What god of one-wheelness told you that method then? He sounds like an utter legend.

I hope thay you wear more than trainers, jeans or combats and just a t shirt like the rest of the stunter nutcases!! Never been able to do a proper one with the clutch, I prefer the pillion method!! Get a suitable pillion (advise against it being your missus if you have one), engage first gear hammer throttle.......wait for 7k rpm and oooooh jeeeeeeeeeez up she comes!
 Only thing is it really knackers the forks and chain after a while, feel good though don't they.

Yep, I prefer kneedown antics. Much kinder on the bike and looks just as cool (especially with sparky sliders). But I do wish I could pop wheelies whenever I wanted.
