Could be a good way to learn.

It looks similar to the device that Keith Code uses in his wheelie school. At least one person (actually two, I believe) have died taking that course.

I guess that goes to show that wheelies can never really be "safe."

This is true I'd just never seen one before.

There is also the version that straps around your front wheel and your rear wheel is on like a dyno roller. The strap will keep your bike from looping and I know there are couple youtube videos with this type of device.

Just give me a POS bike that I don't care about and I'll happily try to learn. Matt? Loan me your bike?

Well when I can't afford a set of stands I don't think I can afford a 1500 dollar bike.

That is why we need clones so we can sell the clones kidneys/liver/lungs/heart, etc on the black market so we can fund our hobbies.

Well go ahead and buy it and let me use it. By the time you get back I should have wheelies down pat.

Even if you could get passed the pure sexyness of my bike long enough to sit on it you wouldn't want it... There would be cops all over you like flies on

Kawasaki makes a wheelie training device that I used with great success. It took a little bit, but once you master it, you can wheelie most anything. It's called a KX80. Try it!

looks like it would be easy to build
