It'd be better if it came with a manual.

@metaam: It may be the social isolation and beer speaking. But this could possibly be the smartest person alive.

@RyanLeech: I'm having trouble trying to access the course. I am already a member of your site, but the free "30 day wheelie challenge" can't be accessed being an actual member.

The pop up in the course page states to sign up.

Any other way to access this important information for keeping my sanity??

@downhiller900sl: We'll get you sorted out! Send us an email team@ryanleech.com with the email address that you used to create your account with. Ride ON!

This a great fit - when I attempt to wheelie you want to maintain your distance...

I signed up for this program last year and now I can wheelie like a boss! It took me about 60 hours of practicing but I followed Ryan's program exactly, gave it 100% effort, and it worked! It's so much fun to wheelie and it has made me much more confident and comfortable on my bike. It's also improved my technical riding skills, especially climbing technical sections of trail. Thanks @RyanLeech !!!

RyanLeech (Mar 19, 2020 at 13:45)

You're welcome - stoked to read this - and way to go with your dedication! Happy wheelie'ing my friend!

Nice! I purchased this a while back, didn't finish. Guess now is the perfect time to start it back up.

Ibismojo2012 (Mar 19, 2020 at 16:51)

Thanks Ryan. My son and I used to go to the Toronto bike show when Ryan was a part of it. He would put on a trials show throughout the day and then spend time signing posters and talking with the kids. He was a true class act and made both my son and I feel as if we were making his day better by being there and not the other way around. Stay healthy everyone!

RyanLeech (Mar 20, 2020 at 8:23)

So many great memories from those Toronto shows - amazing time in the MTB world - things have changed, and I'm stoked. Stay healthy, smiles to you and your family...

renbuskeh (Mar 19, 2020 at 9:34)

This is amazing. Through the madness its great to see so many leaders in the industry step up and take a negative and turn it around into something positive.

chickenlassi (Mar 19, 2020 at 10:55)

I just signed up and even though I'm fairly decent I can certainly learn something.
What I'm really wondering is which bike to use? Short chainstays?

99 Rocky blizzard?
Banshee rune V2?

I won't ask about my other bikes cuz the DH is too heavy and my Turner is in pieces.

wildedge586 (Mar 19, 2020 at 13:00)

Shorter CS is helpful as is a slightly lowered seat. My 26 cotic bfe with 425 lifts snappy and responds noticeably faster to weight shift, 29 phantom with 442 CS is trucklike while lifting and steering. Both work fairly ok once airborne

scotttherider FL (Mar 19, 2020 at 14:46)

Do it on the rune. I’ve gotten it down on my darkside. Take a while but so forgiving in the sweet spot. Longest I’ve done on it is 1/2 mile.

thustlewhumber FL (Mar 20, 2020 at 13:02)

Doesn't matter, you can learn to do it on any bike. Then those skills will translate across all your other bikes. I did the course and was pretty good, then did it again and solidified everything. Thanks for doing this Ryan!

shreddingpeas (Mar 19, 2020 at 9:32)

Now i have something to do whilst "working" from home, THANKS!

razorjack FL (Mar 19, 2020 at 9:52)

well... Europe can't leave even home now... probably for at least a month ...

RyanLeech (Mar 19, 2020 at 9:56)

So wild - time for practicing trackstands, hopping and nose pivots in the living room! Sending the best of vibes from BC to you...

At RLC We have folks training balance skills in garages and in their backyards

Braindrain (Mar 19, 2020 at 12:50)

I'm so pleased to have about 20m of flat garden, this will be great while I'm working from home.

rrolly (Mar 20, 2020 at 6:41)

@Braindrain: You now have time to take the flat out of that garden and make a proper British trail.

thechunderdownunder (Mar 19, 2020 at 9:56)

What a balancing act of social responsibility and fun.

aljoburr (Mar 19, 2020 at 12:16)

Well have been meaning to learn how to wheelie, so have a few ideas that have meant to try,
But never seem to get round to it!
The most important thing is practice a lot & YOU WILL GET BETTER!

boybiskit (Mar 19, 2020 at 9:51)

Thanks Ryan. Can't wait to tell my kids about this!

jflb (Mar 19, 2020 at 11:02)

Who do you know that can’t wheelie?
Strangely, most pro mountain bikers.

jhilly (Mar 19, 2020 at 12:23)

Rad!- will give this a go for sure

My son taught me how to wheelie when he was 10 haha.

Great idea. Train a trick you can not yet do, in a time when you should help the health system by staying save und healthy.

I thought a lot about this - my course is designed with safety in mind as it is, perhaps too much so, and I've emphasized these points in a special email sequence for all those who have decided to take up the challenge at this time. The drill sequence is very gradual and I 'drill' safety strategies in over and over, for example there are many rear brake control drills required before moving towards higher pedal stroke counts and before exploring the 'float zone' too intimately. Sending good vibes and wheelie smiles...

sargey2003 (Mar 19, 2020 at 11:28)

@nopain-nogain

It's got to be really hard to hurt yourself badly trying to wheelie - wear a helmet and some pads if you're concerned.

Best stay out of the kitchen too, there's plenty of scope for damage in there.

slimboyjim (Mar 19, 2020 at 12:02)

Funny that you call yourself 'NoPain-NoGain' and are so risk adverse? He's hardly advocating hucking cliffs...

scotttherider FL (Mar 19, 2020 at 17:53)

@sargey2003: hey you could blow your knee out. My buddy looped our and tore his mcl and meniscus.

jflb (Mar 20, 2020 at 12:12)

@scotttherider:
Unlucky for your friend, it’s definitely more dangerous than Netflix. I’ve been wheelying for about 25 years and haven’t looped out uncontrollably a single time.
Except for that time I didn’t realize i was on a Brit brake bike...
And that time I forgot i was on an aussies bike... and that time my bike didn’t have a brake.
Just do what Ryan says and practice the rear brake control.

Kind of off topic but please consider being a part of the National Day of Prayer coming up in the US and pray for your country. This will be the tipping point for our country into either major decline or recovery that turns into one of the most prosperous periods for the US. Also practice your wheelies and thanks to Ryan for providing this great resource!

scotttherider FL (Mar 19, 2020 at 14:51)

I understand you have the best of intentions but you gotta choose your platform. This is not the best of platforms for discipleship. To many people that are too cool for religion here man.

seismicninja (Mar 19, 2020 at 15:15)

@scotttherider: I agree with you

I have no use for religion and don't want to hear about it either.

softsteel (Mar 19, 2020 at 16:38)

@seismicninja: 1st of all: work out your sense of humour and your 2nd or 16th degree... if you can.
2nd: I can`t bear persons such as ``good thinking believers christians mother fvckers anywho they are`` unfortunately perverted by One unic belief - it`s not their fault btw, they`re just weak - but if you could get the fvck out of our simple and nice forum it could be great. Nothing to add. Thanx
