How not to do a wheelie.

When the front tires are in the air turning the wheel isn't going to help.

This brings back memories. I was 19 yrs old. Had a 250 Suzuki street bike. Co-worker coerced me into doing a wheelie during our break. Having never done a wheelie before I commenced to attempt one in the parking lot where I lost control of it and it took off from me, running straight up on one wheel with me running behind it trying to catch up to it when it slammed into a the same co-worker's brand new 280Z! THAT was a costly lesson for me!

Probably a good thing I can't get a wheelie out of mine. Yet.

"Pop a wheelie" is a phrase that no one over the age of 16 needs to utter.

The wheel has to be straight when the tires touch down.....epic fail.

 

[TheLoneRaider]

That is a expensive fail.

Damn shame what he did to that car. Why in the world would he turn the wheel like that?

 

[Hammer]

That will buff out.

lil duct tape, big bowl of uncoiled rice...it'll be fine

He didn't turn the wheel while the front end was in the air. The steering broke when the front end dropped.

Did you watch the video? He turns the wheels when he launches the car. You can see it from the in car view.

Silly cager.

Wheelies are for motorcycles.
