Are u guys forgetting he said he's not comfortable with ridin em out yet, is chopping as soon as he gets it up and isn't comfortable with clutching yet??? Do you really think telling him to skip first and start learning stand-up wheelies in 2nd, knowing that u have 2 b rollin around 60mph and above to pow pow in that gear is good advice????? Stick with 1st and pow pows for now buddy, until u get used to keepin the wheel up for a little bit, believe me all these guys that are giving u advice learned 2 wheelie in 1st and I'd b willing 2 bet that they all started with pow pows too. Wheelies as with any other stunt are all about progression, start out small and work your way up, once u feel comfortable with the wheel coming up in 1st then move on to trying to ride em out, once you can ride em out its natural progression to want to start clutchin so you can get em up sooner and ride em out longer after you've got that down then start tryin to pull up 2nd, when your ridin out 2nd then start poppin standups and find u some bp. The best advice I can give ya is find a nice secluded spot, a big abandoned parking lot, industrial park, old airstrip, whatever, something with no chance off traffic and plenty of room on both sides, you'll learn more somewhere like that in 1 day than u will in a week off rollin on public roads. U have the wheel comin up consistently, thats a good start, now instead of chopping just start lettin off the throttle a little less each time until your ridin out, the fear will gradually deteriorate with time and practice. Z posted a really good sticky on pow pows in the stunt section its called wheelie 101, give it a read. keep ya gear on and ride safe. Good luck!!! :thumbup:
