Everyone who can’t wheelie watching the how to wheelie tutorial number 351, thinking: “this one just cracked the code for sure”
Bruh that's literally me. 😢
Yup I watched alot of wheelie videos and still cant do a wheelie
You just gotta lean back really hard, keep ur arms straight and ur all set it's a scary feeling tho xd
Like when u was on my 26 incher i couldnt wheelie fir shit but when i got a 27.5 i could wheelie alot bet te r
@@eliasjansson9375 that's actually true
i learned to wheelie in 3 months, i did not have any experience with MTB or anything with bikes. And these are the things that helped me the most:
1. The rear brake, and falling backwards. Once you kind of lose the fear of falling it becomes easier, so train on falling on feet backwards and train in soft ground like grass and not pavement.
2. Keep pedaling, these was one of my main mistakes. Once i popped one wheelie I started to pedal really fast until i cannot do it anymore, then i start losing balance and fall. But use your rear brake (just tap it) when you reach the point of pedaling too fast.
3. A really important one, once i kind of learned to wheelie. One day i just could not do it anymore, the whole day my wheelies were really short compared to the day before. And this solved everything: the air pumped in to the back wheel. This still matters for me right now. If i have too much air i lose balance i have too less i also lose balance and can't almost pop the wheelie. So make sure that the air pumped is on point for you to wheelie.
4. Training too much, at my first like 2 weeks, i was training hours and hours per day to wheelie. But my progress wasn't that much, so eventually i stopped training everyday. Instead i started training once every 3 or 4 days. And that helped me a lot. I'm not sure how, but it felt like my brain processed better what i was and wanted to learn, i'm not sure but it helped ME.

I started wheelie at age 9 and learned it on a Trekking bike and even back then it wasn’t to Hard no I do Wheelies for 3 years and start to learning manuals One and no handers
Make him pop a wheelie on a tandem bike!
That is something I really want to see

Look I've learned riding a bike in pretty late age when I was 7 years old. 7.15.2010 And I've learn it in couple weeks then learned one hand, no hands, no hand stand up and just continued to do things on my bike then i've started doing wheelies for couple times and was Scared and suddenly it was November and I couldn't drive till April and when I got back on April I started to see some six graders do little wheelies and started doing with them but that lead to me getting bullied by them but used that negativity to motivate my self. Then when summer brake was over in 2011 I came to the school way more talented than anyone and their reactions was priceless.
*Train alot like alot alot* and never be scared of falling off eventually you will land on your legs and the most important part is learn how to use your hand brakes
And make it tight so you can one tap

Straight facts
*My wheelie guide & a little story: *They’re hard at first & you really need to be motivated. I’ve always seen people wheelie & was like I really want to do that and just the feeling of keeping a wheelie for a little bit while learning is just such a happy feeling. I put my mind to it and it came after about 2 years lol. I never get bored of it & never did because I loved wheelies & wheeleing. I’m pretty good now and I’m getting better & I surprise myself sometimes with what I can do. It really
Is practice. One thing I found is sometimes taking a day break from practice or 2 day & coming back can really help. I remember it clicked & I was like what I can do it now 😂😂. *Learn to get the wheel in the air first.* start on a low gear & petal your brains out trying to keep that little wheelie going. (*never look at your front tire - it really holds you back*) Don’t even go for a balance point at this stage just work on keeping the tire in the air for just a little bit even just a couple pedals. *Second, try to get a balance point going.* balance point & holding it can be hard but try to get the feel for a balance point and start practicing with the break a little. At first, you’re just going to slam your tire to the ground or forget to use the break at all (*make sure to land on your feet. It’ll usually come to you but everyone has their falls) work on feathering the break to where you can pedal after your first brake touch without falling off the bike. The brake is the most important aspect to holding a long wheelie. That brake will be slammed the first times getting into the balance point because honestly, the first lots of times getting to the balance point is scary & personally I tossed myself back onto my feet a lot practicing. Eventually, when you get to that balance point & you can feather the break & continue the wheelie, just practice. Don’t stop practicing these techniques because it *WILL* come to you eventually - your level of motivation really plays a part. Don’t even start if you aren’t willing to continue & fail. Failure is a huge part & you will get mad, but use it to your advantage & try to learn from it. I’m no wheelie expert but I can sure wheelie & hold it for a pretty long time. I wrote this remembering all the practice I did and personally these were the steps I went with. Watching how to wheelie videos helps because you can learn a thing or 2 but just watching them really motivates me to go out and wheelie. As long as you’re comfortable on your bike you should be able to pull it off. Some bikes are harder than others but anyone can wheelie their bike (with exceptions). Good shocks really help. Thanks for anyone reading this far & I hope you learned a thing or 2. Comment what you think & stories if u want.

I actually figured out how to wheelie at night on a pretty dim road. It's easier to feel the center of gravity, then to see it

Just use a blindfold
My thoughts exactly!!! Thats how I did it, i usually got scared when i could see the front of my bike lifting from the ground.

Same I learned the basics in a grass field at night. I still when possible practice at night even tho I have been able to wheelie for almost 4 years it’s still fun to practice in a lot at night.

Probably the most inspiring video about wheelies I've ever seen.
A few secrets of myself doing infinite wheelies for nearly 20 years: When starting to learn it: Angle ur saddle a bit forward (easyer to maintain weight on saddle and less strain on arms when in wheelie), and have a proper rear brake. A RB that is too powerful and snappy isn't what u want either. My Shimano xtr brake is very nice for wheelie modulation but i've seen many other brakes that sucked for wheelie control. Also, practice stepping off the bike by flipping back on purpose, at low speed. Keep hold of handlebars when landing on feet so ur bike doesnt damage (this becomes alot more difficult if saddle is too high - medium saddle hight required, or low). Low speed is key, not more than 10mph or 16kmh but start way slower and build it up! Landing a wheelie gone too far on ur feet is a great way to create trust and faith, cos you know in worse case scenerario, u can land it on ur feet. If you want to know more, reply in this thread and ill get back to u soon. Here is a vid of my friends group from many years ago, where we're all nailing all kinds of wheelies. Good times! th-cam.com/video/Z71NcRRaRqw/w-d-xo.html

You maybe saved my life. Gonna try those Easy Wheelies
Give him a monocycle and tell him to ride with his front wheel lifted

Leader he needs to wheelie a bike with no wheels

@@zachattackp1566 big wheel bike with the little one in the back is not monocycle is that "PENNY FARTHING"
@NebularCrystal it's possible, just not as easy
me and my friends taught ourselves how to wheelie. it was the summer between 7th and 8th grade, and we spent the whole thing drinking monsters and practicing wheelies in a large school parking lot. by the end of the summer, we were able to swerve cars, wheelie for blocks, uphill, downhill, coasters, off of curbs, etc. we were both on entry level xc bikes that costed around $400. a few years later, i’m still able to wheelie like that, but the a skill i never got down was the one hander. that shit still feels impossible even though some of my friends can do it forever.
Im in the same boat man
One hand is easy tho
just find the balance point where u can almost wheelie without using brakes and then try to onehand
You realy need to squeeze the saddle as tight as possible and get the right side of the bars towards you. If you dont realy have any grip on your saddle it gonna be impossible. You could try holding the seat with your left hand that worked for me
He mentioned the wheelie gene and now Billy Jean is stuck in my ear.

Congrats on your mastery of the one wheel trickery!!! Now we gotta meet up and teach you how to manual!!! Excellent video as always.
Great video! My struggle to master the wheelie has been similar to yours. I can’t wheelie wheelie great yet, but have belief now. Apresssssssh the encouragement. Also thanks for the beautiful Vancouver footage. Stuck in Ontario and miss Vancouver so much!
Your brother's wheelies were next level back in high school. Seeing him disappear down the street on the back wheel was equally awesome as it was inspiring. Glad you were able to join the club!
this ain't just a mtb video, this is a masterpiece
What a feel good story at the end...those wheelies at the end. That's what I'm talking about. How good is Ryan!!!
Wheelies are easy, I just can’t do it
lol
learning the wheelie took me 2 years. Don't be afraid of leaning back, and "hang" on the bars. This is the best advice i can give

I've been able to wheelie for over a year now, and I still find it entertaining to watch tutorials, its almost more entertaining now that I know how to wheelie.
I used to be a noob at wheelies but in April I started practicing wheelies and guess what, now I’m also a wheelie wizard!
Filip Dagerholt for how many months??
5 SOS- Dont Stop The Vamps- Rest Your Love 4-5 months but after like 2-3 months I was able to some short wheelies
I been doing wheelie for almost 5 mos but still cant do it😭😭😭.. 5 sec is my longer wheelie
5 SOS- Dont Stop The Vamps- Rest Your Love NEVER GIVE UP!! some day you’ll master it
in 4'th grade me and my friend group consisting of 3 people started contesting about who could wheelie the furtest, and we kept on wheeliing and we pushed our self to wheelie the furthest, and now i currently hold the record with around 300 meters, but the others dont go out biking anymore, and the one of us that wheelied the furthest before me had a record of about 250 meters wich he got a about 4 years ago, wich is about the time he stoped biking, and now i'm in 10'th grade and i just beat the record mabe 6 months ago by myself, and the person that had the record started doing drugs in 8'th grade, and did if for a year but he is on his way to recovery now.
and this is a true story
When I started riding a motorcycle, I practiced wheelies a few times but never mastered it. I gave up riding a long time ago but maybe I’ll try on my bicycle.
Dude i had the same thing and when i got a bike after 5 years i learn it in less than one month you have to be just patient and believe yourself.
my progression of learning the wheelie really was one of the best experiences, wish i could do it over
“So I assume it’s in his jeans” 😂😂 somethings just never sound right
As soon as you said you brought in a pro to train you I knew it had to be Ryan Leech! His coaching site is very worth checking out none of this 123 and you'll be a master but solid step by step tutorials with feedback along the way
With Ryan Leech it's more like 1-50 but you get results.

I can do wheelies btw
@@blacklistdrivestyleZ so then why did you say"Once you got a living legend as a fucking private coach"
To be honest, this video has inspired me. Not to practice wheelies, but to search the yellow pages for this Ryan Leech and hire him to motivate me and call me out on my mental BS. What a guy!
Also: "Wheelie Gene is not my lover."
This is a very good idea of how to wheelie. My top tip is to drop your seat. start by dropping it by half. Unless you're me, i slam mine. Keeps that front wheel niceeee and highhh. Also, my top tip #2 is. If you haven't looped out a wheelie and smashed your butt/back on the pavement, you won't be wheelieing anytime soon. YOu need to loopout a wheelie a few times before you get it, or you're never know where to start feathering the brake.
For some reason when I’m riding and someone says “pop a wheelie” then It works
Complete opposite for me
Alex Reeder every time I try a wheelie I can basically do it until someone wants to see it and then I want to kms.
I loved the vancouver public art integrated into the video, I see them so often but its cool looking at them in a different light
Next winter, ‘wheelies are hard’
salute to the videographer of this video...excellent framing!
Thats wheely easy to do.
I tried learning wheelies for 2 years and barely made progress. But in one night everything just clicked. A mix between feathering the brake, keeping arms and hands slack and loose, pushing in with the hips, and having a smooth pedal stroke allowed me to learn 4 times more in one night than in one year. Essentially, if you stay committed, there's no way you won't learn to wheelie.
Man, why did I only try hard wheelies when there are those easy ones.
you can do it ! I was such a noob and frustraded a few months ago, now I wheelie pretty good. You just have to believe in yourself and train a few times a week
this is so relatable I wheelie cant believe it
This was me learning how to drive(manual). I know what i had to do but was so bad at the begining. If you have the knowledge of what you have to do, keep trying is sesions. At the driving school I was driving 2 hours each time and did 15 courses. Now i feel like I could jump in a lambo and own it :)). This should keep you motivated if you cant wheelie!
I wanna see Ryan wheelie a recumbent.
that last shot was soooo good

Thank you Ryan Leech for being the reason I mountain bike and trials ride! Wheelies are the first thing I learned, and the first thing I try do on any bike to see how it feels.
Which Gear ist the best to do a Wheelie
Lukas Linke I use 3rd cuz less than that would be slow and you wouldn’t be able to go far and more than 3 will be so hard to pedal so I use 3 it’s the best imo or 2
@@z3ddd OK i will Test it
Thank you
depnds how fast you want to go - low gear = easier to pop it up
Best wheelie video I’ve seen. I’ve had some mental blocks myself.
Call him up say
"Hey remember you said you can wheelie any bike?"
And give him the BACKWARDS BRAIN BIKE!!!
Bet I could Wheelie it...front wheel isn’t on the floor
As long as it has a rear brake
Ellis Berry have you seen how that bike works
Lewis yeah I have,I can wheelie a bike from a standstill without even letting the front wheel touch the floor,so I have no idea how backwards steering is gonna be any type of hinderance...riding it normally is a different story
Ellis Berry Oh wow... I just realised how stupid I sound. I can’t believe how dumb I am 😂😂

I was just about to undergo gene replacement therapy to fix my recessive wheelie gene.
I needed this. I’m stuck learning to wheelie at like 2 pedals, I’m glad I’m not the only one that really struggles 😂😂
I need to learn how to wheelie
you need a bike that can wheelie first. then it just happens.
I think it's all in the in the start stroke of the pedals. You may have got your front wheel of the ground or made a couple strokes, but you'll need to really pedal after and it won't be worth it. You need to really push when the pedal is about to give way and make a stroke. After that, it's about keeping your weight under control and then you're set :)

Ya Matt!! Took Ryan’s wheelie course and learned how to wheelie in 30-40 days pretty well. Kept practicing those skills and now it feels effortless. He breaks everything down super step by step. Best way to spend $30!
OMG there was LittleHarry15 in the video!!!
Ryan Leech is also one of the worlds nicest people, like even by Canadian standards. Stoked to see RL still kills it.
You should de trying to wheeles on a hardtail its so much easier
No its not. I still can't do em. 35+ year riding, I have great balance. Can';t do em either. I cna actually manual further than wheelie and i can't even manual that far (3 mters max). Only ever ridden rigid bikes. Some folk are just great at em.
kudosbudo a hardtail is easier trust me
i can ride pretty well and one of the most important rules is leaning back and before you lift your bike stand up then sit down and while sitting down drag your bike up and dont use too much power while doing it then just use the brake slightly to control your wheelie
Whoever that one dislike is must be confused
I disliked
I think the music choices for this video is very underrated. Great selection for every scene man 👍

WHEELIE GENE IS NOT MY LOVER
I ve been struggling to learn wheelie for 1,5 years and i figured out what was wrong: pressure in my back tire was too high! When i dropped from 2 bars to around 1,3 bar i learned it in just 2 weeks, now without wind i can do few killometers on asphalt while on back tyre :D
The dislikes are the people who can’t wheelie
It always helps to think about yourself wheelieing through the city for insane amounts of time and thinking about how good you are even if you are actually completely shit at wheelies.
Des einzige was ich kann sind wheelis😂😂
Ehre😂
From the beginning of the video you say it doesn’t matter what you call it and list 3 examples. Manuals and Wheelies are different though. The difference is that wheelies rely on pedaling to keep the front tire in the air, and manuals rely on learning over the back tire to keep the front wheel in the air. Manuals can’t go for as long due to slowing down over time, but wheelies can theoretically go forever. Manuals are mainly for BMX, and wheelies are mainly for MTB, but either works on either bike. Just wanted to point that out for anyone interested.
"Many Trials, Many Styles, this is Ryan Leech."
im also on my life long journey learning wheelie, this video gave me tears when I see matt finally wheelie!
If anyone here can't wheelie, I was in the same spot as you a few months ago. I learnt by simply going out every night for about 20 minutes on road/driveway and played with gear ratios and went up small hills until I could do it on flat. Didn't watch any videos or anything just practised. Keep practising a lot though but you dont need to do it for a long time.
I’ve been at the “don’t entirely suck” stages for about 15 years now, I need that feeling.
This man has drills for days -Matt -also my whole team to my coach

For all my people who can do consistent long wheelies, what was the hardest part to learn? For me it was brake control
Tac0 yeah balance point was killing me
Thanks! It took me a day to do 10m wheelie, and now a month and a half later i can do 200m+ wheelies!
Kind of spooky the fact that at age 32 I started goofing around on my bike trying to do wheelies for the first time in my life couple of days ago and without ever having types the word 'wheelie' into google or TH-cam, I get recommended this video.

Took me a good year to learn them. Worth it.
Same here. Months of practice and then it just clicked. Now I can wheelie forever
@@cf6174 It was driving me insane at times :D
A friend of mine only took 6 weeks to make it. I thought i was stupid ^^
Those Citibikes are a tough wheelie, nice work, Ryan!
Thanks for your honesty in the video and hilarious with the behind the scenes of I Only Ride Park. When you said you couldn’t, I instantly thought of that hilarious clip and thought BS for a hot second till you learned us good.
Wheelies are like learning to ride a bike all over again, at some point something clicked in my brain and I learnt to balance. Now I can do them almost indefinitely and around corners and stuff.
As well as this loosen your front wheel because some how have ing it spinning helps balance
