sitting down......on the headlights, backwards

LOL

Actually I prefer neither....I like laying down, over the front of the quad, with my feet in the air like superman :macho

so I'm not sure which option to choose :)

Standing most of the time, like Borich did in the lat Huevos movie.:cool: Sit downs are cool too, it's just a little harder to see where you are going.;)

I'd say both! Need one more option on the poll! cause i like to do some stunts not as hardcore as JLanphear but it does end up being both.... sit downs are easy to do and see where your going.... just have to know the right places to look through :P stand ups are just as easy going slow as they are fast and so are sit downs so im kind of in a bind

I switch it up while wheelying....now starting to shift too. That is taking a little time. Also have been bicycleing on side two going directly onto a one wheeled wheely then two wheeled wheely.

id have to say both too because im kinda the type who likes a varitiy of things some times i sit and other times i stand on the pegs on the grab bar on the seat whatever seems like the most funn at the time. then i get those times where i go from sitting to standing on the pegs to the grab bar to the seat all in one wheelie then i start to stand on one for and only hold on with one hand and wave to the cars as i they pass

I'm usually sitting down!





on the ground after going back to far.:p




Seriously most of the time is sitting down but I change positions so many times in wheelies and do so many differant kinds there is no one wheelie for me. I never ride regular wheelies unless its a 5th gear one and even then most of the time i'm doing small tricks and change positions.

unless ur just doing it for funn riding wheelies with your foot in the grab bar is cheating and it sucks when the bar grabs expesially on pavement

LOL....I still can't figure out why it's cheating? Riding wheelies like that, or sitting, or standing, doesn't really make much difference.
