  • nice attitude !!

  • Downshift83 you are a legend. Its amazing to see a guy start at nothing and in quite a short space of time be doing wheelies that put most bikers to shame. Just waiting till the winter passes then finding a nice stretch of straight road to get practicing. Cheers mate.

  • Damn i can wheelie all day long to about 110 mph sitting down but for some reason it feels to awkward to stand up

  • @JesseJames20051987 same here dude. I'm 6'6, so when I stand up, it feels straaaange

  • god finally a ninja wheelie i couldnt find a good one

  • Cool shit man das wassup

  • thats my nigga good shit downshift

  • whats the song in the video??

  • Whats easier to do wheely, stand up or normal sitting position?

  • @jouryrcdf

    For me its easier to sit down, i feel more in control and not like im going to bail off, for most of my friends they say its easier to stand up, i think alot depends on how tall you are and where your controls are positioned.

  • hey downshift83 nice vids btw, i was wondering, do you lower you pressure in your rear tire to do those wheelie?

  • @Mistertaford69 it is more stable but i dented my tank with my knees on my 02 r1 when i first started doin highway wheelies

  • Love ur vidz. Anyway I have a 04 zx10r fully stock. And when I saw ur liter bike wheelies I can't figure how u pull clutch ups in third!!?? And at such low speeds??? Please teach!

  • cuz you must be huge the bike look tiny with you on it and i know thats a good sized biike

  • Dude ur awesome now I'm watching all ur how to do wheelies vids..and nice helmet

  • Hey man, great vids. I'm gonna go take my cbr929rr out and goof around. Mine has a little bit more and I can throttle up to a wheelie but a run out of rpm's way to quick. gonna go fuck around in second.

  • you're popping it in 3rd gear?

    what kind of sprocket are you using?

    is it 520? looks like 520

  • @shineeusa its prolly stock... look at the guy he prolly weight 250 lbs thats y he can get it up in 3rd... but the average person if u wana get the front end off the ground in 3rd get a 1000.

  • What is your weight and height? also do you have stock gearing (OEM sprockets?) I also thought you didn't stand up while you wheelied... how did you progress to a stand? stand mid-wheelie and just grew some balls and tried it standing? I have the same bike as you and im at your skill level in video #1 but its so damn cold out I cannot ride yet :( thanks!

  • awesome to see your progress! keep up the good work my man.

  • ma muori idiota

  • Had a 03' R6 for years and sold it. Just bought a 10' R1. Looking forward to getting a feel for the bike and joining the wheelie world. Never been much for popping it up in the past. Videos are fantastic. Don't change a thing no matter what vet's post on here. Good stuff. Really hands on and easy to understand......and you say what we all are thinking ........ no matter who wants to admit that or not. Thanks again. Wolvrne

  • this music makes me want to kill myself, it's so god damn annoying

  • your helmet look awesome =D

  • tips on tyre pressures pls downshift ?

  • cool helmet man n nice stand ups ..

  • cool helmet man n nice stand ups ..

  • sick dude but if u want to power up the wheelies u should be able to in 1st gear and 2nd i know this because i can do it like nothing but i am only 135lb idk about u.

    but the way i do it if u want to know is i find my power band and then get off it just a little and then tap the gas and let go and then just give it all it has and the bike just comes up like nothing for me and that is 1st gear and 2nd.

    so if u want u can give that a shot

  • yo u sick bru!

  • wow man youve come a long way since our first wheel tips video! congrats buds

  • Respond to this video... where did u get the helmet awesome

  • Are you running stock gears?

  • sick helmat

  • I know its my own fear because I ride with a friend with the exact same bike with the same mods and he 2nd gear clutches all the time and I cant get it more than 6" off the ground in 2nd, but first I can almost hit the BP but the fear is there also. Anyway more practice. You are a good teacher Downshift.

  • ur lid is minted m8

  • bro that is sweet :)

  • u got a nice bike what kind of ninja is it?

  • what kinda bike do u have thats sick

    

  • sick i heard wheeling can mees up your chain. is that a ninja?

  • heyy dude i've learnt a lot from watching these vids but would you also recomend maybe learning to wheelie on a bicycle first? cos my biggest problem isnt exactly getting the nose up but loosing my balance to one side, and i'd be pretty sad if i scrached my bike down the side hahaha

  • Hey dude i just started riding this year and i can pop and hold in first and practicing on my 2nd gear anyway i learned that the reason for loosing balance like that is because your not relaxed try to relax if your tence most likley you wont keep it straight it helped me hope that helps you too later

  • @mikejusza thanks yeah ive been told that its not good to be tence while riding anyway. also i got told that focusing on a still object far away helps alot while doing a wheelie. :)

  • damn, you've come a long way! keep it up :)

  • whats up bud! hey when you wheelie do you have your foot over the rear brake just in case? i've been practicing mine for the past days and i can finally get it up pretty high but yesterday it felt like i went too high. bike just shot up after a certain point. how should i react to that to prevent looping out?

  • how much do you use the rear brake?? Is it a just in case or do you feather it the whole time your up??

  • im gonna start trying clutch wheelies on my k9 gsxr 600, any tips?

  • fuck u wouldnt want to drop that beast

  • seen most of ur vids,, good job good progress

  • what is this ninja? model? very good video!! eso es una moto la puta madree!!!

  • what is this ninja? model? very good video!! eso es una moto la puta madree!!!

  • Great editing, good video, Great music

  • zhis is a nice helmed

  • i like your helmet and jacket, looks very nice!

  • is standing up easyer then siting down

  • @misterstafford69 technically...yes

  • technically no. mister stafford, depending on your bike and your body. will determine how comfortable you are with sitting down or standing up. the average person i know 6' tall or so including myself have the same problem. the bike tends to wobble due to u beeing another 2 feet higher than the bike is. and riding a wheelie with your knees bent is not comfortable. and plus 9 times out of 10 when you go into a speed wobble its because too much of you weight is on the wheel bars. do whats best 4u

  • nice video man. pretty sick wheelies. where the fuck do u live, that there is a 2 lane highway with fuckin those side rails. lol what state is that?

  • nice Helmet :))) SPARTA !

  • I just bought a 2008 ZX-6R and love it! Awesome video Bro! Keep em coming!

  • sick

  • lol you cought me lookin at ur ass hahaha ur pants looked fucked up an i was like wtf haha good one.

  • sick bro! love the vids. got the sit down wheelies down but im about to try the stand up. thanks for all the tips.

  • jitsslo use 1 finger to pop clutch and you will have much better grip

  • nice progress man! ure videos are very helpful. gonna try them out! thanx.

    my only problem is the initial jilt on my left clutch hand after the clutch pop, kinda knocks me off my grip on the handle bars?? anyone have a problem with that?

  • nice job :) good progress

  • nice job :) good progres

  • Nice street

  • nicely done! i have a question, what causes some people to fall after landing a wheelie? you know like when the front wheel starts going crazy shaking left and right. tnx.

  • @bass1134  that's what u call a tank slapper, sometimes happens when not landing the front wheel strait, or in some cases not having a stabilizer bar, that helps a lot

  • Nice and funny! Good job ;-)

  • Lovin the helmet 5*****

  • Looks like falling while practicing is a good way to add character to your jeans! Ahahah well done on the video

  • junior senior - move your feet

  • It's sweet to see your progression with wheelies. I still don't clutch up my 600RR, but I can power it up in 1st, and click into second mid wheelie, then ride it out, bring it up at 30mph, comes down at about 90mph. Doesn't quite go back to the balance point this way, but I don't have the balls to stand on the back peg lol

  • Nice wheely! I just started hanging 3rd on my 636. Check it out.

  • Thanks to this guy i am doing wheelie on my GXR 600 --- 2006

    but still on the first gear

    i am gonna try 2nd gear and the stand up wheelie

  • thats a boss helmet

  • @ downshift83 i think that you like rock. lol.

  • WOW! where can i get that mohawk????????

  • Is that a custom helmet or? Where can I find one? It's so sick dude.

  • lol awesome helmet dude

  • how long have you been riding for cuz your awsome

  • thanx mate youv helped me out alot i refer to your vids alot its still early days for me tho i ride the 2009 zx-10r

  • Great vids! Seen em all and they helped me! Still long ways to go but today the first wheelie, a whole 30 cm high, was made....hhahahaa lol. Well i guess we all learned this way.

  • ok, I emailed dJ and the first song in this video is called "Eurogenic "

    The other (2nd song) is:"Matt Harder - The Basics (DJ Cipster's 'Spontaneous Combustion' Mix).

    Good luck finding it! I couldn't!

    I too love the music

  • Comment removed

  • good technique bro... looking real good out there.. keep the rubber side down

  • Hey man, you in 2nd gear when doing stand ups? No clutchin envolved? Just depress forks and give it gas on the way back up? I can do sit down wheels but I cant shift while sitting down. I havent tried Stand ups yet, a little scared. Any pointers?

  • 3rd gear with a lil bounce and clutch=)

  • @downshift83

    LOL

  • your popping the clutch in third? is that a zx10 or a six?

  • yep 3rd

    and it's a 6

    it's also geared -1+2

  • @downshift83 Thats important to know because for all of us with stock gearing we could either have trouble getting it up at those rpm's or bust our ass looping the bike. Either way with the -1+2 gearing you have your bike pretty much has the same torque down low as a 750 which I have "'05 gixxer". I can power wheelie in first but I dont hold it because of fear of looping it and second doesnt come up that high because Im not revving enough.

  • @neonmike1000 Thanks for that tip!!!! my bike is stock, and is very hard to get it up!, takes up to 9k rpm, and I'm pretty scary to loop the bike, Thanks for your Videos, they are FUC#$% AWESOME!!!! Already doing clutch wheelies in first they feel better.

  • Kiek Uhm Goaaan!!

  • same as everyone else here. thx for the vids.. they helped alot. im looking at getting a 'wheelieteach' to help get some confidence in stead of backing off early

  • Love the videos!!! I've learned from watching them. Thanks. Can you post a how to vid for rolling burn outs and circle burnouts? Also slow wheelies and circles would be great.

  • maybe later down the road=)

  • @Dak624 have you figure out how to do a rolling burnout yet?

  • Good Vids man i am trying to learn my wheelies & your vids have helped Thanx..

  • wheelies starting to look good man, watched a few of your other videos, i can see youve came a long way. i miss putting my foot on the rear peg, my new R1 has the dual exhaust so i cant really do it anymore

  • hey downshift i have an 07 r6 been trying to do stand ups in second but can only get it up like 1 sec then comes back down.. any tips?

  • how good are your sit-downs?

  • Tips helped alot! Just got my shield for my helmet im tired of eating bugs.haha my next day off work im gonna get this shit down PAT! thanks for the help man.

  • i love the intro. great song. Whats the name of the song?

  • is it a 636 or a zx10? im tryin to do em in 1st to start off with on my 2008 r6 i just put a 520 sprocket on it...wud u recommend clutchin or power wheelies for 1st n 2nd? i do sit downs all day but when tryin to stand up n do em something doesnt feel right...ne tips on positiioning n pullin up?

  • its not 636..!

  • its a zx6r, don't clutch in 1st =/

  • ZX6R

  • yeah buddy rep that ninja all day. gotta a ? do u have a dampner on that?

  • nope=)

  • the only thing im scared of is goin into a tank slapper because i dont have a dampner. has it ever happened to you

  • ive been whatching your videos , and some frome 1 year ago you were doing wheelies maybe 30ft long and now some could just wish to be like you ! nice progress man !

  • Thx DS, I did but there are a few mixes. None seem like the same song you got here. But I was only listening to a short clip of them. So it is really hard to tell.

  • As usual, I love your wheelie vids. But I just love this techno song on this video. Where can I download the full song? Who is it and what's the name of the song. It rocks!!

  • get with DJcipster4breaks here on youtube

    -he's the artist

  • whats your front and rear tire pressure when u do your wheeliies???

  • All of those wheelies were in 3rd gear? I know you made a comment about 3rd gear wheelies in your other vids, did you have to bounce or just all clutch?

  • little bounce=)

  • wutz up man I have the same bike an I wanna learn how weelie to ..thats great
