wouldve loved to see the focus be on getting him up to balance point and back down with the right foot on the brake the whole time, doesnt matter the distance. that aside a very nice video, great job for improvised instructions

this was exciting to watch

Wow- great video. Thx.

I can wheelie anything but that's because when I was a kid I would get on my 3wheeler or dirt bike and literally spend all day doing wheelies. 👊✊🇺🇲

Know perfectly how to teach exact , so cool
