Try not not land on your front so hard. Also maybe come into them with a little more speed, it looks like your barely rolling when you pop it up...I'm no good at wheelies either but usually I'm going 20ish in first gear, clutch in, rev, drop the clutch and roll off the throttle "slowly" to bring it back down softer.

yeah bro.. no gear at all.. bad new unless your a badass in the lot. and then i dont know any good lot stunters that dont wear any gear. first gear from a standstill are not good for learning.. start learning while moving faster learn your throttle response. dont try to get it so high at first. bring it up a little and roll into the throttle. and for god sake put some gear on yourself and your bike. there are really good cages out there. if your running stock gearing, try a simple -1 +2 set up,, it will come up alot easier with less throttle. This just coming from a guy with experience.

I won't pull out my flame thrower... you've been flamed enough for not at least wearing a helmet.

He's doing good to get it up at "barely rolling" how you think stunters get up to do wheelie donuts cause if they popped at 20ish and try doing donut by time they got to balance point there guna be doing 40+

stunters dont learn that way. sorry to pop a bubble. we learn with a lil speed. and then we learn to slow them down. then comes the getting it up quicker, after the habit of using the hand brake, or foot break, you dont stunt in the lot with just throttle.

Thumbs down

I couldn't care less if you have gear on or not. It's your skin do what you want with it. What I do care about is your stunting in a neighborhood! Seriously WTF?!?!? Obviously you didn't place high on any IQ test. If you're a noob as obviously as you are go out in BFE and practice or go practice in a hospitals parking lot if you must do it around spectators.

I am all for stunting and doing some stupid things. But I always make sure I'm in an area where if something goes wrong while I'm doing it, I'm the only one who is going to pay the price.

A friging neighborhood..... seriously?!?!?!?

well done on wheelies and keep practising
they look a bit choppy but so did a few of mine when i started or went to high
read what others say to about ?? but up to you, take care and keep the vids comming

thug i think we have started one hahahahaha (but needs a new title/post)

doing standing burnouts is easy just remember if the front wheel/tyre starts to move come off the revs and stop the burnout untill you sure you in control.
put the front pegs behind your "boots/calfs" also helps you hold it back
rolling ones are harder, the bike will start to turn you also need control of the pressure on the front brake and again make sure the tyre doesnt skid (although thats another stunt trick i have seen "front wheel skid")

happy days
