So similar but different ..

 

Is pulling a wheelie clipped in a real wheelie ?

 

And what is a real wheelie ? More than two crank turns ? - at least 10 meters ?

I prefer pronk. (Not that my opinion means anything but still)

yip, sticking with it...but practise the bunny hop, definitely more handy on the trail than a pronk....also being able to do a propper bunny hop will unlock other skills like a manual so its 2 for the price of one...

Too true, that's probably why I can't do half the stuff others can, I've made it so far without and do pretty well I think.

 

Some people have lots of time on their hands, bwahahaha.

 

I can climb pavements at least :blush:

 

And you pulled off the most amazing faceplant! Your technique is far, far superior to anything I have ever seen! :thumbup:

makes no difference because you don't need your pedals to get the front up :blink:

 

I would say if you can control it, doesn't matter how long but not just a pull up and drop it.

 

I have a home made high jump bar, when are the hubbers having a hop-off?

do you call it a pronkertjie, if your seat hits you in the australian area while practising to pronk?

mmmmm good question? if your seat hits your jewels, you are pronking wrong...don't slouch when pronking, stand proud

Bwahahahaha, forgotten about that. Man, the headache I had that day...In my defence that was like my first mtb ride ever. At least the sand was soft, could have ended up a lot worse :blush:

sorry, i forget, the guys with the big cojones all have dropper posts, thus they will never have pronkertjies...my technique and cojones clearly lacking...

Exactly, having a dropper does make bunny hopping easier with that annoying saddle out the way, but I also see potential for the dropper to take pronking to new heights too :D

There we go, he explains both techniques very well...even though he is missing some tooofs

 

Haha, have you seen how many extremely skilled mountain bike riders lack some dental "finesse"?

 

Nico Vink is a good example as well:
