How To Do A Peg Wheelie
How To Do A Peg Wheelie: There are some awesome moves in BMXing, some harder than others. A Peg Wheelie is a great place to start, helping you impress by taking the standard wheelie that step further. Jason Forde of Team Extreme demonstrates how to do a Peg Wheelie on VideoJug.
-
Step 1:
-
Starting position
-
To perform a peg wheelie, you must be travelling at a moderate speed, with the peddles parallel to the ground. As you travel, gently move your back foot onto the rear peg (if you have a short bike this can be made easier by just resting the heel on that peg.)
Next bring the front foot back in the same way so you are standing on both rear pegs.
-
Step 2:
-
Pulling up
-
Lift your dominant foot off the peg as you coast, and hang it back to provide balance, adjusting its position as necessary.
Once you have your balance, lean back slightly whilst pulling up gently on the handle bars so the front wheel raises up in the air. You should bring the bike to a 45 degree angle.
-
Step 3:
-
Coasting
-
Simply coast forward in the position for as far as you want. Don't lean back too much, try to keep the body straight, and keep the handle bars pulled up into you by bending the arms. Continue to use your raised foot for control.
-
Step 4:
-
Riding out
-
To ride out just push down on the bars and lean forward gently. Once the wheel is back on the ground, smoothly step back onto the peddles and ride away.
