I was at an agricultural show earlier today, as an added attraction
they had a professional stunt rider, here he is showing us how
to execute the perfect wheelie.



Rider takes off in a cloud of smoke..





He wheelie's the whole way down the avenue..





Rider hits the front brake and puts the bike on it's nose...





He makes a perfect turn at the end of the avenue..





Now facing the crowd again, he wheels away in triumph...

Very cool, thanks for sharing the pics.

Looks like a trial bike. Made for doing wheelies, stoppies(brakes and goes onto the front tire), and box jumps. Things of that nature that have to do with balancee, more technical riding. Not so much those long distance ramp to ramp jumps you see on TV.

Looked like fun though! Thanks for sharing.

Yup, trials riders are the stuff. Mostly very slow, climbing over boulders, fallen trees, the most technical stuff you can imagine. Incredible sense of balance.

You guys are right, it was a trials bike,
The guy was a pro rider and his bike cost £12.000.
He did a lot of other tricks and stunts and was
a great asset to a very good show.
