Cali, huh? Been out to Magic Mountain in Palm Springs once. Loved it! We're gonna be making a trip up to Palomar or somewhere else Spring next year.

It happens to me once in a while, but nothing too regular. I find it doesn't affect my line too much, unless I don't realize the tire's floating and it comes back down and surprises me. Definitely a cool feeling though.
What kind of notes you looking for? I suspect you're not looking for advice to keep the front wheel on the ground.

Mine will do it sometimes in 1st if I'm going up a slight hill in the turn.
Now I love watching racers wheelie out of turns.

I've been thinking about trying some various methods to experiment with it. There's always a good story when it comes to technique. I am sure someone has tried tapping the rear brake in that state, what does it do? I plan to try rolling on a little harder, turning it over a bit more while "airborne," and as noted previously, the next step is to get the rear spinning while the front is up... hahahaha, just kidding, sorta... |

I've slid the rear tire, but my long-wheelbase bikes aren't wheelie prone.
FYI, here's what Lee Parks says about coming out of curves in his Throttle Control chapter: "The faster you roll off (the throttle), the faster and harder the bike will pitch forward, which can cause all kinds of handling problems if done at an inopportune time. The same can be said for quickly releasing the brakes, which has the same effect as quickly applying the throttle. Combining the last two actions, as many novice sport riders tend to do, makes the bike extremely unstable and wheelie prone. The fix for this is to have a transition period where you are doing both actions simultaneously." |
