It's a ton of paper work and some research... but i found that the official longest quad wheelie is only 2.8 miles!!! It was in circle too..wtf. I sold my banshee about two weeks ago. Just before i sold it i wanted to see how long of a wheelie i could do. I got my buddy on his R6 to follow me. On my second and last attempt i got 1.9 miles... on Union Grove Rd. It is by NO means straight. So i've, bought a 400EX (still in pieces LONGER STORY) b/c i love wheelie's. Plus i've always wanted some kind of world record. The only catch is that it has to law abiding... so i have to talk to the local po po station and have them escort me if it's on public streets. I know i can shatter 2.8 miles on a 400EX. Man that would be awesome to be able to bragg about. It takes over a month n a half for everything to go through! So as soon as i get the 400 or 416 together I'm gona try for all of Union Grove Rd... which is 11.6 Miles and fairly challenging... if i can get any where close to all of it then i'm goin to try for a straighter road w/ a po po escort. THIS IS POSSIBLE!!! I'm gettin excited...:D

What do yall think???

The record is "rested". meaning it is not available to be broken.

Yup, yup, yup, and yup.

It's too bad, but I figured I'd save you the time of contacting them.

Well, is there any way AT ALL around that, or another form of world record. What about the longest "Standing ATV Wheelie"? That's how i had plan to do it... standing up (it's easier to take turns).... Hell yeah i'm gonna do it anyway... I already bought the 400...:ermm:

08-30-2006, 02:59 PM
yeah man go for it if you think you can do it! and be sure to get it on video...what gear do you find the best for long distance wheelies?? a kid i knew could do wheelies for a long time on his XR250 and Cr 250

I'll go between fourth and fifth... Fourth for the sharper turns... That is if i can somehow make it official... it's stupid to put "rest" on a record... Maybe i can at least get in the local news...

Well I believe Guinness says you have to do all the paperwork with them BEFORE doing an attempt, otherwise it is not valid.

Who knows, maybe there is a way of getting some other type of record in there. You could give it a shot, but it's a long waiting game with them.

You could probably get on your local news if you did it on that road you were talking about without permission...hahah..j/k. :devil:


Thank you for sending us the details of your recent record proposal for 'Longest Wheelie on a Four Wheeler (ATV, Quad)'. We are afraid to say that we are unable to accept this as a Guinness World Record.

This record is currently rested, which means that no one can attempt this record and become a new record holder and therefore is not a category that we wish to pursue further.

We realize that this will be disappointing to you. However, we have considered your proposal fully; in the context of the specific subject area and that of records as a whole, and our decision is final in this matter.

Once again thank you for your interest in Guinness World Records.

Yours sincerely,

Alessandra Stanimirov
Records Management Team

I don't know how they can rest a world record. If someone can do something better than the current record holder.....then why not? Think about if they rested every record......boring
