get it into 2nd gear and wind it up a little bit and hit the throttle. I should have enough power to get it up. Start out easy b/c it takes a while to get good at them. Use you back brake for "balancing" it. If you start to feel like its going to go over backwards, hit the brake just a tad to bring the front end down. Don't use them very hard, just takes a very slight tap to counter-act the balance of it. It takes a long time to get good at wheelies and yes, you will crash a few times. You'll get the hang of it and like I say, if you can figure out how to use the back brake properly, you'll be able to ride 'em good. I've rode mine long enough and know how to use the rear break to my advantage and can pretty much ride one until I want to sit the front end down. Took a lot of practice and a few crashes though. If you can find a slight incline or a small hill that is long and has a gradual incline, it's usually easier to ride them on it. |
