Don't really think this street culture of reckless wheelieing in traffic (1:07) is for celebrating.

Yeah you'd never have seen that in Sprung🙄

Skills are skills, you don't have to like where they came from but why shouldn't talent be celebrated?

And where else do you think they have? Maybe think about why this evolved on the streets.

Bloody cars, shouldn't be allowed on the road!

When that video first came out, you couldn't go passed a school without some kid shouting 'DO A WHEELIE'...

Had to change my route, as I couldn't do one, (but this video, always inspires me to try, (again)) 🙂

Loved this when it came out.

The song was absolutely my bike soundtrack for the summer, the video an inspiration to get better on my bike (I didn't, but I'm still inspired). Just a proper slice of feel good bike fun.

Ace!

@stwhannah, I saw you tapping up Lil Spartan and Nay Whaaat after the screening at KMF: Did anything come of that? The Q&A was so rushed there and it'd be good to hear more from them.

@ped still working on it! They seem keen but just got to get everything/everyone to come together to pull it off!

Also the part where he destroys that poor families picnic. No wonder cyclists have a bad name.

Ban this filth.

perhaps oddly, when I think of wheelie stars from back in the day, I don't think of Hans Rey, I think of Jez Avery,riding around without a front wheel.

Hans, yes as a pioneering tricks and trials rider, but not specifically wheelies.

Maybe just a UK thing though.
