Wheelie frustrating.

Something funny is going on. Had a great run on the sportsbike - got to the finish line wheel held proudly in the air and then it just stopped me right there and gave me this scorecard:

If it hadn't stopped me it would have been able to keep going for quite a while.

The crucial point in getting a good score is the angle once you get to a high enough speed that you can just hold down the throttle. If the angle is too low the front wheel will come down when you hit the undulations in the track.

The trick is to get there as slow as poss so you need to be on the balance point and even beyond so you can let engine braking slow your progress at the beginning and the fast section you can throttle off while going down the slight slopes.

I got to the finish and it just stopped at 1137. How on earth do you get 1800???

Besides, does anyone see the irony in an insurance company teaching you how to wheelie?

How many times did you crash before you got your 1137?
