Am I One of the Cool Kids?

That's fun. I wish I could do one of those slow wheelies, I'm still working on that trick.

DH does them all the time. A friend of ours saw him do and he tried to do one and landed flat on his back. It was hilarious. (He had a helmet on).

I was out riding single track and approaching a crooked narrow bridge. There was a group of kids on a field trip all sitting along the river's edge. As I rode over they all "oohed and ahhhed." I felt like Superwoman for a minute.

That's similar to how Clock broke her back.
Not very hilarious.

I am not trying to learn to ride with a wheelie, just lift the wheel up. Also we aren't learning the "power stroke" method which produces a higher wheelie but is also more dangerous. Our teacher is teaching us to rely on the rebound of the fork to get a wheelie only high enough to pull a wheel onto a curb. It is still hard stuff.

I won't cop to being your friend, because I never have been, unlikely to be ever one of the cool kids. I'll admire you with appropriat respect from afar.

Wow! Way to go!
