Learn to Nose Wheelie - Free Online Course with Sam Fastle

I want to share with you the steps I learned in order to rear wheel hop / nose wheelie and pivot the rear wheel to the side. I break down this skill into many steps in order to build a foundation of micro skills to speed up the development of this technique.

For the months of September and October 2023, I am offering a free mini course with 12 lessons on how to learn to nose wheelie. The course is aimed at beginners but includes advanced aspects of this skill including static hops, full bike hops and using rear hops in a section. Pro rider Sam Fastle teaches and I offer supplemental tips and drills for a comprehensive approach to learning.

Great video Tommy T. Remember when we worked on this in the Ryan Young class and I smashed my foot into the ground??😂 I was leaned over to the left and the bike fell that just like you described. 😂

I'm struggling my friend. Struggling is probably an understatement. I still can't balance on the bike. There's absolutely no way I can stand on the bike without putting a foot down. What could I be doing wrong? I want to progress but I'm not sure I will ever pick this up. Been around dirt bikes since the 70s and owned a Montesa 250 back in the early 2000s but I never rode trials. I just rode it on tight trails in the central Pennsylvania woods and it was awesome for climbing the coal piles that surrounded us here at that time. Had to do a lot of maintenance though riding on coal it has an acidic effect on wheel bearings and such. But do you think I will be able to pick this up? What am I doing wrong trying to stand on the bike without putting a leg down? I see guys standing on a trials bike for a long time and even manage to kick start it standing still? I imagine you can do that. I probably never will as much as I want to learn. And do you have any knowledge of a Gas Gas TXT 300? I'm having a very difficult time starting this bike. I'm 5'8" and weigh 145 pounds and I swear I put every pound of my weight on it and can't kick it over. Do you think an S2 low compression head would help? Thanks
