    I think Jimmy Fireblade has now stopped. I used iwanttowheelie.co.uk last year which was okay. First gear power wheelies, not many seem to do clutch wheelies as more chance of it going wrong.

    The bikes have cut off sticks so if you go to high it cuts the power to bring the front end back down again.

    Or if you know of some private land big enough, then we could all pile over and spend a day giving it a go.

    I did it. Was an all day thing and the guys were really positive and pushed us past the "fear" :D

    Their bikes were a bit ropey but they spend their life getting their clutches, suspension and head bearings hammered by wheelie newbs, so they did pretty good considering :)
