Awsome! looks like everyone managed to get some height…

Love the shot of Mark on the back of Jimmy giving the finger! Such an enthusiastic grin :stuck_out_tongue:

Nice one guys. looks like you had as much fun as i did!

Its a great day out!

cheers again for taking those Ang!

we were defo having way too much fun to stop and play with cameras! Jimmy had to stop me in the end from doing more runs :smiley:

put some of this on the thread in the rideouts bit but it was a quality day - Jimmy is a top bloke and personally liked the way he broke it all down into stages. Even learnt how to snick it up into second in the afternoon which was way more than i expected to get. Jimmy isn’t in any danger of being outdone tho :wink:

Fun group of people to do it with too!

where are the wheelies ?:slight_smile:

LOOKS LIKE EVERYBODY HAD A GREAT TIME.

LIKE THE ONE WITH MARK ON THE BACK OF JIMMY

Take your smoke screen glasses off :wink:

maybe that two bros can has been shakin his noggin so much he cant see straight anymore :stuck_out_tongue:

Looked like fun, how about some tutorials on how to do a nice controlled wheelie using the clutch?

Nice gallery, Ang!

Please, try and keep your licenses and bikes intact now you’ve got a taste for it :slight_smile:

best tutorial is to go see Jimmy :smiley:

its not so much knowing what you need to do, its practicing on a bike that will catch you with the trip switch if (read ‘when’) you give it too much of the berries. not to mention slamming down the front lots of times!

I notice that there weren’t that many of Steve getting it up, no change there then!! lol :w00t:

lol!!

Thats what I was gonna ask too…

Was this the first attempt at wheelying for most of you?

I think for one day, you seemed to have made good progress - but remember, practice makes you perfect better!

Be safe up on 1!

:cool:

good thing is you can easily transfer these techniques to your own bike as ive started doing…although im yet to get mine into second gear!!

Were these first gear clutch wheelies then…?

yeah me and curtis hit an industrial estate on the monday to have a crack on our bikes to put it into practice (and trying to perform for the camera! :rolleyes:)dont think any of us could wheelie before we started the day at wheelie school?

Looking good boys :wink:

:rolleyes: There’s always a few who want to knock you down!

I thought they all did very well considering it was their first time at attempting them, … not everyone’s a ‘wheelie god’ :blink: Even Terry started at Jimmy Fireblades last year, so has had over a year to practice and practice is certainly what he’s been doing at every opportunity.

Arnie you’ll have to show us all how well you can do them next time you’re out with us. :slight_smile:

Hey Johnny I was a little concerned when I saw the title ‘Curtis getting it up’, nearly didn’t want to play the footage, but was pleasantly surprised to see the result of a little practice, well done fellas, maybe I’ll sign up for this next time. :w00t:

those vids of him are on redtube :wink:
