Hey there. here's a video of me doing a wheelie on my 2005 Suzuki V-Strom (DL650). its nothing super bad ass. but its like the first time i ever tried to do a wheelie so i was pretty psyched about it. i had done 1 or two other wheelies that were better. but it started to get windy by the time i got the camera. and i didn't want to risk getting the front wheel up TOOOOO high cuz the wind was moving me a bit. the sound at the end is my son (3.5 y/o) enjoying watching me goof off.

That's no wheelie. That looked like you were going over an invisible speed hump. You should be very careful though. I doubt your son will be laughing when he sees you fall off your bike while trying to do a wheelie :cry:

I've tried doing a wheelie with my bike once... almost fell off.

I've also tried to stay on a skateboard for longer than 2 seconds... big mistake, first after 2 weeks my ass forgave me.

and yeah this is the first time i ever tried to do a wheelie. which is why i was so psyched... cuz i was actually able to do it (without death)
and i can skateboard too... i'm not very good. but i can stay on it. and move on ramps and kick turn, and ollie a little bit... but there's not really any place around here to skate. so i don't really try to much.
and aside from this board (that my wife bought me for <Holiday Name Here>) i hadn't skateboarded since i was 8 y/o lol

lol it auto changes KristMass to <Holiday Name Here> lol thats funny
