Default Anyone know what this is????



It's a picture from Stuntwars courtesy of the pyscho gang website. It looks like some kind of trailer with a dyno-type roller that allows you to wheelie while you're on it. I tried going to the website that's advertised on the side of the trailer (www.wheelieride.com), but there's no info. If anyone has seen this and knows a little more as to what it's about, please enlighten me. This seems like a cool idea to learn wheelies. Definately decreases the danger for you, your bike, and most importantly, other people.

intresting contraption, i'd assume a dyno...but the wheelie, i dunno....defently safer than learning on nice hard concrete, bikes don't like being dropped..

actually looks really safe though. can't go backwards.. well the rider can, but the bike can't, and looks like the front wheel has some padding to come down on.

Although I can't see myself on one of those anytime soon, i must give mad props to the people who created it.

Looks like a decent training device but I don't understand why there are so many people watching. A monkey could bounce the lever up on that. Which is essentially all you do w/ the trampoline under the front and a leash.

Hahahahaha soo true. I wondered the same thing when I first saw the pictures. personally, if I was praticing how to ride a wheelie for the first time, I wouldn't want a million people around watching me.

I'll find out for sure on wed/thur when i get it. I'm about 85% sure its the ecu.

But, i would also not want all those people watching me if i was just learning. I'd rather go practice in a designated area tho. If you fall, u fall. Your doing wheelies, you cant expect not to mess up your bike once in a while. But then again i guess you can get the feeling of being up that high and knowing the limit using that thing.
