Have any of you done that side to side rear end slide as shown in this vid? I did and it scared the shit outta me...wasnt expecting to loose traction so fast. But most of my wheelies are accidental. I did manage to pull a 2nd thru 4th goin up a slight hill before...cant seem to repeat it.

Yeah, that's not gonna buff out.

I can't wheelie my 500 for shit, I don't have the throttle control yet. My 70 is ridiculously easy though, just requires a little technique to get it up in the first place.

I can do the same thing. I always answer the same way:

I'm a lousy rider but I can I can do a wheelie all day. When the weather breaks, I'll get some video. Wheelies are the only thing I can do well on a bike.

When I was 15 on vacation in California, I won a wheelie contest...on a rented bicycle.

Doug Domokos was my hero.

Here are five pics of four different bikes. The second pic is of the first ride, on a borrowed CR500 near Phoenix Az (photo by ST500.)
