Mine will do it sometimes in 1st if I'm going up a slight hill in the turn.

Now I love watching racers wheelie out of turns.

Just other peoples experiences really...

I've been thinking about trying some various methods to experiment with it. There's always a good story when it comes to technique. I am sure someone has tried tapping the rear brake in that state, what does it do? I plan to try rolling on a little harder, turning it over a bit more while "airborne," and as noted previously, the next step is to get the rear spinning while the front is up...

hahahaha, just kidding, sorta...

Ahh, you're looking for suggestions on how to high-side.

Just kidding. Sorta.

The Buelligan code demands that the bike be ridden on one wheel at least 50% of it's overall lifetime.
