    Ahhh, the wheelie. She can certainly be a cruel mistress, but does she have to be? My contention is no. It boils down to three things IN MY OPINION:
    1) Use your torso to get the front wheel up.
    2) KEEP YOUR ARMS STRAIGHT!
    3) Don't rely on pedal power to keep the front wheel up. Just deliver enough input to maintain the balance point.
    I firmly believe that you'll find success if you adhere to the above input.
    Now, you have to factor in some time to get comfortable finding that balance point I speak of. I'd suggest a few things for that:
    1) Find a nice grass field with short grass and a subtle slope. Going uphill makes it a bit easier. Flat pedals might not be a bad idea either.
    2) COMMIT and find that balance point...then blow right past it! Make sure to get your feet off the pedals of course.
    3) Play around with gear choice. It'll take some time, but you'll find the optimum gear for this practice setting soon enough.
    Find your spot, find your proper gear selection, commit to finding the balance point, and HAVE FUN!!
    Peace out dumpers!

    I've watched tons of wheelie tutorials, but this is the first time that addressed a problem I was having that wasn't mentioned until now; me trying to use my leg/pedaling to keep the front wheel up, which resulted in me basically accelerating the whole time and trying to keep up. Thanks for a very helpful video that really provided some key insight! Cheers!

  • @maplic
    @maplic Před 4 lety +51

    I have found a very easy way to get the initial lift on wheelies without using any energy (which is key when learning because the lift can get tiring) is to just grab a tiny bit of front brake just before lift to dive the front suspension and then lean back with the rebound of the fork. Works the same on motorcycles, like a charm.

      Hey Rich.
      I'm currently practicing my wheelies while in Lockdown. I'm making a progression series on my channel.
      czcams.com/video/gxTYd5Uwn8Y/video.html
      I must say, after watching many videos I'm not too sure who to trust anymore. Some say that initial pedal power is what you need to lift. Others say it's in the torso. I don't feel anybody is wrong. I think it has more to do with how comfortable you are with what method. But me... I'm going to try your methods. At the moment I have about 6 days of footage that still needs to be processed but I'll give a shout out to you when it comes to your tips. I find it hard keeping the arms straight though. My hips don't want to work in my favour.

  • @ronr6450
    @ronr6450 Před 4 lety +1

    In my early 50s. Never tried to wheelie as a youngster, but I'm learning now. One thing I would add it to not look down (like at your wheel). Keep your head up/back, maybe focus on a distant object. As soon as you start tilting your head forward, your wheel is going to go down. Think of it like this...your head is like a 15 lbs pendulum...if you swing it forward, you've just shifted your ballance point significantly.

    The best break down of how to wheelie I've seen, and I've spent too much time watching CZcams videos, so I should know. :-) It's so cool to see you show the "non serious" side of your personality. Paraphrased..."I like to refer back to some of our deepest philosophers. The hips don't lie. You should listen to Shakira...she knows what she's talking about." LOL Outstanding. Also....the "I'm going to head you off here...yes you can wheelie anything." You KNEW that was going to be the first question, because it always is.

    About 40 years ago I could do a wheelie for blocks while operating a Yo Yo. I rode a Schwinn Traveler road bike. I never used the rear brake. It got scary fast. I had a seated wheelie. My buddy who was equally as good as me did a standup wheelie. We would ride and compete for distance side by side. I remember going so fast and I lost the balance point a few times and had to run. I discovered many times that I could not run over 20 mph!

    I turned 60 last Frid Jan 7 2022. Fortunately when I am on a bike I am 17 all over again, and this is the year, I re-learn to wheelie, which was called a 'cat walk' back in the day.
    Bikes are configured much differently now, as opposed to pulled back ape hangers and a banana seat, but I am thinking some of the old magic is buried somewhere and I will get it back.
    Also plan on jumping, but don'y think I will make it to back flips this year. Never did much jumping as a kid we were always going to some pond or other adventure. Your content is excellent, I will subscribe a bit later...I want to make a little progress and feel worthy! - Cheers

    If you have watched numerous wheelie tip videos like me to get that front wheel up and don't succeed. I have had a light bulb moment watching Rich's video.
    Set the playback speed @ 10:18 to 0.5 - watch this part of the video in slow motion as much as you can until you see the key to lifting the front wheel.
    Worked a charm for me. Notice how Rich's arms extend with his torso after pre-loading the front end, only THEN does that front wheel lift. I think that is a big key move to the wheelie. Set's you up for a good body position moving forward

    This video was great!. I was a pedal pusher alright, go figure, small change got me to wheelie more consistently. Need a HOW TO BUNNY HOP. Your teaching just make sense

    • @richdrewtherideseries
      @richdrewtherideseries  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks for the feedback Louis! So pumped you're getting that wheelie down consistently now. I've been trying to breakdown and write out the Bunny Hop how to and it's getting there. My man Kyle Warner does a pretty good one, you should check it out. @kyleandapril

    I'm 50 and on day 5 of learning. I'm getting occasional moments when I get it right up (the front wheel 🤗) and feather the brake but I then suddenly loose momentum peddling. I've been videoing my efforts so I'll eventually start uploading my progress.
    One thing that helped massively which was mentioned on another tutorial was to look up at where your going, not at the handlebars. Every time I do that it lifts to the point I need to hit the brake really easy. I guess it's helping to keep my back leaning back.

    In Germany we use the right index finger for the rear brake as well.

    • @richdrewtherideseries
      @richdrewtherideseries  Před 4 lety +1

      Rich Drew I think the front brake, right hand rear brake, left hand thing is just in the UK.

    • @ExplosiveNotes
      @ExplosiveNotes Před 4 lety

      As far as I can tell, it's on which side of the road you should ride / drive, on that side is rear break.

    10:15 Yes! I will just like everything I try or go to achieve I do get it even time after, but the important part is that I do get it,
    I haven't learned because I don't have a helmet and covid-19 smash my pocket here in Latin America, no job for 2 years but I got my bike to feel free.
    2:18 that sounds like lots of power in that trow back torso, but it makes sense, lift whit that and just pedal as required.
    3:42 that is the same thing I think of, I saw that is the same normal sitting riding position, and that FIX is a GREAT KEY LOOKING AHEAD the bike lift easy, and my head still hurt but no bad symptoms, only stiff neck, pain on my spine bone even when I swallow.
