Well I don't know about you, but this makes my small wheelies look pathetic.

I've been on a bike since about 8 years old (that's 40 years), been on mountain bikes since 1993, raced downhill for 6 years, and still can't manual or wheelie. Something goes with age...

That is simply amazing, you wouldn't think it was possible until you see it.

Yes I bet he's broken a few things learning how to do that. I remember jumping on my Grifter when I was 8, and the front forks folded on landing, oh the pain!

if you can't wheelie by the time you are 13, you will never do it.

I have tried but still can't do it, having SPDs does not help but I once managed to rip an XT cassette spider in trying!
