Is there a wheelie school in Texas?

Howdy, this is my first thread. I did a google search and couldn't find a wheelie school in Dallas or anywhere in Texas. Does anyone know of one?

Justin, TX, northwest of Dallas. Visit http://www.ononewheel.com/.

I saw their website unfortunately they don't have any classes scheduled for Texas Motor Speedway the entire year. The schedules on their website run all the way to Dec. 18th with no other Texas classes on there. Anyone else know of a wheelie class? :bash:

I am self taught and refuse to spend the $$$ :lol: :luck:

I would just try it out on your own but be carefull!

Keith code has a wheelie school. Not sure if he visits texas, though.

Just build yourself your own wheelie-bar and weld it on. Wear lots of protection and hold on. :lol:

Buy an old Kawasaki triple. You'll do lots of wheelies. I had friends that had the 750 and 500. No one would be a passenger twice.

i heart wheelies :dthumb: i am trien to do them better and better but i am takin it slow

This is digressing, but have you seen that guy who has a "wheelie machine" on a trailer. Basically he's got a sport bike that sits on a trailer with what looks like a rolling dyno on the back wheel. But what's neat is it allows you to do wheelies while on the trailer contraption. It has wires hoooked up to the throttle and rear brake to bring the bike down if the computer thinks you are going to loop. I saw this on TV one day but I can't remember his name. Suposedly he takes this to various motorcycle events throughout the country.

That would be awesome!!! And FUN!!!

Here ya' go...found this while browsing uponeone.com http://www.learntowheelie.com/

Explain to me how someone your size(from what I have seen in your pic) is getting the front end of a SV up as easily as you say you are?? i aint sayin it easy at all and i am not doion anything over maybe a foot off the ground ...they are just fun as hell though :lol: :dthumb:

Yeah Aggie, just get out there and practice on the street. If you go down a few times and f' up your helmet, leathers, and bike, it's no biggie. j/k :lol: There is a wheelie school down there, my buddy has been trying to get me to go. I'll find out and post back up here. :cheers:

Hello to all New be here to your site and while browsing the forums I saw this one and would like to put in my two cents worth of info on how to do a wheelie. The first thing that you should do is to be sure you are comfy with power shifting you may need to up shift in between feathering the throttle. You should work on this technique while the bike is still on the ground and make it fluent and smooth and keeping the bike in its power range throughout the shift. (Not holding it out) just feathering up to speed and shifting along the way. Next work the throttle and the rear brake alternating twist on a little and back off with a tap of the brake also do this practice while the bike is on the ground. This will help you avoid front-end slam downs in a panic. Now that you have worked on finesse you are ready to start to pull up the front end a little at a time. It will take you a while to get used to reaching the fulcrum point of the bike or balancing center. The best way to do this is to use an up hill incline. This lets you find center and your front end isn’t that far off the ground. If you bike has the power to snap it up with the twist of the gas you can start off with more control than one that will require you to pop or feather out the clutch to get it up. Either way with practice you will be doing it like a pro in time. Just do yourself and your bike a favor and get the fundamentals down first that were mentioned in the beginning of this post. Your butt will thank you later, I hope to here from many of you as I venture back into buying another bike myself. The wife and I would like to get a sport-touring bike. I am looking used in the lines of a Bandit 1200s. We won't be riding it that much but I think she will appreciate the upright riding position. Well any way Hello to all and good luck with the wheelies thay are fun to do. Earlzach,

Got a interesting thread about that here (http://www.twowheelforum.com/showthread.php?t=2385&highlight=Wheelies) :whistle:

You would think there would be more wheelie schools out there? At $500 per person for a 12 hour day, somone could make a fortune on this. Think about it, if you ran a wheelie school on just the weekend and taught a class of 5 or 6 on each day, you would make over $260,000 a year less expenses! Not too bad for a weekend job.

Ya no crap... I'm doing the wrong thing!

$500 a person? F' that.

No Shat! $500 a person!!! :cursin: Minus expenses, are you providing the bikes? Thats gonna get expensive with a bunch of idiots wrecking them. Insurance alone on something like that would be crazy. Thats if you go legitimate. Now if you do some bootleg teaching on the sides, they use their own bikes, and you find some :gary: willing to pay you $500 to learn to do wheelies, then all the power to you. $500??? :bash:

As far as I know www.ononewheel.com seems to be the biggest wheelie school but they are only in New York, California, and Florida for now. And hate to burst your bubble ACE but there are a ton of people who are willing to pay $500 for the class, myself included. Also, on their website they claim no one has looped their bike yet, not that it isn’t possible, but they have one of those mechanisms on the back that I guess controls rear braking and throttle if it detects a potential loop. I still think a wheelie school would be a profitable venture if you had the right instructors, taught only experienced riders who have not tried wheelies yet, and you have some sort of mechanism on your bike to cut the throttle or control rear braking. Just my 2 cents. :pat:

And to think, I have given my expert knowledge for free! :whistle: :lol:

Bull, I gave you my wheelie expertise on the SV for free. How did that work out for ya anyway?

Bull, I gave you my wheelie expertise on the SV for free. How did that work out for ya anyway? great dude......have you nailed the third gear yet....i almost have..... just get it up in second and ride it for a while then let it drop a lil and then bring it back up at the same time shifting into third........it scary for me right noew but i will work on it :dthumb:

I really haven't had the chance to try it yet, there was no where to do it at the gap a couple weekends ago, then all the rain I had. I have only been out 3 times for short rides, it been overcast, and rainy here in PA, then I keep going out of town every weekend its nice. I will get to it soon.

I believe most of these types of schools provide you with the bike and all. Look at it this way... $500 is only your collision deductable on your bike. So if you wad up theirs who cares! That is where it becomes worth it!

I am not in it to show off and look cool, just like to keep both wheels on the ground and ride fast. To each their own.

Hey so Ace...you figure you're just too cool to try to act cool? Oh, heck, you can pull it off with those Micron pipes! :dthumb:

I believe most of these types of schools provide you with the bike and all. Look at it this way... $500 is only your collision deductable on your bike. So if you wad up theirs who cares! That is where it becomes worth it! That's true. . The bikes are fitted with some sort of bars that will keep you from going past 12 oclock, etc, as well.

Ya, but that's just my take on it! Go there, learn some more, if you wreck their bike...who cares, that's why you pay all that money!

No, I'm agreeing with you now. $500 is a lot, but hell, it's worth I suppose. You don't have to worry about tickets, it's a controlled environment, etc.
