The best way to practice wheelies is to start really small. Roll along at walking pace, about 1st gear, sitting to the back of the bike, and giving it a few revs, drop the clutch. The more revs you have and the quicker you drop the clutch, with the more you lean back, the quicker the front end will rise. Make sure that your left foot is ready to change gears, and your right foot is ready to break. Hold 1, 2, or 3 depending what suits you on the clutch ready at all times. When the front leaves the ground, practice pulling in the clutch in and bringing the front back down by squeezing the back breaks. Work up your height, bringing it down with your breaks. practice this till you can subconciosly hit the breaks when your about to flip the bike. Now you can start to work through the gears. Just as you lose the meaty pwer, or in it, change up a gear. Remembering to keep foot on break at all times. To practice really slow controlled wheelies, you want to keep the bike closet to its balance point as possible. Squeeze the back brake to bring the front down again or put light pressure to stop the front rising. One skill to practice is attempting to flip the bike, but not. When you get over the balance point punch on the brakes. Bit hard to bring yourself to do, but great to increase your skills. happy wheeli'ng
