How to pull a perfect wheelie. A big part of the army is pushing yourself to be better. Sometimes we have to do that to do our job well. Sometimes we just do it for fun. Our mountain bike teams do it a bit more than everyone else. So who better to tell you how to pull a perfect wheelie? Step one. Find the perfect gear. High enough your legs aren't spinning everywhere, but low enough you're not straining the chain. Step two. Pick the perfect spot. A little uphill is the perfect place to practice. You want a bit of resistance against you. Step three. Cover the brake. Before you start, make sure you've got a finger on your back brake. This will bring the wheel down if you go too far. Step four. The big one. The pull up. Stand slightly bent with your pedals parallel to the ground. Push your strong leg on the crank. At the same time, move your weight backwards and pull up with your arms. Keep them straight. Step five. Stay up. Easier said than done. Don't look at your front wheel. Look forwards into the distance. Feather the back brake to keep the front wheel down. Step six. Practice, practice, practice. The wheelie takes time to master, but follow these steps and you'll be one in no time. That's how to pull a perfect wheelie.
