What people don't understand is that if you line up after a bike with a slick has made a pass . Even your street tire now becomes ultra sticky gripping against the rubber on the track. You can either move over out of the standard center or change your RPM. Those things will help keep you from setting the wheelie record for the strip. I learned this in 1989 on a v65 magna I set the record for wheelie clicking through second gear beating a Harley-Davidson in the end , it's was a puckering experience.
It always surprises me when people think that good traction is the cause of a wheelie. You think the other bikes are spinning the tire, and that’s why it’s not lifting? 😅 Poor clutch setup on the slider or engagement (if it’s hand clutch), or bad suspension. If your bike is spinning, the prep is bad. Also there is no record for “wheelie clicking through second gear” anywhere. Edit: Holy frig there is more: NEVER tell someone to line up outside the tire groove. This will cause more problems. The glue that hasn’t been ridden on gets gooy. Which causes tires to lose traction. Jesus man… you’re gonna hurt someone.
I learned this my first time at an actual track too. Had been playing on the street for a while. It never really acted like the tire was spinning on the street. But, got to the track and tried to launch it the same way and all I saw was sky. Was a bit of a surprise since usually that bike wasn’t prone to wheelie that bad. Still had fun. Ended up running against a guy that was similar speed a few times. I could usually get him off the line, but by the time I hit 3rd he’d be coming back around me.
@@lennydetloff1031 lol you make a wrong turn on TH-cam somewhere pal? Imagine always going slow with everything you do because you think “speed kills”. Sounds like the least amount of fun.
man tell them bikes have a weight limit and at 70 get off the stupid fast bikes and hold on damn looks like they just hop right off the bike at 190 some people just don't have enough sense to be allowed to do this KNOW YOUR LIMIT and stay below it and if your 350 stop killing a motorcycle please it looks so bad
Bet you these are riders,who come across money and weren't willing to start from the bottom up.straight to the top, because they saw it tv.yeah looks easy, I can do that.

Hey man if TX2K has Rue Paul's name in front of it, you're at the wrong event 🤣🤣🤣
It’s nice that travis Pastrana knew you Jack.
3:18 No scars no marks except the bump on his head😬🤫🤣
You know there is time when you should pull in the clutch and come off the throttle. Some of these guys need to learn that.

Great save at 3:21👍💪👍💪👍
Racing jack! Where can I guy get your awesome stickers??!??

Crew: Turn?... This is top fuel why would you need to turn? Look.. just do what Spiderman does, you'll be fine....
Rider: Wait, what?
Yeah, they thing with this mega long extended swingarms.... Now if you wheelie, you are REALLY high up!
Love it,the guy flips,his bike is still going down the track. He is up and picking up his parts before the bike stops .🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

@5:08 I guess they don’t make leathers in his size, so he had to go with a track suit.
WoW when things go wrong at these speeds and the horse power its amasing that there are more serious injuries.
I think you need some spelling lessons!! 🤪
This is the one video that you do NOT want to be featured in!!!!!
At my age, I'm happy I can still putt my rides.
This is the shit we like uncle Jack the sneaky ladies man😂❤😅
Thought we'd see a couple Kelly Clontz crashes!
I’ll just stick to growing tomatoes and sitting on my bench
