I can ride a wheelie almost forever untill I start going off the road. Today I tried it a couple times, riding a wheelie in 4th and leaning either left or right (the way I wanted to go) and it did'nt effect the quads motion at all.

Am I not leaning enough? How do yall do it?

U might have to much air pressure in your back tires. The whole point of leaning over is to make that sides tire squish, which makes the quad turn to that side.

yea, i got the same problem, still working on the whole weight shifting thing. Im getting better at it..but most of the time im so concentrated on trying to shift my weight and stuff i end up losing the wheelie

it works, you gotta make sure you do it a lot. I can steer it around bends in the highway and keep it in my lane and everything. Hardest part is just getting it started off right. You really got gotta hang off the side of it though.

so low tire pressure is key to turning wheelies?? Is this like 2 p.s.i. or something?

think about it. If you don have low pressure int eh tires wyou wont be able to compress it and thus you cant chage the diameter of that tire and thus again the quad wont change directions

I have some video of turning in wheelies.....Yeah, low pressure helps...leaning far is the most important part though....also you can do it sitting....slide over so you are almost sitting on the fender that you want to turn towards....then lean over that way too.

hahah, now that i think about it i actually have a video of me doing 2 circles in a wheelie.
