Wheelies, stunts of any kind and all, are fun. Fun to look at, and definitely an immense source of pride for the riders performing them.
Nevertheless, when riding on a highway in a very large group, stunt riding is infinitely more dangerous, and not because of things going wrong with the trick itself, but because of the other fellows coming from behind. We'd say thou shalt keep thy wheelies to thyself, when in a group.
The occasional stunt rider in this movie has hopefully learned this commandment, after his brief moment of show-off glory abruptly ended in a rather spectacular crash. The guy was somehow lucky, as the whole group was riding at a relatively moderate speed.
Should this have happened at high speed, it'd hard to believe that the first guys behind him could have swerved to avoid running him over. And even more, think of the pile-up happening when a biker spills at the very start of a race... Once again, thou shalt keep thy wheelies to thyself when in a larger group.
