Tips & Warnings
Practice a lot. Do not give up if you fail the first few times. If you keep trying you will learn from your mistakes and quickly master the wheelie on your dirt bike.
Be careful not to give too much throttle or you will flip the bike out from underneath you and end up on your butt.
Do not do this stunt on a windy day. The wind will push the bike around more when it is only on one wheel and may cause you to lose your balance and fall.
You will fall a few times so be sure to wear a helmet and other pads you deem necessary. Be prepared to flip backwards onto your back and to crack your head a few times.
