Please
note - you should always wear correct safety
gear when performing wheel stands. We take no
responsibility whatsoever for you and your machine.
We have no idea of your capabilities. This can
be dangerous and should only be performed in
a safe area. This can also be illegal. Do not
break the law.
Step 1. Get to know your bike well. Once you
have mastered the basics of riding it and are
confident in your abilities it is time to push
the envelope a bit.
Make
sure you know how to use your back brake extremely
well. This is the difference between success
and disaster.
You
need to be able to put the back brake on when
your front wheel is up so that you can bring
the front wheel back down if required.
So
practice skidding your real wheel and sliding
out and becoming comfortable with using your
back brake. This is a MUST.
Once
you have mastered this - then you can start
trying to perform a wheel stand.
Sit
to the rear of your bike as far as you can.
You can do this at a really slow pace to start
with.
Just
pop the throttle and the front wheel should
pop up a little bit. You can get the fell of
the power by the amount you pop the throttle
on and off.
As
you get use to it - then give it a bit more.
Get the front wheel half way up - and then hit
the back brake. This will get you confident
in using the back brake to bring the front down
should you go too far.
Once
you have mastered this - do it many times so
you are confident - then you can progress to
lifting the front wheel even higher.
Eventually
you should be able to ride along with the front
wheel in the air and use the back brake to control
its height.
Remember
- practice makes perfect. If you go over the
back - it will hurt - so make sure you are ready
for this and be prepared to take the fall. Also
- your bike could be damaged doing this.
