the wheelie is such a basic trick, why cant i do it?!!?! i am so frustrated i am ready to give up. i am learning bmx and decided to start with this. i cant get it? is it normal not to get it right away? how long should it take? any advice or w/e is appreciated. thanks!

Answer 1

It may take you some time to do it.  Certain physiological characteristics you have may make it more difficult.  Find out which foot is strongest.  You may not notice it but you probably start out pedaling with the same foot.  If your right handed it is most likely your right.  You must do three things simultaneously;  Push with your strong foot (start with the pedal just forward of the 12 o&#039;clock position), lean back (previous answerer said like you&#039;re going to p**p, good analogy), and pull up on the handlebars.  This is uncomfortable at first and you will crash trying to learn this.  Find a grassy field for practice.  Wear a helmet because you are likely to fall backwards and you DO NOT want to hit the back of your head.  You may want to wear elbow pads too.

Answer 2

It takes long to learn a trick. It took me like a year to learn how to wheelie even 1/4 of a parking lot, and 6 months to learn how to bunnyhop.

So, you lean forward, then pull BACK on your handlebars and start pedaling. Not too fast, or you&#039;ll flip your bike, but not to slow that your front tire will go down.

Answer 3

i don&#039;t consider the wheelie a bmx trick. it&#039;s the dumbest trick ever. try to manual instead.
