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!Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
