OOPS, over she went

Have to say that while the high speed wheelies are impressive, the constant speed/low speed ones are awesome. Maybe its knowing they are difficult, but also that you see the wheelie for much longer.

Why are the low-speed ones more difficult (if indeed they are)?

Another reason (other than the ones Fizzer has offered) they're so tricky is you don't have the gyroscopic balance from the front wheel.
Just like when you get any bike up on balance point for long enough for the front wheel to stop spinning.......the bike starts to 'weave' ever so slightly from side to side. A tad unsettling at over 200 clicks on a big road bike!

True dat, I find it happens sp..sper...speradi, fuck it, with no consistancy, sometimes it'll hand there at 170 smooth a silk, other times ya have to stand up on the pegs to get enough body movement goin on to control it. Whadup with that?

Dunno mate.....I'm too lazy to do stand up wheelies!

Heres another, I always thought that stand-ups would be much easier, but apparently not?

I think they are, because you can give the bike a bounce before ya tug, get some help from the springs like. And when it's up, you've got more steering control, because you can move your wieght further.

Those little bikes don't have the strength at the front to handle too many hard landings...

You calling Drew "fat"?

Must be a first time for a Mair...

[limbimtimwim]

Just look at those liddle forks. Designed for liddle japanese people. Even a person who is difficult to see side on could break those...
