Hi all

From the Xtra Website

What on earth??
Do you not think he knew there was a cliff there

I always thought a wheelie was where front wheel goes up back wheel stays on ground......you can't do wheelies in a car...sonds as though he was doing wheel spins which are not wheelies. Well as far as I'm concerned they're not freely accepted as wheelies.

So they're not really freely wheely wheelies really are they.

correct me if I'm wrong.

You just shouldn't play silly buggers near cliffs (.)

I'm still trying to figure out what a pic of a psyclist doing a wheelie has to do with the article? And where's the pic of the abseil rescue??
