Riding a wheelie can be a tough thing to learn for a lot of

riders. I mean, if you don’t learn it as a kid then it can be hard to pick it up

later in life on a mountain bike. It is one of those skills that I still

struggle with and I get a lot of questions from riders looking for advice on

how to learn it.

Unfortunately there wasn’t a great resource that I could

turn to myself or recommend to others. Sure, you could Google it and find a

bunch of videos and advice but there wasn’t something to guide you through the

actual process of learning how to wheelie.

Luckily for us, though, that’s exactly the problem my friend

Ryan Leech set out to solve. Ryan is an expert trials rider and all around

mountain biking bad ass that set the standard for technical riding for years

through films like the Kranked series and countless other appearances in the

media.

Ryan is also uniquely qualified to provide a guide through

the process of learning wheelies. He struggled with them at first, which forced

him to learn the process instead of relying on natural talent. Ryan also

credits learning to do a wheelie with helping him become the rider the is

today, giving him the confidence that he could learn to do anything on his

bike.

Ryan is also a skills coach who has also taught countless

riders the basics of a wheelie but he always felt something was lacking…he knew

what riders really needed was a system instead of a single lesson. So he

created the 30 Day Wheelie

Challenge in which he shows you his 30 day system for learning to wheelie.

Ryan’s mission is simply to help more riders experience the

“joy of doing a wheelie” so he agreed to come back on the podcast to share some

of his top tips and strategies for helping you to learn this elusive skill. If

you’re looking for a place to get started with learning to wheelie then this

podcast is a great place to start. You’re bound to learn something from a truly

wheelie master like Ryan that can help you.

In this new podcast I ask him…

- Why would I want to be able to ride a wheelie?

- What is the #1 thing you think rider’s don’t realize about

doing a wheelie?

- What are your top 3 tips for doing a wheelie?

- Are then any equipment tips you have for learning to

wheelie?

- How long will it really take before I can do a wheelie

with confidence?

- What’s the story behind the 30 Day Wheelie Challenge?

- Why did you set it up the way you did with a lesson a day

for 30 days vs. a regular manual?
