Congratulations mate. Always remember that wheelies and stoppies prove that you are big and clever!

Take it easy fella. Be a shame if you binned it so soon after getting it.


Me? I never knowingly wheelie

Nice but IMO much better to clutch it up in second.

Saying that wheelies are are for puffs, real men do stoppies . Have a guess at which(W or S) I do. No you don't get a prize :P

Cheers

Well done that man. keep it up. (Ooooh the punnage)

Stoppies take more skill imo and larger dangly bits are required. Stick with wheelies, much easier to stop stuff going wrong.
