longest wheelie: very far, >200m. my mate on the other hand can wheelie for km's without thought, he just pops it up and off we ride. you haven't mastered the wheelie till you can turn corners, slow down, speed up, stop then start backhopping and then start off again.
Manual: full length of a basketball court (slight downhill), i am just getting them now by pulling back, ie not transferring from wheelie to manual.

Turning corners is easy, the key is being able to go up and down hills. And stopping, doing a 180 in rear wheel hops and then starting again.Bonnet said:
Another fun one is to find a big downhill road, go into a sitdown manual, and then do a huge no footer, just roll along on the back wheel with your legs hanging way out your sides. Very amusing.

I Love manuals they are the shit (I would bag them if I could not do them) at The moment I am working on coming out of a half pipe and landing in manual. Longest manual about 40-50 meters (Who measures them?) Wheelies at will. Best Wheelie, the board walk at underwood park, if you don't make the corner you end up in the drink! My mate Chris McCormick busts that board walk doing one handed wheelies across it. That boy has skills to burn. He also does one handed manuals, that is only one hand on the bars and both feet off and no handed wheelies.

i used to be unreal at high speed manuals... i used to go down a road in geelong and be able to overtake cars on the back wheel... then i lost the nack after a long period with dodgie brakes.. now im gettin them back again! im trying lazy boys (no-foot-one-hander manuals) but they are hella hard to controll..
