It's hard to wheelie on a mountain bike. I used to wheelie the heck outta my Mongoose when I was a kid. I think these mountain bikes are made funny.
:)
Seriously, It was about to loop and I just jumped off and pushed the bike away. It's not too banged up.

It is harder on a mountain bike then a moosegoose. If you get some riser bars (look like motorcycle handle bars) the front end will come up alot easier. Now take that bike out and hit some trails like boulder park, L.B. Houston, Cedar Hill state park (I think they are closed). Can't find a better exercise than mountain biking - I've been ridind for 8 years and I'm hooked!!! :D

When I was 14, I did a wheelie on my 10-speed. The front wheel fell out of the forks and I came down hard. I broke my jaw and scraped my hand. I had to live on a liquid diet for eight weeks. :)
Be careful out there JC.

I will. I let my 6yr old drive my 19mo old around in her battery powered Barbie Jeep, around the sidewalk in my hood. Yolanda and I rode the bicycles around in the near street. I decided to try a wheelie. Didn't work out too good. LOL

yea...it's harder on mountain bikes than the bmx bike we rode as kids. But, I've gotten up to 6 street lines on my mountain bike so far. :)
