Dirt Bike Wheelies Are NOT Easy! Wheelie Progression
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ค. 2020
- I'm back again learning my dirt bike wheelies. My wheelie progression is coming along ok. Still a lot to learn and practice. It's all about training and putting the hours in. I self admit I've been slacking when it comes to effort and training but I'm still trying to improve my balance and clutch control.

*At the end of the video I show you how I clean my bike and what products I use in case any of you are interested*
yes i am
GREAT VIDEO
I just picked up my 1st KTM 125SX is a 2012
it has the true 150cc conversion
new cylinder, piston ,crank and more
its like brand new only way better
so crisp
40 yrs young and cant stop smiling
thx for your content it helped me make the best decision ever
i love it
im new to wheelies too and doing a power wheelie in the powerband on my cr85r works a lot better than clutch
The winding is in your starter clutch’s sounds like
um the wistling was just the estarter
So this series gave me inspiration to try and practice wheelies....couple days on I’ve snapped my rear fender and cut open my knee🙂seeing you snap the fender and carry on has also given me the motivation to do so
Can u wheelie yet
Bru ok so me my sister her boyfriend and her two kids were outside having a small cookout and I was riding my dirtbike in the yard trying some wheelies and the grass was wet so I couldn’t really do it but my dad came up to me all confident saying I didn’t know what I was doing and he got on and put it in first and looped it within 2 seconds and broke my back fenders that I just got a week ago 😂
Should have Ronnie mac’d it and you wouldn’t have those liberal problems
@@shauncry1917 haha 69 aerodynamics
Yeh that’s what happened to me but it was my uncle
Luca Sprunt wouldn’t have happened if u Ronnie macd it bud
Good to see you learning your brake control, That's the key to a good wheelie
Fuck off
@@lorcano4804 Its true, Its how you scrape, coast, slow down. And ride them longer.
@@shanedeeley4741 seems like it
I don’t even use my brake 😂
@@wideopenfilms9207 Well if you want to do a good wheelie learn the brake control, It will save you from looping out. And then you can scrape and coast ig you're good enough
I have snapped over 3 rear mud guards trying to wheelie
”Mud guard” its called a rear fender
Take them off you silly guy
Götberg I live in Australia we call them a rear mud guard
Mud gard in uk
Bailey Morris I’m Australian too I live in nsw and ride a KTM 300 2 stroke enduro. But we call them rear fenders or back fenders
Put both feet on the pegs, there's a reason that you keep circling left it's because your left leg is acting as a counterweight
The video we've all been waiting for! Good vid and good luck for progression!👍😄💨💨
Glad to see your progress already. And also glad to see how you washed your bike cuz it always looks like new in the vids most of the time! 🔥
Last video was nice, looking forward to more! I'm super hyped for hitting my local terrain in the next couple of days, new tires installed, new grips, new hand guards, de-rusted and treated spokes, thorough deep clean, bikes been on a bike health spa :)
Keep at it, it’ll feel like your getting no where for ages then bam everything will just click & you’ll be on ya back wheel everywhere you ride.
Nice job MX. I really enjoy your videos and this will make you feel better. You are doing much better than me and I have ridden for years. Could ride a wheelie on a bicycle forever, but suck badly on a motorcycle. You are getting it. Take care.
Me too!
Nothing wrong with taking your time on learning the process in the correct manner, safety first mate! Good riding is safe riding.
Brilliant video for me because I am going through exactly the same frustrations! Good to realise that I am not alone!
When doing slow speed maneuvers ,drag the rear brake. It weights the rear more making turning more stable as-well as acting on the gyroscopic forces on the wheel
with the one leg down wheelies if u put your leg back you go left and if u put your leg more forward you go right and also love the videos stay strong.
Good to see u improving in wheelies.👍
keep the progress coming buddy!! love your vids
WE LOVE THESE!
Love the videos man!
Keep it up!
Believe it or not this is helping my own progression!! 😄
Yaaaaaaaaaaa bro I am trying to do it to your so much better than me and your bike sounds great
Great video and tips, and beautiful place ya got there. It still always throws me off how y'all call your yards the garden haha
Keep it up bro..even with a 125cc pitbike..I'm struggling to slow wheelie on balance point..
I'd like to see you try standing wheelies. Would force you to use both legs on the bike and an awesome trick i've learned is to drag the back brake just a little the whole time and with steady throttle you can ease up and keep level the wheel with the brake pressure. Please have a go, good luck!
Love the vids your amazing keep it up
I need to get out and do what you’re doing but it like 98* and 70% humidity here in the states. Nasty!
Personally. I would recommend starting on pavement up a hill to get a feel for your balance point. I started on a dirt road in 2nd gear. Keep practicing!!
Let’s see another wheelie update 🤘🏼 good stuff
like if you agree that he should do a bike build series
Your vids give me so much amusement. I’d love for you to see me my “progression :/“ live the vids tho keep it up🙏
Just realised your camera stand 😂 Love it!! Keep it up 💨
Love the vids
Hey man I’ll help you out I’m a almost going pro on a 250 2 stroke for free styles and the best way for practice is getting some speed in sec gear and then rip the throttle to get it lift up and wisky it
Hey man I like the video I just recently purchased a drz that's tarded and bin practicing wheelies too. Any way the whistle when you start you bike sounds like the starter is not disengaging just my own opinion
Love your vids!!!❤❤❤❤
Cool video. You almost got it. Keep both your feet on the pegs.
if you want to train balnce mark two points and try to get to the other point as slow as possible it helped me very much i hope it will help you too even tho i think you have acully really good balance
Maybe you could either cut the fender so it bends up instead of breaking? Or even remove it while learning wheelies? Just a though, love the videos. Thanks for the awesome content
Good progression on wheelies. Got my son and I learning to. We have opted to learn on an Oset, which is going well to feel the balance point. You can see our progression if you want at our channel.
Keep it up mate😁
New to the channel first vid , hav u got a rekluse clutch on that thing
Big tip before yoh drop the clutch press the front forks in and press the front brake the with the rebound of the forks drop the clutch and give throttle will pick up much easier
I’m pretty sure the starter whistle is just it spooling down after it’s turned over the motor. I have some other vehicles that do that
Do you have any problems with your bike overheating with all of that slow work? I have a 2018 KTM 300xc but I don't have a fan kit on it. I boiled mine over one day practicing slow wheelies.
Haha looks like me! Glad I’m not the only one who isn’t like pro at it
I really love dirtbikes
Bro, regarding wheelie, I recommend you find a meadow without holes that is slightly inclined and then try to wheelie uphill, it should be better and easier to move the mental barrier then, and I still have a question, did you think about making a small enduro track or motocross in the garden? : D Greetings from Poland
I don’t think the neighbours would be too happy 😂 thanks for the tips buddy. I will try it ✌️
Konrad Siedlanowski, I used the same method on my 2008 yzf r1 going uphill definitely moved the mental barrier for me as well. By far the longest wheelie I've done thus far. I know what you're thinking, it's kinda dumb to be doing this on an r1, but its my only bike and I never had much interest in wheelies when I was younger riding dirtbikes and 600cc sportbikes until now. I am taking baby steps also, so I don't wreck my 🏍
On dirt bikes; I learned to wheelie by using the power, to smash the throttle, or another good one, is to blimp the throttle.
Hey man! Was just wondering what dirt bike you had?
Good perfomancee ..actually what is the size of the rear tyree
My dream back yard!!! Nice , l drive 1 hour to rode my bike😂😂🤷🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️
Bro that’s a very powerful bike
I was practicing to get good at wheelies and I got a few scrapes and bruises
Learned to wheelie on a 600cc sports bike so it was pretty easy for me 😂
For ur wheelies u should always try todo them in second because u are on a 2 stroke. I've seen so many of my mates start learning wheelies and end up looping because they hit the powerband
Bro ur good, i suck, i cant even do that. Unfortunately i dont have anywhere to practice em tho so that dosnt help
Boots looking fresh 😂
You have some good videos bro!
Thanks man. Glad you enjoy them
That whistle noise is the turbo
Are you ever going to get a new pit bike? I miss the pit bike videos so much, and I think I've waited long enough for a new one! 😂
Wheelies never old, they’re not repetitive
that whistle is the turbo dont worry
The whistle is the turbo dosing
That whistle is just the electric start don’t worry
The next jarvis !!
Im gonna be stupid for this i know but im gonna take a string or wire and loosely tie it round the foot peg with the break so im forced to use the foot break to bring myself down. Cant seem to keep my feet on the break🤦🏾♀️ FULL BODY GEAR THO....not that itll make much difference😅
This is where a 250 or smaller is better since they're generally geared lower. Hard to do slow wheelies on a bike that idles at 15 mph.
KTM, keep taking money!
How do I learn to wheelie while keeping the back brake covers and still being in the middle of the seat comfy
raise your rear brake lever
The whistle is normal dont stress about it
The whistle could be the starter my bike was that for awhile and then it didn’t start
two things. 1. take your finger away from the clutch when youve popped it up. get in the habit of only using the back brake to bring you back down when you need to.
2. are you squeezing your right leg to hard on the tank and thats why you drift hard left with one foot down?
It’s been 10 months now, we need a progression update!
Your bike seems to run rich, i might be wrong. Great video tho!!
You need to put both of your legs down to find your balance point and then move to your feet on the pegs
Where did you Get your goggles?
Dont try and do a wheelie try and keep the front tire off the ground for a set distance dont worry about your speed then go a longer distance also practice lifting font tire of ground 6 inches as much as you can in a short set distance tip grab a hand full of clutch
That is terrible advice... your just chasing out the power and it doesn’t help at all. Doesn’t even help you get more confident. Brake control comes first than wheelies come slowly after
Which throttle cam are you using, stock or more aggressive?
Stock
@@MidWestMX I switched to the more aggressive cam but think I will go back now as it's easier to control when you want to lob the front wheel up.
The whistle when you start it is the electric start turning over the engine
Carter Stennett 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.
I struggle loads with seated wheelies, stand up ones I find easier, but that's me coming from a trails bike I guess
morpheus One yeah I had a motocross bike and struggled to lift the front wheel up at all then I got a trials bike and only a week on the trials has made it miles easier to pop the front wheel up
I’m exactly the same
Learning to wheelie....speed is your friend .......
What bike do you have
Better wheelies then me ;)
I really wanna get a bike I don't know where I could ride if I got one though 😢
Go for a Little bit of speed and not a stans still you hade the power to sit and pop it in first and way easier to keep it straight
Seat time is how you wheelie some people things work for them them and not for others practice practice
It says 2 views ,11 likes ,and three comments HOW CONFUSING
Don’t start your wheelies from a stand still makes it harder to get balanced during the wheelie and if you start with a little bit of speed it’s easier to keep both feet on the foot pegs which is key to a straight wheelie
You would probably have a better chance trying them in second, going faster is gonna help you balance the only thing in it’s gonna be a little bit scarier at first tho
Put your foot up!!!! The best tip you can get
Thanks for sharing, but I got one question...,. Why on Earth are you wearing goggles 😂🤣
"Mudd just falling off" as you spray it with a pressure washer....
I think you’re just putting too much thought into this just do it nike also practicing on a pit bike should definitely help you you got this m8
I need a pit bike first :)
how do you record your voice?
Tried to wheelie my supermoto for the first time and busted my ass in the grass. Dumped the clutch n had 0 traction lol. Stock supermoto tires.
You never take your foot off the rear brake. If you would of pushed the rear brake you would of never looped out. Practice small clutch ups and put each one down with the rear brake. Once you get to balance point it actually gets easier.... happy wheelies and wear your gear
They are easier when going faster than slower!!
Try do a rolling wheel might be easier from a standing still . Keep pressure on the rear pedal at all time. Down side is you go threw rear pads quicker
I go through rear fenders quicker :)
You gotta be past the balance point and ride the brake, I'd do it when the bike is on a 12oclock
@@MidWestMX me two
Are you going to ride at aberbeeg in the future?
Maybe. It looks a decent place but very busy
@@MidWestMX that's fair also do you see yourself doing anymore subscriber rides
Maybe at Aberbeeg :)
@@MidWestMX oh yesss:)
I will recomend ntklifes wheelie tutorial
Seen them. He’s too good
