This dude is ridiculous... I did a wheelie once, I felt proud. Then I watched this video... I'm gonna go back to 2 wheels on the ground.

Wow, I dont even understand some of the mechanics of throttle/clutch while doing what he does. Very cool how these guys use a powerful machine like a part of them!

 

[dpaul007]

Wow! I do not have the balls to do anything he just did!

After watching some how to's what they do is called a throttle up/clutch up. They increae the idle to between 2k-4k so that it keeps the momentum going.

they dont actually clutch up much just leave it in 1st and hit it. dont believe me? look at that wagon wheel of a sprocket on there. and a ZX6 like most people use has 15K rpm to use in each gear so you can get going pretty quick, quick enough for a stuntpad in 1st gear. check the guy that stunts a BMW F800GS with full bags, guys nuts because he's doing it with stock gearing. The thing that most good stunters do that gets me though is the bunny hop. i just can wrap my head around doing it, i know how its done, its just crazy.

Funny.. the bunny hop is the one trick that does not impress me much. Probably because I know how to do it on a mountain bike and on a snowboard (ollie). Obviously this doesn't mean that I can do it on a motorcycle, but :don'tknow:

Wheelie on the other hand.. been trying to do it my whole life on a bicycle.. I'm useless at it

P.S. Love the GS stunt vid.

Yeah, I was watching another video earlier and the guy put a +5T sprocket on. I guess they just lose like 10-15 mph off their top speed, but really who needs to be going 150-160 anyway on the street.

I'm tempted to find an old beater dirt bike and just rip off into the desert to learn how to wheelie.

His one-wheel milage has to be higher than most Harley Davidsons on one entire year!

i can ollie a skateboard and i can even scrubwhip a bicycle, but that cand be done though manhandling, them not through throttle and brake manipulation alone.

these stunters are using sprockets in the realm of +10 dude, they take up the whole plane of the wheel.

I think it's a combination of quick throttle roll on / roll off and still loads of manhandling (looks exactly how it's done on a bicycle.. compress front, use rebound as momentum to rock back and keep pulling the handlebar up, then explode the arms forward)

Not easy by any means, but less baffling to me than most of the other moves these guys do.
