    When I want to wheelie I just make the front jack stands higher than the rear ones.

    Wheelies waste too much time up the air, by the time you come down and get straightened out the other guy is going through the traps and you are on the trailer.............................unless it's a wheelie like this or maybe just a few inches more........just enough to get on the wheelie bar....IMHO

    The only attention I wanted when I was your age was to set a national record in SS/IA.

    Erick, I'm crying and laughing at the same time.
    Sorry that you did all that damage... but sweet to see your mav in the air like that. Time to adjust the rear traction system a little... wouldn't you say?

    I do have one question for you. How was your shorts after the sky viewing:rofl2:

    Blessing and good luck with the repairs.

    Wish my street car could do that. I mean, hope you didn't do to much damage. That is just awesome....
