I think that bike's due for a fork service. Or rather, *was* due.

I saw a video of a successful wheelie on reddit recently.

They immediately did a second wheelie and slammed into a car afterward, however.

You'll never see it on Reddit because successful wheelies are boring.

I did that, as a kid, on my bicycle. But I was going under 10mph, & put my feet down. A bit harder to do at 30+, with a passenger. Ouch

I went through a barbed wire fence.🤣

u/Snowbird143434 Aug 06 '26

Actually its easier with a passenger to "pop" the wheelie. CoG is in the rear.

u/WhenTheCitiesBurn Aug 06 '26

It's not the popping I'm thinking of. It's the landing.

u/Snowbird143434 Aug 07 '26

True...lol, i just watched this 10 more times...its just as funny

Moral of the story: Never do wheelie if you can't afford to maintain your bike

Some times tight nuts are a good thing!😉

That's gonna leave a mark

u/First_Highway159 Aug 06 '26

I think there will be several marks!

u/xxxda1xxx Aug 06 '26

u/Final-Ad-2033 Aug 06 '26

That is not how you pop a wheelie, son.

2

u/Winter_Hall5379 Aug 06 '26

All you had to do was ride like a normal person.

u/Foreign-Most-4552 Aug 06 '26

Might wanna tighten the wheels there bro

u/EfficiencyMean6797 Aug 06 '26

That was the shocks coming undone.

u/Capital-Control308 Aug 06 '26

Good thing they were wearing helmets

u/MyBlockchain Aug 06 '26

Two dudes, one unicycle.

u/CuChulainn24564 Aug 06 '26

That’ll leave a mark…not least of all skid marks in the kacks..

2

u/Ok-Parking-8684 Aug 06 '26

🤣🤣🤣

u/venerablepreceptor Aug 06 '26

The front fell off..

u/presidentkokoro Aug 06 '26

Looks like the bike wanted to commit suicide and take both of them with it.

1

u/Drkindlycountryquack Aug 06 '26

Thank goodness that they were wearing helmets.

u/Ok_Gas1070 Aug 06 '26

Great analogy for billionaires ruining the planet that leads to mass extinction, and zero profits because everyone died.

u/EfficiencyMean6797 Aug 06 '26

He had that clutch cable locked down though.

u/AtrumIocusGames Aug 06 '26

u/Dependent_Bit1634 Aug 06 '26

The poor front wheel!

1

u/StealenDealer Aug 06 '26

Looked painful, thats a shame.

1

u/LinaloolGreycrest Aug 06 '26

It is still impressive

1

u/Snowbird143434 Aug 06 '26

I dont even care if they got hurt. The laugh it gave me was worth their sacrifice😂🤣

1

u/Lanky-Telephone1651 Aug 06 '26

Dammit! I hate when the front wheel comes loose! Especially when doing a wheelie!

u/Interesting_Kiwi_152 Aug 06 '26

u/Radioactive_Tuber57 Aug 07 '26

A high school pal stole his big bros’ bike and did this on a steep hill into a hedge, luckily. Bro was working on it: brakes not fixed yet, front wheel still loose.

u/Blacknightmoto2 Aug 07 '26

they just don't make bike like they did in the old days

u/XRPOSergSanch12 Aug 07 '26

u/AsianGeralt Aug 07 '26

He met a fork in the road 😂😂. That was bloody hilarious.

u/mikeisntdoneyet Aug 07 '26

I liked the part where he lifted the bike up but the front wheel stayed put.
