bansheezer Posted April 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Yeah the only problem i can see with a shee is that all the power comes on at once (powerband) so it makes me kinda scared of flippin it right over backwards, but like you guys say ill just have to practice and practice, thanx alot guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csrmel Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 hey its not a banshee but i have this riding lawnmower that i changed the pulleys on so it does about 25mph. i also cut the fenders off and removed the mower deck. using a combo of the throttle and the single foot petal which does the brake and clutch, i can wheelie across my front yard. i really get that fucker back on the balance point. its pretty easy because the seat has a 6 inch back support so i dont have problems with holding on. when i do go too far back i just jump of and let it go. it usually just flips over on its side and smokes untill i get back over to it and flip it upright. i suck at wheelies on the banshee. the nature of a 2 cycle means its hard to keep blipping the throttle and not tip over backwayrd because of the 2 cycle pipes hitting so hard. and the banshee has so much weight on the front, you almost have to stand it straight up to get to the neutral balance point. also banshee doesnt have a back support built into the seat like a riding lawnmower does.

TurbochargedOne Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 The biggest thing is getting over the fear of going over backwards. In order to ride wheelies, you have to find the balance point (as mentioned). In order to do this, you need to point the front end of the quad way up in the air, which requires you to be looking at the clouds. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this was a big issue with me at first. I don't like the feeling of falling backwards, so I struggled with the whole wheelie riding thing. What help me get over it was to try it at slower speeds in first gear (which helped with engine braking which made using the rear brake less critical) in tall grass rather than hard-pack dirt or pavement. Going over isn't fun on any surface, but it is more forgiving doing it on tall grass versus pavement. One of the things that will make things go much easier is your position on the quad. The further back you are on the seat, the easier it is to get the front end in the air. This is also a much more controlled way to do it versus using a lot of throttle and trying to sky the front end with brute power. This is especially true with guys learning how to wheelie. First learn body position and balance. Once you have figured out what you can and can't get away with as far as balance and body position, then you can move on to lofting the front end using power. If you first try riding wheelies using brute power, you will be moving faster which is going to be that much worse if you crash. Start slow, learn proper body position, balance and rear brake control and go from there. Oh, do I really need to mention to wear your gear?

banshee0044 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 best advice i have ever taken and that i can give is find that balance point and get used to it... right when you feel like your gonna tip over...just a little further back and you have found that balance point ..

chase@miamiatv.com Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 i use the power to stay up , when it comes down i just tap the throttle and back up i go , i have not 1 skid bar , grab bar or cooler rack and if i flip im fucked. Good back breaks and fast reflex's and your good to go. oh yeah dont for get your brain bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
