Not bad vids. I'll get around to doing one on the DR-Z at some point. I just need to slow them down a bit first.

If you can, Get yourself along to a clutch wheelie school. Unfortunately the one I used to help out at isn't running at the moment. This one is meant to be ok though http://www.learn2wheelie.co.uk/index.html

If you decide to go, let me know. I might see if I can get along too :thumbup:

I enjoyed those.

The guy starts from being pretty bad in video 1, and progresses throughout.

I would say im somewhere similar to where he is in video 2, I can clutch them up pretty high, but cant keep them on balance point for long.

Watching these has given me a bit of confidence to practice more and learn to keep them up and eventually do them with the back pegs like he does. He makes it look so easy :)

does the storm have any problems with oil starvation if you perform a stunt wheelie that's what I call them, rather than a over exuberant throttle wheelie.

Cool. I might do it again. Apparently they have a stand up wheelie course too. hmm
