I'm 41 and I finally learned how to wheelie, but it makes my back sore. But it's so fun I can't stop doing it, I can't imagine riding around and not wheelieing.
Any tips on my technique to help save back? I can't pop it up sitting down, I have to stand.
PS, for those curious it's a SE Fast Ripper, I'm tall, a little over 6 feet so I love the 29 bmx.
Rate my wheelie pop up technique please.

I think the issue might be how I lean forward then swing my upper body back to get body momentum to lean back.
I’m sure there’s a wheelie bike sub somewhere on this website
ok. just put a higher gear or a slightly more toothy sprocket
We do manuals over here mate, not many of us can help you with wheelies but from my limited understanding I think you should have more tooth on the front. Try a wheeliebike sub I’m sure they can tell you what’s up
