is the video flipped? or are you really riding wheelies without covering the rear brake?

[xrstunt]

@adam88865 No, the video isn't flipped. Luckily I never crashed doing them this way and I did them this way for years.

@xrstunt I've been doing searches for wheelie tutorial videos (MTB and dirtbike), especially slow controlled wheelies. I can only hope to be able to do what you are doing here :) Do you remember if you were on the balance point? or holding a power wheelie in this video?

Also, I've been looking at Dual Sport bikes lately and think that my next bike will be one. I've looked at the honda's 230 and 650, but the the one that best matches what I want is the WR250R. Got a better idea?

@adam88865 Stick with it and you'll get it. I practiced a lot in the dirt. I think they're a little of both, sometimes at the balance point, sometimes power. I haven't been into bikes in a while, so I can't even begin to give a recommendation about new bikes. This video was shot about 9 or 10 years ago. Good luck.

@adam88865 alot of ppl on dirtbikes/enduros/supermotos wheelie this way. the balance point on a dirtbike is pretty far from 12 o clock. esp when you standing so far back on the bike. it lowers the BP position. so theres not a lot of danger of flipping over because your front wheel is so far down anyways

I rejetted it last weekend after getting my license. I can't keep the front wheel down in first O_O

the fact that this video is to Stinkfist, makes me want to buy this bike so much more

depends on what your used to i had a crf250x and it had more low end power thats what i go for since i ride motorcross drz it is not that much power in my opinion 2nd gear can pull wheelies but thats about it if you want the best enduro bike out there i recomend the crf450x or the ktm exc450/530 depending on your skill. drz is very reliable only things i recomend back up kick start, bigger gas tank, better lights, new tires the stock suck front allways slip. get those and be great enduro

Just bought one today. Chose it over a BMW G450X because of maintenance issues, and over a KTM 530 EXC/TE 630 because of dealer locations for service.

Looking forward to riding it next weekend when it has shipped.
