- Three proven techniques to get your front wheel off the ground in a controlled manner, a crucial riding technique, not just for showing off. There's 17 more episodes just like this to get you riding at your best. / Available HERE : www.saynotoslow.nz
In Episode 18 we'll cover three different ways to wheelie.
1. Seated wheelie: practicing control, safe, and great for beginners learning to wheelie.
2. Clutch pop wheelie: great for learning to get the front wheel up, maximum control. Excellent for riding in the bush, hard enduro techniques, and obstacles.
3. The really fun one: standing up low speed wheelie - big, high, low speed, great for balance, holding the front wheel up a long time (great fun for showing off to be honest!) It's also a really good clutch control, general practice exercise and can really benefit your hill climbing. Give it a go! - Sport
Hi I'm 40 years old and I just did my first deliberate wheelie this evening as I left a dinner at a friends house. I'm addicted lol.
This I like!
I'm 70, been riding 63 years & did two great wheelies back in 1973. Unfortunately, both ended with crashing! Fortunately, I didn't get hurt!
I love how my video has become a tutorial of what not to do when trying to wheelie 🤣
Nice little nod to your channel fella👍
Lol I was thinking about you when he started talking about wheelies going bad. And then there you were! To be fair, lots of us are bad at wheelie. I broke my rib just 2 weeks ago trying this.
Good on ya mate! Hahahaha btw, I'm a fan from Cambodia also a fellow enudro rider 👌🏽
I love how your still watching videos like this ha ha ha. Legend!
@@ringonotts CZcams is my life
This is by far the best wheelie lesson I've ever found. Thanks, very much appreciated!
Yes!
Great tutorial Chris, really appreciate the way you articulate the how part really well, so practical!!👌
I've never seen wheeling so well explained and demonstrated. Thanks mate!
This is the best wheelie tutorial I've ever landed on YT. I'll practice these steps on my next day off. Keep it coming Chris! Thanks a bunch!
FINALLY a thorough and well put together wheelie instructional video!!!! Thank you Chris Birch!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Chris for the step by step tips.
I just bought both your Say No to Slow videos. Will surely have many weekends of fun watching the videos and practicing my rides.
I've been to several riding schools including a trials riding school. And I always struggled to load the suspension before lifting the front wheel for obstacles. But Chris is the first guy to actually clearly tell and demonstrate that one must only use your legs and not your arms. No wonder I struggled to do it. I always pushed on the bars..And let me tell you it is tiring. Can't wait to try it again but only using my legs. Thanks Chris.👍
It's been a year since you made this I just saw this video are you doing wheelies now
@@brianpriest7000He musta died..
This was very well done, did a course many years ago with Chris, nice to be able to keep on learning with him
The explanation on this is so detailed about the timing. I've watched many wheelie videos to try and find the order of these operations and this explains it beautifully. Thank you.
I love how effortless it looks. Meanwhile me freaking out as soon as my front wheel leaves ground for a foot lol! Practice time is coming! Also, love the scenery! Sweet meadow over there!
This helped a lot 🤘🏻 best wheelie video I’ve watched so far and I’ve watched a bunch man thank you 🙌🏻
Undoubtedly some of the best instructional videos on YT! Chris breaks each technique down to its component parts to make the whole less daunting. Looking forward to practicing and learning from all the episodes. At my age (65) I'll never do hard enduro or competitive riding but gaining confidence is worthwhile all the same.
Thanks for making/taking the time Chris. Much appreciated.
Thank you! Good to learn not only the how but also the why. Can't wait to try.
I wish I had CZcams when I was young, might have actually learned how to ride. I've learned so much now and I can't believe how much I've improved. Chris Birch is one of the best teachers on here; Rich Larson is also amazing and has a ton of content.
Facts
Best wheelie instruction video ever! Hoping not to be wheelie impaired after practicing these tips! Thank you.
I ran into Chris in the forest in Squamish, BC. A guy on a special bike and red bull riding gear. We spoke for a few moments, real nice guy. Then his whole class of riders appeared and I figured out who he was. Great tutorial Chris!
Great tutorial! I'll keep trying the technique. Thanks for the awesome video and for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Chris - BEST Tutorial on HOW TO WHEELIE I have ever seen
Great Chris
Thanks very much I am old with broken body but love watching yourself & others.
Great series we have learnt a lot.
Thanks very much Cheers
I love your videos man. Really educational and opens me up on skills that really needs practice. Also your vids are entertaining. I can say that you can create a montage of all the sound effects that you make when teaching skills.😅 Keep em coming mate. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Many bikers explained this technique, but I didn't understand well until I watched this video, so clear! You're the best teacher!
Best wheelie vid out there thanks mate, and love the clutch plate.
Awesome skills and excellent coaching - Well done 👍
There is many great riders out there.Chris is by far the most analytical with great communication skills.
I did schoolboy MX for several years in the 80s. I wish there had been a coach series like this around then. It would have saved a lot of bumps and bruises - and the odd broken bone!
Most thorough explanation. Very good
Keep it up mate! Nice instructions... All the things I need to know in 18mins. Thank you!
Very useful and hands on tips. Tks Chris!
Nothing like a Birchy wheelie, TY . Watched CHRIS many times in the KTM rally's.
This is a very good video. Once I get over my sickness I'm getting on my bike and trying these tips
Really great explanation Chris! Clearly a great teacher!!!
Glad you think so!
This is a great video, thank you. Been wheeling for some time now but love them so much I watch videos on them LOL this video Is awesome! Went from wheeling 110’s to big twin harleys
Thank You!!! For removing the handguards and clearly showing the clutch & front brake movements. Great video!
Excellent tutorial for wheelies. Well done. 👍🤙
I am trying to learn on my own and your videos are very well explained, thank you!!
Thank you Chris, this is the 1st of your videos I have seen.
Such a great video, excellent tips and experience shared.....I'll be watching alot more.
you re the best. no discussion... clear, concise explanations....
This is an excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome explanation Chris, thanks again for the video, your the boss👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
By far the most detailed explanation I've seen on wheelies . practice practice and more practice.
Thats the key!
Best wheelie video ever and I know this before even getting off the couch!
The sound effects are helpful - great tutorial
I really like this video. Very good teacher. I love the “until it’s boring” of the drills. I agree. Boring cause you have it down to without thinking about it anymore. Plus using small steps to then add them together for the entire process. Beautiful my friend. I feel far more confident that I could do wheelies if I follow these drills.
Thanks Chris. This is great. Will try (at least the first two techniques 😉)
Thanks for the tips. I definitely need to spend more time practicing
Hello Chris 65 yr old here been ridding loooong time it’s great to learn from the best.
Thank you
I'm 58 and I do remember when the bike has plenty of power , I had an easier time with doing wheelies. Some bikes I rode over the years came up without me trying. I always liked those bikes and I remembered those bikes. I remember when I was in Highschool a friend of mine used to wheelie his sportster around the highschool and I was amazed on how he made it look easy.
Great video Chris, thanks!
Thanks
Good explanation.
I’ll be signing up for your course.
Brilliant lesson - best Ive seen
What a great video mate, thanks
Best tutorial I've seen on electric bike wheelies, people ask me all the time for advice so now I can just send them this video and they'll be ripping sick wheelies in no time.
Rules are important for learning to wheelie , and the first rule is to always use someone else's bike!
Wow fantastic video. Thank you!
I love the sounds you make! 😂 Great tutorial
Love the sound effects.
Best explained on How to wheelie brilliant.
Subscribed, liked, laughed, will get your training. Well done!
I dream some night that i can wheelie well. Once I'm out of my cast ill practice some of these techniques on my wr450. Thanks for sharing! Very well presented.
Thanks Chris, some new stuff for me to try👍
The best wheelie lesson ever!
Great video so much help,,,,, thank you!!!!!
On my sons kx85 it's just throttle as well as the kx250. The new 85 has some good power 1st - 4th.
Great theory! We appreciate it.
Superb work, Chris!
I do like to play with the more technical side of riding, here in highly urbanised England (maybe not entirely true, but every piece of countryside has some sort of restrictions) there are few places to practice freely, although I do have a place where I have not been hassled so far.
This adds to the nervousness I find, however, some days I have been able to find the balance point momentarily and yet other days I have felt afraid to commit and just wheel spinned across the field!
This video really breaks down the nuances of each technique and provides insight into why that is happening, sometimes, I am more afraid of the bike than other days, it seems! And it is those days where I am feeling more afraid that I don't commit to the technique and thus don't generate the rebound from the suspension.
It is the same with wheelies on my mtb, it's all about committing to the body movement to work with the bike rather than fight against it, but a fire breathing dirt bike is more intimidating than a 1 human powered bicycle!
Great video!
Dirtbikers have their own language when it comes to engine noises. lmao
REALLY GREAT VIDEO THOUGH. By far the most in depth wheelie tutorial video I've seen on CZcams! Thank you for this!
Great video
Thank you Chris. Need to practice this.
I just bought my first ever 2-stroke (2015 KTM 200XCW) a couple of days ago and went riding with the boyz today. I’m so used to only using the throttle on 4-strokes (because of the instant torque) and found out quickly that same technique just won’t work. I kept trying to fast-wheelie over obstacles on the trail but all I got was wheel spin. Now that I watch your video I think my timing was wrong. Instead of giving power at the bottom of the compression to maximize grip, I was giving power half way back up the rebound, which I’m guessing created the wheel spin from the lack of load on the rear tire. Will practice more.
Right on, Chris!
Making it look so easy !
Thr best tutorial out from the best. Thanks
the quality of the video and the cinematics are appreciated
Excellent teacher
Really excellent, you clearly just get it like breathing 👍
Best wheelie instruction ever.
Amazing video. Thank You
Very helpful.
i love that bike you gat man.
Great video! These details are a huge help.
I just wish I had a kickstand I could trust as much as you trust yours!😂
It’s all in the Brrrrrrrrapp. 😉😂😂👍
Very well explained Chris 🥇
Great vid bro
Top video mate
You just saved lot us from lot of bruises, time and wrecks 👍🏻
im still mid at wheelies but i first learned on a lil tiny suzuki that i had broken the clutch cable on so i always used the "compress the front throw all the weight back and floor it" technique
Love it Bro...., Thank You... 👍
Thank you so much for this useful contents
That was excellent! Thanks heaps
Absolutly awesome !!!
Great vid! Just flipped my sherco trying to find the balance point haha. But will keep trying!
Great advice! Thank u sir
Great video thanks
Thank you for the tips how to wheelie motorcycle ☺️😊 I love it
Outstanding!
I am by no means a wheelie official here, but whenever I pop a wheelie on my 125 4 stroke, I mainly use the compression and rebound of the front suspension do most of my work rather than clutch. Maybe that's why I don't have quick or good wheelies. Awesome tips though. What a dude
Lesson One: Brraaaaapp!!!
You need to get it sounding just right!
@@ChrisBirchNZ, probably so. I'm better at doing actual wheelies than making the sounds. Many thanks for the video, certainly helped with my clutch-up BP.
Absolutely the best 'how to wheelie' video. As a "newbie" to wheelying I want to emphasize Chris' point about keeping you finger(s) on the clutch. If you are new, when the wheel pops up it's scary at first and you'll instictively squeeze the grips. But if your finger(s) are on the clutch, then you will also press the clutch in and cut the power to the motor and your front wheel will come down. Chris makes this point in the video but I want to emphasize it because it gave me confidence that I could lift the front wheel without looping the bike. Once I had this confidence, it became less scary and started to enjoy popping up the front tire at slow speeds in a controlled manner. This opened up a new level of enjoyment in riding trails. But it takes A LOT of practice. Thank you Chris!
Nice one! Thanks for a great comment 👍
BRILLIANT- Thank you.
Great tips, timing is everything. What I like best of this video is the sou effects. Burr.. up lol
Very good
Remind me of Nat Mountain
