HOW TO NOSE WHEELIE

Nose wheelies are on the more advanced end of the skills spectrum but are a great skill to learn as it promotes great brake control and awareness of your front wheel balance point. I should note that this is more of a traditional nose wheelie where you are using the brakes the whole time to maintain your balance – not a nose “manual” which is done without brakes and very few people on this planet can pull off! While it’s not a hugely practical skill on the trail, it does help with knowing just how much you can front brake down really steep stuff, pulling off a nose wheelie turn if you ever need to or most importantly, looking awesome when you are the last to show up to go riding and the group is waiting. That is until you go over the bars… Here are some tips to get started.
