First wheelie photo

**larriken** · 5th January 2006, 18:42

.........ok very first or you first on a road bike. This was the first ever photo of me doing wheelies on a road bike 15 years ago. From that moment on I found the true showoff that lurked inside of me.

I would like to say that the leg thing was part of a very stylish move but more than likely I was a) about to run into something or b)run into something.

Aint it funny how your early reactions when shit goes bad is to remove feet from pegs.

I've got a couple of old shots of me doing wheelies but don't have a scanner. Probably just as well as they're pretty pathetic. Got a couple of cool ones on board my old 82 YZ250 doing one footers and standing on the seat.

Nice one R1, they are classic shots! Yep, and diffiantly much improved!

For sure WT, never did understand the foot out thing either! I am reasonably new to mountain biking and bugger me if I don't stick my foot out on that thing when things go pear shaped!

LOL te ol pushbike, i'm waiting for things to go pearshaped for me, 80+kph stand ups down Queen St with no gear on, it's gotta go wrong at some stage, still trying to crack the 3km distance, stuck at 2.7km

Hey Aaron, I like your custom user title and I'm keen. Maybe you could come for a wee ride to Pukekohe this time?

I'll bring the beers and set up the camera for this WT.

They have one every Friday and I've got more than the match for your sexy bike. I'll step back a year to a stock K2. You might see which way it went this time...........
