Can Any Idiot Wheelie?

Our resident Idiot & camera operator Jack is out in Bentonville with Trials legend Martyn Ashton and EX DH racer Neil Donoghue for a day of MTB wheelie skills! Will Jack be able to learn how to wheelie in a single day? Can he bring these skills back to the UK and join the #WheelieCrew?

Awesome content GMBN. Something different for once. Get your backend team (video, audio, editing etc) more often involved. I think many new mtber's wanna learn it. But if pro's like the presenters always show it, it seems easy. Good job!

A lesson from the legend Martyn Ashton.. Lucky chap.

[stressballsteve]

I assume Neil’s camera work wasn’t up to much as none of his shots were used 🤣 great tips in the vid!!

[olivermoore]

I love Blake just hitting jumps in the background.

Congratulations Jack! There is hope for me a 53 year old newbie MTBer

Love the video Definitely inspired to go out and try now. Definitely would like to see the less experienced riders on the gmbn team learn some things. Definitely would help seeing someone who isn't a pro learn some basic stuff.

[christopherwatson]

Easily my favourite video from you guys. This is just good fun and also a great way to show learning. Superb!

[nickholzem]

I love seeing all the efforts! Really shows how much work goes into learning a new skill. I'm guessing there were more attempts not shown in this video.

[Danpash]

Great suggestion Ashton. I have watched a lot of tutorials on how to wheelie. And your suggestion to loop out like that is the first I've heard. I shall certainly be giving that a try!

[clipless]

So good to see Martyn! I loved his road bike party videos. Talented gent.

[goingbonzo]

I like how he progressed: You have to first loop out to get the brake point then practice practice practice. Good job!

[chrisvallance]

This has inspired me to try my first wheelie. I'm 40 this year 😂

[junka]

That was awesome Jack, I am still working on my wheelies and manuals. I just want to know did you get your cup of tea off Neil and Blake when they got you to film inside that river on their bike packing trip?
You certainly have the best teachers for wheelies in Martyn and Neil. Awesome job all round fellas.

[RidesWithJake]

Learning to loop out first, such a sage advice!

[chuckrodgers]

Another fun filled video. Jack did great !! I am still trying to figure out the wheelie, since I am almost 70, I am beginning to think I never will. Still fun to try . Keep up the great videos, lots of good info to try .

[ambalee]

Awesome! That wanted me to get out and practice more!

[dvs]

Nobody gonna mention Martyn rolling backwards while filming and Jack having to catch him? 😄

[calilife]

Bro you guys are Hilarious where have you been my whole life!!! 😫😂💪🏻

[Adasrast]

Please more that type content 🥰 love it.
