Default Riding course- Wheelie school

Experienced Riding Course- $125

Wheelie School-$500

Have any of you took these courses?? Do you think it's worth my time and money?

Hell I'll teach you to wheelie for $200, hell i'll even throw in lunch!

BTW, we can't help you unless you give us more specifics on the who/what/when/where of those schools.

just generally, i am asking if anyone took experienced or expert riding course that MSF sponsers. most of us took the beginner riding course to get started but
i don't know if anyone does further.

wheelie school is in jersey i believe. but it might be worth it cause i am sure
it cost way more if you drop your bike once.

yeah most ppl will teach for $200 but they won't use their own bikes!!!
i guess friends can teach each other but who is gonna be responsible if you drop the bike... so $500 might be worth it?? i dunno...

You won't learn to wheelie in one day...just practice yourself and take it easy.

I agree. Wheeling IMO isn't really a skill I would spend money on. If you take things slowly you shouldn't have a problem learning on your own.

When a cop pulls you over for pulling a wheelie tell him you went to a wheelie school. Maybe he will feel so sorry for you he will let you go.

Seriously if you are thinking of going to a wheelie school you are sad.

A friend just did the Advance course, he figured it'd be easy as cake...not on a sportbike it wasn't... A lot of slow stuff.

A wheelie school is going to make a better street rider how? If you wanted to ride on one wheel get a unicycle.

You usually never wreck when learnin...you wreck after you have it down and you start pushing the limits.
