does anyone know any tips on riding a wheelie on a mountain bike? i sorta have it down...maybe i just need to practice more but i can successfully ride a wheelie for like 5 seconds then i always come back down on accident. I just wanna get to the point where i can ride 'em as long as i want and stop on purpose rather than on accident like i have been doin...

oh yeah, and i'm pissed because today i was tryin to ride a wheelie again and now after pullin up so hard to start the wheelie it feels like my nut is busted, man it sucks

that made perfect sense, its easier to wheelie if you stay seated. as far as tips for doing it longer: practice, practice, practice.

First you need good brakes- you must be able to dose the brakepower very careful, and if you notice you are falling back the brake must block immediately. for the ballance use your knees, also watch that your arms are stretched (give your right knee out, and pull on the right side of the bar to come back on this side if you loose your balance to the left side! - ok I know a little bit to technical, but a few things will def. help you... -And I dont have my saddle as high as possible, but for the beginning its not a bad thing–
