I learned to wheelie on a 24inch cruiser. The bigger the bike and wheels, the easier it is to wheelie. Good breaks for feathering is very helpful too. The real key is lots and lots of practice. There is no magic quick way to learn. keep your back straight and just practice. You can catch me in City Heights, San Diego doing wheelies on my SE monster quad! Keep practicing and stay safe!
Pop it down (the suspension) Then pull it up And go down with your hips (make sure to have a low seat) Make pressure on the back wheel Gg ez pz lemon squeezy
It’s a leveraged point you have to think when your in a wheelie your torso is behind the bottom bracket line. So when that bike falls forward your leaning forward to shorten the bike and get in front of the bb then lean back. We loose a lot of watts pedaling behind the bb line. Your bike is nice.
I don't ever us my break just didn't still don't i should tho lol But i learned with out so now that do i don't even think about it... manuals are on point but they were from the get... it's funny I actually got one of these bikes just because I'm into BMX bikes I could wheelies when I got the 29er but they are different balance point is much higher especially riding with low seat but that's what makes it look so good........... I'm old school so I'm more into jumping gaps dirt jumping whatever you want to call it just ripping through the city using any curb any tree root to pop off of trying to clear driveways with bunny hops you know stuff like that and the 29ers amazing for a big guy I'm 6 ft 1 200 lb and I can rip five stairs so far no problem landing gear front Forks it holds up
The enthusiasm in all your videos has really motivated me to get off my ass and go ride my bike. Big bmx bikes are a lot of fun to ride especially for old farts like myself. So thanks again for all the awesome videos Alf!
My thoughts exactly. I want a bike run-through! I want a 29” big bmx bike but I also LOVE the feel of those dirt jumper front suspensions. But can’t find enough info on that type of set-up!
I was a poor ass white boy, I rode what I was given lol I was given a 29'er. I had to get on my bike off my Stairs and only go down hill because I couldn't reach pedals, leaning so far forward and still barely touching the grips. That's how I learned to use a Bike lol appreciate the Video my dude 🤟
A mowed grass field is good for those resisting the tailbone bump or butt rash😜. All jokes aside loop it out let that brake lever be your best friend. Have a strong friend hold your front tire while your on the brake at a stop so you can feel the break over line. Dude my boy popped one on my old Marin b-17/2 too fast he went past 90* jams the back brake and chirped the rear tire was so sic. I’m a well bellied balled 40yrs old man. And I be busting wheelies it’s so fun. Make sure your bike has that nice tall geo STACK and easy/short reach. I’m with you manualing is my goal but yet I can manual sitting down it’s weird. God bless you and have a happy new year.
Man I raced as a kid and couldn't do wheelies like you. have a 26 and as an unfit 30 year old it hurts so much worse then I remember when I stack dirt jumps. I wanna pop a fat wheelie more than words can explain 😂
For cruising, you want to get a bike appropriate for your size. I'm 5'10 so a 24" or bigger is meant for me. But if you're doing bmx racing or tricks. You want a 20" and just get the right top frame length for your height.
Would you say that your dominant foot is the same as what foot you push to ride a skateboard? (Since me and you both would use our left foot, we would be goofy)
I was practicing wheelies yesterday and came down hard and the front pointy part of the seat went right up my a$$ hole 😣😣😣. No joke though that shit ripped the skin right out of my hole and now I'm terrified to ever try a wheelie again 😂😂😂. I wanted to yell from the pain I was in but people were outside and seen so I held it in and ran straight into my garage shut the garage door and yelled every cuss word u could think of 🤣🤣🤣 I was violated by a SE seat 🤦♂️
Basically just go fast stand up off the seat, then pull up and sit down on the seat all while using your petals and when U fall back tap your back brake to get longer wheelies :)
I’m a 12 yr old whos only 4,10 but i can wheelie my 26 inch blocks flyer but i still don’t understand how kids my size are wheeling 29 inch bikes, my dad is 6,3 and he rides 29!
He's on a Throne. Careful tho because some thrones have a huge front sprocket. You want something with a 33/17 ish ratio. 29 inch bmx bikes for the search
geometry is everything. I can throw wicked high bunny hops on my buddy's BMX, but the bike I learned on was a huge heavy downhill bike and I can barely get her off the ground.
Hope i can help a few of you guys who are learning! Stay motivated.
i have a problem like my bike is a bit big for me is that a big issue?
@@Hame23 How tall are you? I've seen kids that are like 4'8-5'5 on 29ers. But if the 29 is too big , try a 26!

This is a classic. I remember trying to drive like this when I was in kindergarten and elementary school :)
Thx man just got my throne 29er and this helped me alot
Thank you man this vid made me good at wheelies I broke my arm from wheeling but I still do it
That's one of the best wheelie tutorials I have seen. Cool video. 😎 👍
I can pop up but i just don't know how to lean back it's not that i'm scared i just don't know how to lean any tips?
Same g
trust your bike use your brake and if u need to lean against a pole and get to ur balance point and get comfortable in that position
When you pop it up kinda make a sitting motion while pedaling, if that makes sense
Pop it down (the suspension)
Then pull it up
And go down with your hips (make sure to have a low seat)
Make pressure on the back wheel
Gg ez pz lemon squeezy
@@pholiux1418 when I pick it up high enough It feels like I’m gliding but still can’t sit down and keep the wheel up and I have my seat low!

Are there gyros available to hold wheelies for you? Rear hub gyros? Frame gyros? Should I invent an affordable one? Would you use one?

A Goon with front suspension, is that custom?
Yup
@Alfredo Mancuso What type of suspension and freewheel do you have
CJ. Is the man!!
Hellya he is!
its heavy!!!!!!
What bars he using ?
Lots of good tips there
Hey! Thanks.
Suspension fork on bmx. Ive been thinking about that.
SoftballCrazy 831 btw its not a bmx it a se bike so you actually can use suspension forks

Good tips

Would you say that your dominant foot is the same as what foot you push to ride a skateboard? (Since me and you both would use our left foot, we would be goofy)
Is that new haven
What are those tires I haven’t been able to find any fat tires for my 29
What's the frame size and how tall are u
I just got a 29” and can’t only get 2” off the ground
I’m a beginner and I got a 29er is that good?
hey im 12 years old and i have a 29' big flyer im 5'8 and I cant find my balance point do you have any other tips?
Keep practicing
Me too my bike is so heavy I can’t find balance cuz it sooo so heavy and it mountain bike
@@ninjakhmer1190 did you get it?
I got a big flyer and im 5,5 cuz I didn’t know what one to get and it’s really heavy and hard to pull up
Do you keep less air in your back tire to help you balance or do you like it with more psi?
How do I pick up the bike if I’m weak
Technique. Not strength
some people can also pick up without arms its all about the foot and leaning back

Front shock on a Bmx. Now that’s interesting
Bruh can someone please tell me where or what this bike is called 🙏🙏
how he get his crank so load
It’s not his crank it’s his free wheel
@Assault WIN7ER What type of freewheel?
Thank you
Do you tap the brake the same time you pop it up?
how many tooth sprocket are you riding? 33?
Another good video cheers ✌️
I’m struggling to get the wheel up, I get it a little bit up then I just go straight back down any tips anyone?
Lean back a little further than you think
i got a big mountain bike should i wheelie it or a bmx?
Him: As soon as you go too far back hit on that rear brake
Me who has a broken rear brake: *Bruh*
same mine works but it doesnt work like before it works enough to stop though but i cant skate the back wheel
What type of fork is that? It’s like mountain bike fork on a big bmx
Yea what suspension are thoes
@@compstops160 Im gonna take my bike to a shop and see if they can put suspension forks on it like this dude in the video

Hahaha not necessarily
Pants to avoid pegs wheelies burns

How tall are you?
CJ is 5’11
I dont use my back brake
Does seat height play a role?
Yes, the higher the seat is, the lower the wheelie, the lower the seat it, the higher the wheelie goes
is it dangerous?
What's a willy?
I'm eleven and I'm 1.47 tall can i wheelie a 26 inch bike ?
