I'm with you on that one weee. All the people I know who are into big wheelies have crashed quite a bit. & crashing sucks big time!
Still think they're cool tho'!

Bloody big files ? Am broadband and got sick of waiting ?
Unless those sneaky NTL guys lied about contention ratios etc !!!

eh? I checked the buffer time with mine and it were cool, will see if i can compress or cut some unwanted footage out.

mines broadband, but im on 1 meg, that may be why its so quick. Have you tried right clicking and "saving target as"???? or go to my site and access them there, and try saving to pc, rather than watching from source.

I had a go tonight as per movie.......... well as i could wheelie anyway quite well on a supermoto but have never really tried a superbike just didnt see the point until NOW i bought a vtr.

The only problem i found is you just ran out of road to quickly and by the time your in third thats just to fast for me and more than i have ever done on the backl wheel before. On the supermoto 50-60 mph wheelies were the max really.

Anyway if you follow the instructions as per movie it does definelty help and you should be able to atleast do some form of wheelie.

So i tried it and it worked nowt more i can say really.

WHat an annoyingly gitfted and talanted bassa that superbike dude is - I know hes gone back to US now though! ha

Anyway rewatche it last night (have upstairs somewhere) and tried this morning on my way to work. Ws really relaxed and it must have been the best wheelie I've everydone

Only in first so it revved out and cam back down but woohoo.. now just need to wait for the roads to be a bit drier and then I'll do a bit more practice.

I really can't get it to come up in second though and don't like pulling on the handle bars as it goes a bit 'wobbly'

Oh well, practice practice practice...

must be a problem with my technique cos my mate wheelies mine easy, but i can only throttle up in first

Practise Practise Practise..................... on someoneles bike

Thats all i can say or buy a cheap supermoto or offroad bike to practice on because when you fall off generally it doesnt hurt that much

and these bikes bounce very well.

I had another go yesterday on the storm and i'm still getting use to it.
