hey guys/gals.... I know the subject lured you in here with some hope that there is a pic of this or even how to do it....but no, actually iam just curious if anyone ever heard about this?had an arguement last night with one of my friend saying he saw a video that a guy did a no hand wheelie:confused: :no he said that the guy picked it up normally , he stood up, and then expanded his arms to his side while the bike wheelied:eek: ...yeah and then i told him, that what the guy did was set his cruise control on and let it wheelie by itself!!:D what a twit!!:mad: oh well, just wanted to share this with ya, feel free to post your opinion on the matter:lol

I saw one of the Starboyz do a no handed wheelie on a four wheeler, he turned the idle up, got it up, then worked the rear brake with his foot to keep his balance. but on a sportbike...:lol that i gotta see.

The video called "Road Rage" has A.C. Frias doing a no handed wheelie on a trick bike. He has one foot on the front peg and the other on a stirup on the tail section. he also does wheelie donut. Enjoy :rock

Hey, new to the list, and I have seen this. In Tulsa a few weeks ago at the WSRC. I think his name was Kevin Carmichael. He was on a blue GSXR I believe. I think how he did it was by throwing in it neutral and balancing it. He had one foot in a stirrup deal on the tail, and the other foot on a peg. He also did this with a guy on the front, above the front tire facing him. They both had their arms out to the side, and had it up for a few seconds, seemed like forever though. I have this on video, not the best footage, but you can definitely see that it’s a no handed wheelie. Anyone who doubts me, I’m in the Chicago area, and I’d be happy to show ya.

Whada tell ya about AC? Isn't this guy insane? Nice job finding that one ny2nj. Here in California there is an auto parts store named PepBoys and they have this video for sale it runs like 10 bucks or so. It is a short video but has some nice stuff on it. I am pretty sure there are PepBoys stores nation wide.

welcome t-pole:hellobye I was in Tulsa also. That show:rock I didn,t see another 02 r1 there, other than mine. Too bad the weather did not full cooperate. It was still worth the trip. Them boys got some major skills! Anyone who gets a chance to go to a stunt show, DO IT! It's well worth the time and $. Later

I actually didn't have the bike at that time of the Tulsa stunt show, just drove down in the cage. I picked the bike up last night though. I'm pretty pumped!!!!:rock Anyways, wanted to let you guys know that this forum is pretty sweet. A lot of helpful stuff on here.
