Old video. Is old.

I don't condone this on the streets, but I know how much skill it really takes to balance a bike while using the handbrake, and modulating the clutch so as to keep it from flipping.

Imagine having 2 levers on the clutch side, one levels the power off from the engine by disengaging the engine's power, the other applies the rear brake, keeping you from flipping backwards. All this while maintaining your balance.

It is truly harder than it looks.

Why can't ya just use a brake lever to do it? Is it because the brakes heat up and get too tight?

[Reckless01]

I'm not 100% sure I get that question Scott.

Because applying pressure to the brake lever would decrease the speed of the front wheel. Well, the front wheel is in the air and most likely isn't spinning plus slowing the front wheel isn't going to do much for you since it's not in contact with the ground!!

I have no porblem with the wheelie, I have the problem is that he ran from the cops... he broke the law, a law he obviously disagrees with... You do the crime... be prepared to pay for it.

5-0 is just doing his job.

Treating all police with disrespect just because you dont like cops is to me as stupid as racism. How about instead of earning respect individually you people make an attempt at seeing the good they do for the world and maybe start them off with respect and let each individual one earn the disrespect.

Half full, try it... it will change you.

Good stuff Voo!

Hey doofus, technically, Dallas is NORTH of us here in Tampa, just not the "north" that I thought was shown in this video!

Not just technically, but LITERALLY; yes one would also need to travel a bit west as well, but Dallas is north of not only here,
but is north of the entire state of FL.








Mo, did you know that according to longitude and latatude lines, Alaska is the most northern state,


and the most western,


AND the most eastern state of ALL 50 states!

Yep, it's 100% true!

If you stab the rear brake, the bike will fall forward off the wheelie. If you give too much power, the bike will come over backwards. At highway speeds, why modulate the clutch when you can just modulate the rear brake while applying constant power?

I never rode a stunter with a rear brake lever...my wheelies always involved the clutch and throttle.

I would feather the clutch a bit to take the engine's pull away when it was a bit much. Although at highway speeds he'd be using the handbrake more than the clutch, but it'd still be used.

You are partially on track with the brake modulation, but remember the brakes would heat up, and fade if you rode them too much. This is why you have to use alternate methods to relieve power / speed other than just the brake.

To ride a wheelie that high with out using the throttle all the time to keep it up you have to ride right at or slightly behind the flipping point of the BP.

It's actually a little harder to explain that I realized, but I do know (having done this sort of thing at least one time) you have to be able to catch the clutch, while working the rear brake with the same 5 fingers on your left hand when you're off pegs (any trick where you're not on the pegs).

Still, all in all stunting it's not as easy as it looks LOL!

[Gulfripper]

Sick and smooth makes me miss my bike like hell.

[Scottly]

Ok, Reck...I get it.

Never had it explained to me.

I won't flame away. But when a cop harrasses a biker, we wonder and say things like:



Nothing cool about this kid's "skills". He's a fucking idiot and he's bad for us all.

An idiot would have flipped and crashed, Rossi was known for doing things like this and his dad too before him. . . but we call him the GOAT. And what you did there, it still would be flaming pink flamingos, it doesn't change just cause you say you won't flame on beforehand.

Yeah, I can wheelie.... for about 2 seconds. That guy had skills, as well as anyone else that can walk a wheelie. The new law passed only about a year or two after I started riding, so I decided it wasn't worth the effort to learn something with such a harsh penalty.
The gov't takes the fun out of everything these days. Our parents got away with so much. Nowadays more than ever, it seems that owning a fast car or bike just seems like more of a money pit than fun on the weekends.

That's a good one!

Why is he an idiot? He is doing the speed limit. He is maintaining his lane. He is in control of his vehicle. What was he doing wrong?
