I am 60 years old now... I can remember the true feeling of riding a wheelie as far as I could.. that feeling that you and your bike are the only two things that exist in the whole world.. true bliss and finding your zen as you ride a wheelie down the neighborhood street.. not caring or even thinking about who might be watching.. it really was a different world way back then 9 or 10 years old.. peaceful serenity.. nice to see you can still enjoy finding your zen at nearly 60 years old.. fun to watch and Thank you! Rich! for sharing with the world!
I'm 50 and two years ago I quit the cubicle life and started working at a bike shop. While I don't have my Western Flyer Dirt Duster from the late 70's, I now have a 2020 Giant Trance 29er 2 and trail riding. Keep rolling!!!!
Thank you Richard for making this video. I was that kid, wheelie as long as I wanted to, even around the block. I’m 65 now and thinking about buying a stingray JUST to see if I could get it up again, the front wheel, that is. This has really encouraged me
We did all this stuff in Jersey in th 70's! Tight streets, cars on both sides, building ramps out of scrap wood. Hell, the parents not only encouraged this they used to watch and clap! We used to dream about doing this in California with the weather. Hats off to you. Never stop. Stay
I'm 55 and can still "Mono" my MTB the length of my street.... It might not mean much to most... But it's a skill you never forget and always makes me feel like a kid again with a big fat smile.. Richard's vid demonstrates the pure joy that comes with a few of the simple things in life.
My brother just passed away this Saturday 7/3/21 he was the wheelie king he still could at 60 Thank You
I identify with this 1000% I still have my Schwinn Stingray dad got me in 1967. I wouldn't trade it for the world...miss you dad.
The coolest dude on the block in any time period.

When u wheelie hard for so many years the hair flys out the top of your head and doesn’t grow back
That's right brother you know what's up. I love and miss them good old days bigtime buddy. May God bless you and your family and friends.
And to think you live long enough to do it without wearing a helmet. Hats off to the Baby Boomers.

I'm 70. This brings back good memories.
Who ever could ride the longest wheelie was DEFINITELY considered the “coolest kid in the neighborhood”!
Why do I have tears in my eyes.... :)
