The wheelie is arguably one of the most spectacular things you can do on a motorbike, with relative safety if you have the necessary experience and confidence, and you know what you are doing. This rider, however, seems to lack all of those things, because as he sets off trying to do his wheelie, and he immediately loses balance and veers to the left.
Another mistake he made was the fact that he tried to do it from a standing start, and it is well known that before trying such a maneuver, you need to be at least rolling first, in order for the rider’s body weight to be properly centered. Another mistake was not raising both feet at the same time, leaving the right one trailing and causing him to veer off trajectory, and violently so.
We hope he wasn’t too seriously injured and that next time when he attempts to do a wheelie, he will be much more careful.
