    well he pulled a second gear standup away from him (im not familiar with mfsc terminology, but it this a wheelstand im guessing) so now he has something new to try, clearly wheelieing is the obvious next step from gear selection

    I struggle here somewhat!! On one hand you spout on about how you would be and want to be a great mentor on the other hand you take some noobs bike do skids on it and wheelie off away from him.

    Mentor material - me thinks not

    Life would be so much easier if you addressed questions with a simple answer.

    I never asked for money, but the option was there.

    Yeah, so now hes gonna go and try to do a wheelie when he hasnt got the knowledge or skills, and might end up hurting himself. You need a sign on your back with "Kids, dont try this at home" or words to that effect.
