Confessions: I can't wheelie a bike | Skills with Phil
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
One of the biggest Skills with Phil tutorial requests is a video on how to wheelie. I have a confession, even after riding over 20 years and I still can't wheelie. Wheelies have been one of the most difficult skills for me to learn. ▶︎ SUBSCRIBE ▶︎ http://PhilKmetz.com/subscribe ▶︎ How to Jump https://youtu.be/OzsoQTSFfIk?list=PLKhb73W7eMRF1KO3T5Iz2pks-8SrLybw7 ▶︎Huffy Carnage https://youtu.be/wkMnk_eCDQU?list=PLKhb73W7eMREOqKUAP4u-qXKzvgUy0zGW ▶︎ How to Bunny Hop https://youtu.be/hdUGWeRQ2IU?list=PLKhb73W7eMRF1KO3T5Iz2pks-8SrLybw7 ▶︎ How to Drop https://youtu.be/fp7AyHTAfmQ?list=PLKhb73W7eMRF1KO3T5Iz2pks-8SrLybw7 ▶︎ 8.5 Ways to get over logs https://youtu.be/ZllYR3ovegs?list=PLKhb73W7eMREOqKUAP4u-qXKzvgUy0zGW Ride Gear ▶︎ Helmet http://amzn.to/2dNfYtl ▶︎ Knee Pads http://amzn.to/2dvc3Ul ▶︎ Shoes http://amzn.to/2dx9xML ▶︎ Fun Socks http://amzn.to/2dURuPB Camera Gear ▶︎ GoPro http://amzn.to/2dhcZZJ ▶︎ GoPro Batteries http://amzn.to/2dvddzf My Bike ▶︎ http://Philkmetz.com/bikes Skills with Phil ▶︎ Website http://Philkmetz.com/ ▶︎ Instagram http://Philkmetz.com/instagram ▶︎ Twitter http://Philkmetz.com/twitter ▶︎ Facebook http://Philkmetz.com/facebook ▶︎ Facebook Group http://Philkmetz.com/facebook ----------- Music Artist: Topher Mohr and Alex Elena Song: Say Yeah ---------- Big thanks to the companies that help me support me throughout the 2016 race season.

What about starting at a bit higher speed? Letting momentum and central figure force keep you from falling side to side I guess?
-
but can u manual?
-
14kg mtb how to wheelie?😂
-
Love the honesty.
-
A tech deck commercial just played. Those are still a thing? I was five years old last time I saw one (I'm 13)
-
weird that i have tried to wheelie so much and yesterday i tried and got it easily and now im trying to wheelie for long time. idk what happened but now wheelie is SO easy, it was before yesterday so hard to do but now so easy
-
I've found that some bikes are much easier to wheelie than others - my DH bike is a cakewalk where my 24" street trials is really tricky.

You should straighten your arms completely and sit further away on the seat. That way you get better balance. You should also learn how to use the brake so you wont loop out. After you have practiced those things you should learn how to shift gears.
-
i can teach you a whellie... ride in 4- th gear and use a brake
-
I literally have dreams about being able to do wheelies. I admit I don't practice them but it's on the list.
-
You're awesome!
-

-
I feel u boi

Have you tried an oval chainring yet? I am following the Ryan Leech wheelie class and have hit a plateau. I put an oval chainring on my hardtail yesterday and was amazed at how much smoother my pedal stroke was and I wheelied farther than ever. Keep in mind that an oval ring might change the suspension characteristics (anti squat) of a full suspension frame.

Same here
-
try leaning back morr
-
so should I learn it while pedaling or whithout pedaling
-
You Need only one finger on the rear brake and pull it just slightly
-
If your ridding a 1x10 put your bike into 5th gear

I am inverse of Phil. I cant do anything other than wheelie around. The best i could do was a 10 min wheelie while turning in figure eight around two poles which is about 15m in between of the poles. I also find it actually easie to wheelie in mid gear range when I was learning it as i was able to kinda pay more attention to my balance than my cadance. Easier to apply strength and brakes to balance. Also I find that paying attention to my hip could help me turn around easier.
