Practice looping out on purpose a few times. you'll get over your fear and also it will help you feel the spot, bc you'll go past it. OBVS, do this with flat pedals and go slowly. And doing it on grass is best.

I've been doing wheelies for 50 years, just turned 60. Here's some additional pointers if you feel you need them: Practice on a slight uphill incline - your first wheelies will be peddle wheelies - add pressure and lessen pressure while cranking. Avoid practicing in the wind, but if you must, then wheelie directly into the wind and/or downwind. An angle to the wind requires you to "turn" into the wind and it takes more skill, it will discourage you. Seat height should be as low as you can comfortably crank with power. The higher the seat the more skill required but it's easier to peddle, trade off. Gear should be as high as you can comfortably crank into a wheelie. Excessively low gears will torque the bike too much, the twist will throw you into a turn even before the wheel is high enough, keep the gear high enough so that one crank will bring the wheel up and over. Remember to use the FULL pedal crank from the top to the bottom to lift the wheel. Left and Right control is done with your knees. If you're falling to the left or right then you're not using your knees early enough to correct the lean. If you are below the balance point then peddling is required, if you are over the balance point then you use the rear brake. There is one exact point that IS the balance point, you will almost always be under or over it. Once you learn "the save" with your rear brake (front wheel slams down) start learning the art of gently feathering the brake. Learn feathering by riding on two wheels and slow the bike with a finger on the rear brake, feel the pressure on your finger and how much grip is needed. Downhill wheelies require good brake skills or ride a manual - balance with hips and knees. Thanks for a great video.

Ever driven a manual car? It's like feathering the clutch. Not full on engagment, but a sensory "feel" of whether or not you're on the pedal (or in this case brake lever) just the right amount. I presume having really good brakes makes this quite a bit easier.

This helped a lot! Still working towards holding a wheelie longer, but the first tip helped me get the right pop. Side note: something that seriously helped me was to take a quick break every time I wasn’t able to pop the front wheel correctly after about 6-ish tries to conserve energy and think about what I needed to change.

Loved the approach. In confinement had practice a lot and has been making a difference, however...can't do it properly yet. On the second bullet at this point. Crossed my mind several reasons which are coincidental with what you mentioned. Thank you for the encouragement. Think that I'm on the right track and definitely looking for that sweet spot that happens already now and then! Cheers

The hardest thing about the wheelie is to find the balance point. You explain it perfectly. You go in an instant panic right at that moment. Second hardest I find is loosing your balance to the side. Our country is in Lockdown and I have the privilege to ride my bike in my driveway and in my yard. So my goal these lockdown days is to practice those wheelies. I'm going to post a progress video eventually on my channel.

I would add if you don’t know what you’re doing wrong, then take a video of yourself. If that doesn’t help, send the video to a friend who can wheelie and ask him what you’re doing wrong.

Thanks for the kick in the pants, it was all I needed to stop procrastinating and get out there to practice. And here's the thing, I actually made progress for once. I mean, I still suck at wheelies but I suck a little less than I did last week. You're changing lives, dyude!

Dude!!!! Im back to this video after 2 weeks! And i just found my balance point and i can wheelie for almost a whole city block! Thanks!!

Great video,very thorough on explaining how to properly wheelie,great editing your voice over matches the actions.Now i just need to practice, practice makes perfect. Cheers.

One thing that I would like to add: If you can't get your front wheel high enough and you're struggling to find the balance point do this -> Instead of trying to pull the bars just right to get to the balancing point I suggest that in the beginning you actually try to overshoot that point by pulling the bar real hard (also you need to pedal hard and continue pedaling). Just be ready to plant your feet when you do come of the bike. By doing that a couple of times you will realize that leaning too much backwards isn't that bad (if you're going slow) and you will find the balancing point more easily.

Hey man. I really like your video. You know, I've practiced so much but I still can't wheelie. I watched this video more for encouragement I guess than anything because I know why I can't wheelie still. It's because I'm afraid of the balance point. I cant just get over the fear of falling too far back. Even though I know to use my back brake for a safety. Anyways I am going to practice daily until I get over the stupid fear. Lol. Thanks for the nice video. Nice clear message and straight to the point. 👌

Welp I pulled an awesome pop up and next thing I knew my front wheel was way to high up and the bike went out from under me and I bounced off the concrete. Yeeeeouch. Not gonna like it was scary and I panicked and went down hard. But I dusted myself off and after a moment ensuring I didn't break anything, I got right back on my bike. Like you said, I need a whole lot of practice to find that balance point. And Im not going to let this scary experience ruin my motivation. Ride every day! Practice every day! 🤙

Something I’ve stressed to folks I’ve coached is the importance of Practice. I think it would behoove you to give a sense of scale to your viewers, because that’s what I’ve found to be the biggest misunderstanding about mastering a new skill. I would estimate the average person needs about 20hours of practice to feel comfortable with their balance point and body movements. That’s 20 hours of actual popping, feathering, shifting, etc. If you break that into your recommended 15 minute daily ride, perhaps 3-4 minutes of which is actually useful balance point sensation... Be realistic folks. You won’t master a wheelie like this in 2 weeks of afternoon rides. And you DEFINITELY won’t master the Balance point if you’re not the dweeb in the back of the group ride that tries popping it up on every flat and manuals every dip. That’s what it takes. Plain and simple. Good luck!

i learnd to wheelie properly in a week lol

I was trying to learn wheelie and for some reason i learned the manual first and still cant do the wheelie while pedaling

Thanks for the info Brother

Really helped bro thank you

I have watch many videos like this and they give good information. But I think the biggest thing is practice, if ur inside watching videos like this how are you going to get any better. You need to be outside riding ur bike to get bike skills you can’t get better without practicing.

Some people are just nuts when it comes to wheelies! I see a ton of those kids in NY who are next level!

I looked at your videos and it took about about a month maybe to actually get everything down and be able to wheelie for second and understand brake control and bike control but your tips really helped im coming up on a year and can wheelie without my front tire and go on for blocks. My biggest tip is practice going uphill, try keeping your handlebars and knees straight (when starting out lil movement makes you go sideways) until you get comfortable, and also practice on brake control that’ll help out alot the best thing to practice that is try coasting for as long as possible or dropping back which is a liitle bit more harder

Great tutorial thank you.

I learned wheelie by practicing for 2 years, yup! 2 long years... :)

@@SimGTAandCOD Yup, I am 5 feet, I weigh less, I can't pop my front wheel. I painfully discovered how to pop my front wheel without pulling, it's like punching, recoiling your arm then release the force. :). That video above, bringing my chest down to my bar just doesn't work for me :).

@@SimGTAandCODWhile sitting, pull the handlebar towards your waist, that will make your chest be brought to your handlebar and make use of that momentum to push your fork down, and once your on the end of the rope (arms fully stretched), pedal and lean back. That's really effective to small guys like me :)

Push the handlebar down with your chest lowered near the handlebar too (do this quickly) so you can bring the front wheel up

I had the same problem; its partially subconscious fear so try this: raise your seat height. After that try and make your bike loop from an extremely low speed with 1 foot off the pedals to step off once it loops. This will make you understand the mechanics of the wheelie. Then try and make yourself loop with both feet on the pedals, you'll find that you naturally jump off as a reflex without thinking about it when you lean to far back. Do this until you are comfortable with looping and dont get that fear in your stomach.

thank you so much! I finaly know how to wheelie

Congrats on 100k!

@@richardmiddleton7770 I dont use my knees to balance I use the upper body to balance and if you know how to swerve its even easier

The idea of getting shoulders back is a good one. I practiced with that thought and made improvements in just 10 minutes.

I always thought I had to pedal harder or faster but today I found my balance point and now I can wheelie way further

My back brake isn’t working...

Honestly the easiest way to learn to wheelie is to sit on the bike (DONT STAND UP AND wheelie). And if you still arent even close to wheeling (after alot of practise). Then the problem is ur bike

so I wanted to learn how to wheelie near the end of summer and I spent almost everyday for my summer for an hour almost everyday and thank you so MUCH because I CAN FINALLY WHEELIE I'm still not to good I can get about 10 pedals and thanks so much for teaching me!

Great vid ty. Yes i too am in this state. What happens is i dont get the wheel up high enough. When i do i think my brain freaks out as to the danger and i react by putting the wheel down. Happened again today, only 1.5 crank rotations in the alley. I got up to 4, over 20' when i was practicing up a slight incline on a grass field. So I will go back to that until i have enough control to get the confidence on the road. The dirt parking lot was I think not inclined and too rough, as was the adjacent field. When i get a hang on the balance it should be easy to do it over all terrains, which is part of the point.

I've been practicing do two weeks now and still didn't even get the front wheel of the ground

Maybe it’s your bike? If you’re on a single gear bike it will definitely be harder. If you’re on a geared bike you may not be in the right gear, or maybe your pull up isn’t good enough. Keep practicing brother

Try on a lower gear maybe

It looks like you have to low gears to wheelie that fast put on a higher gear it Will be less pedaling and you can go longer

Great advice !
