hey guys, I was just wondering if any of you are any good at wheelie a mountain bike. I don't know what its called in english, think its manual or something, however using ur pedals are not allowed :roll:

used to do this quite alot when i was a kid, anyways here is a clip from a few years ago think it was 65 km/h http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnI4lTrnAc0

hope to see some other wheelie vids :D

I wanna see someone manual a mx bike.
ie. Pop a wheelie down a hill, put it in neutral/pull in the clutch, and kill the engine just to prove it.

aka. coaster wheelie.
This is not me, just some dudes from Finland, and not the longest coasters but wheelie angles start to hit the limit.

In the first bail I think the rear cage hit the ground and lifted the rear wheel in to air a little bit.

I know they can do that on street bikes.So why not dirt bikes,haha.
I guess the bike keeps going because the bike it is still in gear.I know my bike will keep going the same when I'm in 1st.

Dirtbikes have a higher balance point than streetbikes do, thats why you see it being done on streetbikes a lot more than dirtbikes.
