Supposedly there are alot of those out there, but don't throw AkR6 and I in the mix. I see no reason to try to discredit anybody.
Exactly! I never said I was a superstar at wheelies Yet, but I just found the standups more comfortable for me, you guys might think that's weird, but I just feel I have more control that way, I don't know if it's cuz I'm a bigger guy or what but I just feel I can control it better, And let's face it what kind of Fuck mook posts up something about doing a wheelie and Lie about it. I'm not in High school, and I am the one that originally made this thread cuz I'm new and wanted some advice from more experienced riders. I have nothing to prove. Lying is for pussies.

So far so good I didn't start trying the standups till close to the end of the season, so they didn't take too much punishment.

Hahaha I was wondering if any one would catch that, I actually took that pic. in the beginning of the season, my tires are pretty new in that pic. I didn't have any fresh pics. My tires are worn out now so I need new ones for spring. Keep in mind this was my first season of riding, so my lean angles slightly progressed over time, I'm no pro yet.

I found myself having most controll and most comfortable doing 2nd or 3rd cluchless standing wheelies.I felt it was easier over the sitting whieelies as you can balance the bike with your body .That was in the days when I was street rideing

Fair enough, didn't know if you were joking or just being a prick. No worries.
