Wheelie schools!

[Stevemtb]

As in the title I've been thinking of a days training as it's long overdue for me to be able to loft and hold a proper one and if I leave it any longer I'll be on something slow and sensible as opposed to the current bikes!
So the question is who's done one, where, was it any good and are you now wheelying like Troy Corser?
Travel expected as I'm in West Wales, cheers.

I've done one! It was fantastic fun

I went to a wheelie school which I believe was close to the Llandow race circuit.

It was good fun - good to be using someone elses bike also.

I can try and dig out where it was if you want.

Oooohhh - yes please!
Any recommendations in the Gatwick area?

I had a go, it was great fun!



Near buckingham though so probably too far.

I’m just over in East Sussex, I done a day with stuntasylum at north weald airport, was a really good fun day out!

Yes, I was at Next Level Wheelie School last weekend.
It was held at MOD Lyneham in Wiltshire.
They teach proper ‘clutch up’ wheelies which I believe a lot of places don’t so be mindful of which school you book with.
Great setup, tuition was spot on and an all round great day.
Definitely recommended & I’ll be doing it again.

This is the place myself a few friends went to.

A good time was had by all...

It looks like they need to renew their website certificate.

The important ingredient is yut-ugh!

Come down my way - the 14-year-old kids are running a wheelie school in the main road in the evenings. No fees payable and no helmets necessary, apparently

[Stevemtb]

Thanks for the replies, sorry I can't seem to reply to them individually...I'd travel a couple of hours no problem and make an overnight trip of it, the main thing is learning the clutch technique which they don't all seem to do.

[HughiusMaximus]

The one I did was 2nd gear clutch up wheelies on a street triple.

That was a while back though!

Where is that exactly? Google Maps directs me to somewhere in Essex!!

Next Level Wheelie School say they’re only one of two companies in the UK that teach 2nd gear clutch up wheelies.
Don’t know who the other is.

It is up that way, it’s ten minutes up the M11 from the 25, when me and my mates were looking that looked the best local(ish) option.

Ah, ok. I thought it would be East Sussex/Kent Weald!
Essex/M11 is a bit far for my liking - is there still an offering at Dunsfold? Google didn't return much, but it may be operator error on my part...

[bsidethecside]

Looking through Trip Advisor they used to have Dunsfold but looks like that's no more; just Essex.

I was thinking of having a go with Dunsfold being down the road, but don't think Essex is viable.
