Miles Davis covers off some important skills and concepts.

A couple of issues ago we covered some wheelie basics, trying to tie in the key elements at slow speed to unweight or lift the front wheel over obstacles. It’s always smart to start off with the basics and at a conservative speed. The big thing is getting the timing right and blending everything together in a smooth and controlled way.

The next step could be looking at a slightly faster stand-up wheelie that uses many of the same control skills.
