What do you think about wheelies?

[Custom200]

I'm just wondering what you guys think. some people say "your stupid for doin that" or its dangerous but people like me totally disagree and love them. what do you guys think on them?

I think they're awesome. I do them all the time on everything I own, I can't hold them for crap on anything fast though. I can power-wheelie my YZ80 through about 4 gears or so when I get on the gas. There's lots of people who can hold sick-ass long wheelies forever, but I don't have the balance for that.

Simply another fun thing to do on a trike, nothing wrong with them what so ever, matter of fact you should learn to wheelie for clearing rocks, logs, deep rivers.....stuff like that along the trail.

I prefer by far the one foot on peg, one on grab bar method, they are the most fun to me.

I love 6th gear wheelies down the beach here. The only drawback is you can only hold them for so long because the slant of the beach eventually forces you into the water.

P.S. This is on a 350X

Wheelies ROCK!

Can't take a ride on a trike without doing a wheelie!!!!!!!!!!

WHEELIES ARE THE BEST!!! I couldnt do them for the longest time... Now I am addicted... It took me awhile to realize that some machines are so much easier to do them on... RedRider and Rid3R... A yz80 and a T3 dont exactly have the greatest powerbands for controllable wheelies... keep trying you'll get it...

Yeah I know! You're either about to go over backwards or you're not wheelying. I've actually ghost-ridden the bike on a few occasions, where it gets too high and I just bail off the back of it! Funny watching your bike continue to wheelie down the beach and then go back onto two wheels... :lol:

If it has wheels and an engine I'm going to wheelie it, heck I'll even wheelie it with out an engine!

iv bin riding since the early 80s and i still love wheelies, i can hold one till i run out of space....lol

[seddon]

LOVE THEM. when me and my buddy get on any thing the first thing we do is one

My favorite wheelie machines are ones with no rear suspension because you don't have much chain lurch at all being that you can run them pretty tight.

185 and 200 I enjoyed most, just a great balance to them, liked them more then my SX I have now, for that purpose that is.

I like popping wheelies but I can't hold them for crap. It's either pop the front end up for a bit and come back down or I go over backwards. :lol:

Even though they are the original stunt, they always get you respect. Man I love doin wheelies! My 86 200X is by far the easiest machine I've done them on. Besides, it's second nature for a three wheeler.

How i spend most of my time while riding!

[The Goat]

got my first atc 70 when i was 5, the first thing i did was turn it over backwards. lol.

later i had a yamaha badger, it would only do wheelies in first.

my next bike a yamaha beartracker had zero torque, but i could always pop it up in third if i really threw my weight onto that backrack. used to ride through the water on that thing full wheelie with just the handle bars on up sticking out.

as for this new 200x i have, i'll have to get a whole lot more confident on it before i start playing.
