unicronicus Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Has anyone got any tips on doing 360 wheelie turns on a trials bike? I can do a 180 by sticking my foot down and leaving the other one on the peg but I would like to do this with both feet on the pegs. What gear should I be using as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Lots and lots of practice. It is best to ride with someone much better than you to push your limits, Only extremely great riders pull off the 360 at will. Good Luck.

renegade master Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 ok i am new to trials (few months) this is what I have found, 3rd gear start off by sitting on back mudguard (not too far back) and keep your two feet on the ground! dump the clutch and keep the bike vertical as possible on the balancing point, once the bike is up there eazy off on the throttle, you could nearly have the bike on tick-over and still wheelie nicley.... (remember keep your two feet dragging on the ground for extra balance till you get used of the throttle) and when you can go in a stright line for a good distance try leaning your body slightly to the side you wish to turn and tilt the handle bars the opposite way and the bike should go around smooth in a circle, but dont go to fast or it will go out of control very quick! then pratcie this a few times till you get the hang of it. then try it with both feet up on the pegs.... hope this helps, as all I can say is it has worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unicronicus Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Cheers for the replies guys. I can actually wheelie for a long distance in 3rd hear and sitting on the rear mudguard, or just short of it, so I'll try your suggestions. How does this transition across to stand up wheelie turns though? Because ultimately this is where I want to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 You turn by footpeg pressure. As in all turns body position is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
