I got loads more footage. Been wheelieing all day so too fooked to do anymore now. lol

Laters.

lol nice rolling burnout and jumping off was a nice touch

[geodude]

Yeah he is pretty good. He was flying towards me at quite a pace and then doing turning stoppies and dropping the back wheel a few feet in front of me. Awesome!! At first I was shitting meself. After awhile I got used to it.



I took loads of pics of Adam and Neil. My bro tools loads of me.

Went to school again yesterday to help out

Neil kindly gave me a go on the bike.

I convinced myself that the switch on the back was limiting my ability to pull longer wheelies. Bullshit!! It only limits ones ability to perform high wheelies. Yesterday, I was travelling quite far on the back wheel. Loved it. I was managing to launch the bike to the point just before the switch kicked in. I then feathered the throttle to keep it there. Awesome. I can't wait to get my second bike now so I can freely piss about on the storm (on the airfield of course)

George,
I love the fact that you have gone so often they now think you work there..........cool job though!

[geodude]

Its a right laugh!! You get to wheelie all day long. What more could you want?

I reckon it would be a great weekend away.

Ride down Friday. Camp/B&B and Friday night. On Saturday wheelie school then back to camp/B&B and . Ride out / ride home Sunday.

Would anyone be up for it next year? I'm sure I could get a discount If a full group comes along (max of 6)

Note: Not suitable for those who can already travel along on the back wheel while changing gear, stand up or do high chair or 12 o'clock wheelies.

Remember, I have see the vid of your 12 o'clock riderless wheelie.. .........is that what you have to do to get the job there?

Sounds like a good enough reason to build a week end round, I would consider it as long as dates work

erm well I did ask for my money back!! lol The instructor called my the same evening it happened asking "wtf?" lol

I have been helping him out with some geeky stuff

If we can get a group together, it'll be a right laff. Some nice roads in Dorset (Jurassic Coast) too.

I've never had the cajones/skill / both to do this so if at a good time and not too expensive i would be up for it. Be like an exorcism. At the least i guess the ale down that way is worth the ride for

[benny hedges]

i wouldnt mind going.... i still have problem landing wheelies proper, painlessly for me & the bike.
also coming down off jumps which is the same thing really, sort of like a wheelie but both wheels are off the ground

I'd be great if you could get down and go mate. It helps big time.

Check out 4:30 in the next vid I post Nothing big but still fun!!

Shameless bump for the new guys (Especially those in Hampshire) That's three NFGs from Hampshire at least. I must be putting out VTR vibes on my rides around Hampshire

If you all start buying BMW's then I'll know its my fault

If you want to go to wheelie school next year, PM me

Welcome to the next installment of geo@wheelieschool. Still fooking shite!!

Loved doing it on my own bike though which has a switch fitted.

What did I learn today? Using the back brake to bring the bike down on purpose. But even better. slow launches. I love slow launching it but it can go terribly wrong very quickly. I may not have been so confident if there was no switch.

Another great day at school.
