  1. I was wondering. Has anyone ever done a wheelie on a unicycle. I have
    been riding unicycles for a month or so. I can ride pretty well but I
    really wanna learn how to do a wheelie. I don't think that it could
    much harder then doing one on one of those two wheelied unicycles AKA
    bikes. Well just if anyone can post a picture of them doing it and or a
    video. Cuz i would like to see that!!

  2. um, your question makes no sense. you could grab some habdle bars and
    hold them aloft while riding but i don't know what you're takling about.

  3. Have you ever seen someone do a wheelie on a bicycle. Well i would like
    to learn how to do one on my 24" inch Torker unistar. I thinks its
    possible but i need to learn how.

  4. Not sure what you mean. 'This'
    (http://unicyclist.org/cont/play.cfm?pi=m3202405xhop) perhaps?

    A wheelie on a bike as I understand it is riding only on the back wheel,
    so the essence of unicycling is a "wheelie."

  5. Hmmm.... Possibly but lets take this to a philosphy point of view.
    Maybe there really is a second wheel and we just think that there is a
    one wheel so we can impress ourselves and others are impressed as how
    well you can ride a wheelie. eh!?!

  7. a wheelie on a bike is pulling the front wheel up in the air, and only
    riding on the back wheel. there is only ONE wheel on a unicycle, hence
    the name, uni cycle. so you can't pull one of the wheels into the air.

  9. yesss, I see your post on philosophy, and.... you are quite wrong. I
    have inspected a unicycle several times, and there is, in fact, only one
    wheel.

    you're right. I bet there's no such thing as a unicycle. someday,
    someone will actually invent a unicycle, and then suddenly everyone will
    realize that they actually had an invisible second wheel because they
    will suddenly be unblinded. sort of like Adam and Eve.

  12. Is this guy for real? I also verify that the "UNI"cycle has one wheel.
    It does not have two. If it had two, I wouldn't have hurt my knee today
    when I hit a large, raised crack in the sidewalk and landed square on my
    knee. A wheelie on anything involves lifting a wheel(s) off the ground.
    So I suppose hopping counts.

    😕

  13. Maybe hopping does count and i feel sorry for your knee maybe you should
    have tried to do a wheelie. But after I do my wheelie i wanna try a bar
    spin in mid wheelie!

  15. You're funny.

    Edit: A bar spin? You must be confusing a unicycle with a bike, and
    here's the difference. One has one wheel, and the other has two wheels.
    How many wheels does your cycle have?

  16. It has two but i just think it has one so i can impress my self. It
    looks like what you would call a UNIcycle though.

  19. Here's another question. Does your definition of a unicycle wheelie
    involve the wheel leaving the ground? No hate here, but there is no
    trick on a unicycle called a wheelie because there are no extra wheels
    to pull off the ground. When you wheel leaves the ground, it's called
    hopping. Is that what you are trying to do?

  20. I have a question for you. Go back way back to the first post you see
    next to the topic there is a giant smiley face with the teeth and
    everything well thats called a joke smiley. I am JOKING about this
    wheelie junk but I am glad so many people were amused by it. I do ride
    unicycles, I do ride bicycles, and i do ride tricycles. And i can only
    do a wheelie on two of those. The bicycle and the tricycle. But we can
    still post in this thread.!
