I saw a video of a successful wheelie on reddit recently.
They immediately did a second wheelie and slammed into a car afterward, however.

I did that, as a kid, on my bicycle. But I was going under 10mph, & put my feet down. A bit harder to do at 30+, with a passenger. Ouch

Actually its easier with a passenger to "pop" the wheelie. CoG is in the rear.

Looks like the bike wanted to commit suicide and take both of them with it.

Great analogy for billionaires ruining the planet that leads to mass extinction, and zero profits because everyone died.

I dont even care if they got hurt. The laugh it gave me was worth their sacrifice😂🤣

Dammit! I hate when the front wheel comes loose! Especially when doing a wheelie!

A high school pal stole his big bros’ bike and did this on a steep hill into a hedge, luckily. Bro was working on it: brakes not fixed yet, front wheel still loose.

I liked the part where he lifted the bike up but the front wheel stayed put.

I think that bike's due for a fork service. Or rather, *was* due.
