| Hey, I'm Kevin and i'm 12 years old. I live in Holland, so forgive me if i don't spell everything correct. I don't have a bmx but I use a little mtb from my brother.( ) but I have a question about the wheelie. If i pull up the steer, I or: Immediately flip over, or: don't pull high enough and fall down. Can some1 give me some tips? | |

| I think you are talking about a manual. You aren't pedaling right?
If you aren't pedaling, it's a manual, and all you can do is practice until you find your balance point easily.
If you are pedaling, try to slow down or speed up to find the balance point.
I suggest not pedaling.
Welcome to the comunity. | |

| @poizone: I'm pedaling, that's why I called it a wheelie. What's easier then, Manual or Wheelie? | |

| A wheelie is easier, but a manual is better to learn. A manual is more technical, and used in more tricks. It's also cooler to watch. | |

| okay, thanks. Do I need to go fast for the Manual, or not? And something else, what should I learn first then? Manual or Bunnyhop | |

| Bunny hop. The bunny hop is the staple trick of BMX. Without it, your just another clown riding around town on your back wheel. There is a very informative guide in the 'How to" section on bunny hops. | |

| okay, thanks. Then I'll go practice on the Bunny hop. It's 7:30 in morning here in Holland now, so I'm going to school soon, but in the afternoon I have some time to BMX. | |
