Default Any good wheelie schools?

Hi all,

Long time since I was on, away with work for 7 months.

I am looking to do a wheelie school day. Any suggestions?

The closest to you that I've heard about is probably The South Coast Wheelie School, but, I know nothing about them I'm afraid !

However, I do know Jimmy Fireblade who runs his school in East Kirkby, Lincs - I haven't found the dosh to do his school yet myself - still saving !!, but those people I know who've been, rave about it.

for more info see :-

Be interested to see what you think of them. Some friends of mine went to a school that used a 1200 Bandit (I couldn't afford it), but that one was crap. Basically they weret old to sit back on the seat, roll along in first and give it a big mittful. Think I'm glad I didn't go. With a 600 I reckon it'll be more like what we're using to riding.

I'm crap at wheelies, they happen on their own, when they feel like it. Front end mostly stuck to the ground over the Mountain at Cadwell, but bobbing up and down changing into third out of the hairpin at Rockingham.
