Re: Whats better, loooong wheelie or knee down action?
Knee down without question. Real skills.
Wheelies are hard on the bike. However either done riding on public roads is simply showing off IMHO. (Which is not to say I haven't been guilty either on the odd occasion)

Yea - I feel more comfortable and safe! When I lean right its a mix of being scared of leaning into oncoming traffic!

Neither. Backing it into corners. Sliding it out even more so

Long wheelie.
Only because I can get my KD whenever I want really, so i've mastered that  Maintaining a wheelie is cool though, I can still only go throttle on, off, on to get mine up, and they rise about a foot, and last about 5 metres  Im lame. I don't wnt to go everywhere on 1 wheel, but want to be able to, as and when I want

Re: Whats better, loooong wheelie or knee down action?
Without question the most impressive is the long wheelie,stood up on pegs. Knee down requires way less skill and co-ordination.IMHO.
