I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

The guy sliding for sure. He eyes the bike while he's on all fours, then stabilizes and just takes off jogging like Arnold.

He got lucky that it was wet and the tires didn't grab as much, if they had I'm guessing that he'd have highsided when it kicked back around.

Are you kidding, the guy who does the ultra moonwalk is loving awesome. Those are some sweet moves, and the sparks flying from the shoulder impact didnt hurt either. Guy made it look like he was just sliding on some ice.

You should start giving it a little more gas as you set it down...it'll help save your fork seals. Work on getting it consistantly a few inches or a foot or 2 off the ground and setting it down gently, and work your way up.

Not that you should be pulling wheelies on public streets or anything. :xd:

The first and the last one were the worst for it. Not horrible, I've seen (and done) much worse. Wheelies are one of those things that are honestly best learned either on the dirt or in a big parking lot with a bike you don't care about dropping...his choice of practice location isn't exactly ideal.

Basically, once the front end starts getting up a reasonable amount, throttle goes off and the front end comes down hard. It's just instinct, really...if you can learn to override that, your front end will last a lot longer.

Stoppies were always my thing though. Wheelies are cool but stoppies are a lot more fun in my book :)
