Jake. Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's easy just practice. Or are you on about pedal kicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 If you're new to trials then chances are it'l be hard cause you don't have the frame/seat to help you keep your bodyweight centred. You'll get the hang of it anyway, practice makes perfecto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Not really designed to wheelie, so much easier to wheelie a bike with a seat; once the front wheel is up you can sit down and it puts your weight closer to the rear axle.

Greetings Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I find it's very much a matter of keeping your legs bent all the time. You want to be fairly low and keep your arse at a steady height. This will help maintain balance sideways and stop the bike from snaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlingpowers Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Try steering with knees out and in (therefore bent legs) and/or steering with the handlebars and pulling/pushing on the bar ends with your arms to tilt the bike towards the direction you want to go, i.e. the side you are currently falling towards. Wheelieing took me a good many months to learn, perhaps even two years, I don't remember. But it was the Nineties, nowadays people learn to sidehop over a meter in the first year.
