Has anyone out there done a nose wheelie on there trike. I am guessing that the 250r would be the most likely to pull one off.

I did one the other day but i didn;t mean to, i was flying across a feild, and i was in about 8 inchs of snow then hit about 2 ft, the front end dug in and back tires came off and almost throgh me over the handle bars, it felt like i went from 70 to 0 in half a second, i can not do one though if i try

Thats was going to be my answer too. Yes, but not on purpose!

I have also done one unintentionally. I was flying down a trail on the SX and had to stop quickly for I dont remember what. The front end locked up and the front tire slid over a rock which immediatly brought the rear end up slightly. If it wernt for my legs catching on the handlebars...I would've gone over

I did a nose wheelie with my 86 200X in the gravel pit, but unfortunatly it was not intentional, and it was caused by me going off a cliff i didnt see. I rolled on the front wheel for a few feet. and then went over, i was going at least 45mph, when I went over I bent the forks smashed the mint original plastic and broke both my wrists. In a month i was back to take the hill back...and i did..but yeah nose wheelies suck..

I have tried several times on the beach with a 350x ,, not enough traction tire just slides ,,, since i don't ride asphalt i guess i never will,,,,, my wife did a awesome nose wheelie before she went over the bars!!! i wish i had video of that!!!! i laughed so hard a couldn't ride!!!

i did one once on my tecate....i was in the dunes and i was up on the tank going thru the grars i was going in about 4th gear probrably up on the tank and someone pulls out right in front of me so i slammed on both my brakes and locked up the front (i was still up on the tank) and up and up and over the whole bike tipped up and over upside down :-P kinda hurt.

I used to be able to pull one on asphalt with my buddies 225dx, but i wouldnt reccomend pulling stoppies on a trike. Lots of weight back there that can easily go off balance, not as forgiving as a bike. Yes I did dump it quite a few times before figuring out the stoppie on a trike.

I did one once on my 86 250r. I jumped a small hill on a sand dune,landed on the front wheel and rode it out for about 50-100(felt like a mile) feet at about 60mph. It was a 50/50 chance of wiping out and having the trike KILL me and I am a firm believer of when in doubt jump and away from the trike but i held on that time!!!!!!!yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I believe it's called a stoppie.

I have done it on my 225dx in a local pit going up this steep arse hill almost straight up where the quads have two tracks rutted out , somehow you get air but yet your front tire kind of rides the ground at the same time.It's hard to explain but fun as hell to do :-D

I did one with the 200 yesterday. I was racing around the house and I came out into the road, and as I usually do I would hit the snowbank and wheeli my way into the lawn. Well this time front tire first and just about went over the bars, but I threw myself off. It stopped right there, and that gave me a new meaning to the "nut cracker". :oops:

I did one on my old sx,(too fast around a corner, and there was a log there, and I locked the brakes up, only came up like a foot though). I suppose anything is possible with a little practice, the hardest part would be keeping the ass end from leaning to one side, but if you have good upper body strength, you could probably balance it.
