I think this year i will be limiting myself on stunting and concentrating more on canyon carving and learning some lines. Its no fun when your doing wheelies all day long but when you get to a turn, you slam on the brakes hehe:D

Ninja, the reason why you are running out of rpm's and hitting redline is because you havent gotten to the balance point. When you reach this angle which is more or less 10o'clock, you will notice that the bike no longer straining to keep the bike aloft but instead has settled to a nice stable hum, you wont be going faster either, just maintaining about the same speed. Try to find this point and you'll see your wheelies get longer and longer. I heard Sugar from one of the stunting crews mid west can do a one mile first gear wheelie. This is something im trying to do consistantly also.

Ken thats it exactly, also I'm hyper-sensitive about getting pulled over so I don't do it as much as I'd like to.

oh yea ...getting pulled over and having your bike taken away is no fun...not so much the fact that you have to walk home, but your baby is gone .. =\
