Mrdavidb Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Is it easier to pop a wheelie on hard tail or duel suspension bike? I have never ridden a DS.
jimmy hardtail Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 About the same. Depends more on the geometry of the bike than whether it has a rear shock or not. Its all about finding the balance point Mrdavidb 1
Heel Drop Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 the key is to be able to get your feet out fast enough when you go past a certain point - only if you can get them out before you land solid on your ass can you wheely untill then you are only trying Ramrod, Mrdavidb and RocknRolla 3

Cav' Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 To start out i'd say HT. Â But if you want to run with the big dogs I say get a unicycle* Mrdavidb 1
Audible Anarchy Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Whichever has the shortest chain stays? Mrdavidb 1
Waynehans Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Anything with 2 wheels. Been doing it since i was 7. give me any bike and 10min later i can't keep the front wheel down. Mrdavidb and fabs 2
RocknRolla Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) the key is to be able to get your feet out fast enough when you go past a certain point - only if you can get them out before you land solid on your ass can you wheely untill then you are only trying I have first hand experience. Also, make sure your butt cheeks connect mother earth at the same time, offsetting this timing is not advised. Wheelying with flat pedals and a dropped seat to start off with is a good way to practice.

BarHugger Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I have seen guys attempting this skill with bananas and boiled potatoes in the back pockets of their shirts......needless to say when the skill goes south they all have a sudden attack of vanilla coloured diarrhoea. They also seem to shrink in stature after an event like this......
Hedz Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 hahaha the funny thing is we have all done it at one point or another.
