I see a lot a crew practicing doing wheelies on bikes that all seem to be of similar construction. Some of them can go for hundreds of metres, one dude is practicing doing down hill wheelies in front of our house.
Is this just a Bunvegas thing or is it more wide spread?
Love a manual, sorts the riders from the wannabes and gunnas. Been on a bike all my days . I'm mid 40's now and still froth mountain biking . I enjoy giving tips to all the local kids on balance points , shifting weight and rear brake drag . It's cool to come home from work and watch them practicing, bunny hop , wheeling and jumping from home made ramps . Takes me back
I miss my 20" bmx . 
My son has nailed them on a mtb. I need a motor 
360 vid so click and drag around.
there's a local bogan/derro/houso who can mono like an absolute wizard.
No front teeth or anything, but he'll ride one wheel for kms, down the main street alongside parked cars, in and out of pedestrians and over zebra crossings. Puts the lycra latte crowd to shame.
This is on his mountainbike mind you
I gave him a nod one day as he passed, appreciating his skill and we are virtual besties now.
^^^ There's a kid getting around my community who's always one one wheel to the point I had to ask him one day if he was aware his bike had two wheels
Using a motor vehicle of some kind as a penis/ego extension I feel will be around for a long time yet.
Unfortunately the ****s that engage in such activity have no regard for the other people whom their behavior affects.
Whoops sorry. You are talking about mountain downhill bikes here.
Carry on.
Sorry guys and gals I'm talking about wheelies on push bikes, ones that appear to be specialized for wheelies.
JetSkie wheelies are not really what I was talking about, but whatever floats your boat
Back when I was a lad we used to count the number of pedal strokes to measure how good our mono's were.
I had a mate who could mono his 10 speed racer till the front wheel stopped turning.... You don't have to count pedals after that.
We all wanted to be like him
There's a Dude along the Northern Perth beaches, perhaps still, but certainly long ago, had a small bucket of sand slung under the seat/sissybar thing and would just cruise the coast, up and down inclines, big smile on his dial, and I can't say that I had ever seen his front wheel down.
Did I imagine that I saw him last year after decades?
yeah and then our dragsters were outdone by the intro of bmx's.
Anyone with a decent layback now had 1/2 a chance.
if you could mono the Cyclops 10 speed, you were a winner in my book.
Extra points if you could change gear midway..
Sounds like a lot of effort on a mountain bike ??
