Let's start with the bike:
The most important thing on your bike, is your brake system, you will need the brake lever on your handelbars. When performing a wheelie, this will help you control speed and prevent you from falling on your butt. Your rear brake has to function properly or you will face the risk of falling.

Adjust your seat to a middle position, You'll ride the wheelie sitting down, and seat position will help keep you maintain your center of gravity and balance.

My seat height is 99 centimeters from the ground and the rails on the seat is 18 centimeters above the frame.

Now for the wheelie:
Lean back, outstretch your arms and sit on the tip of the seat. this way you'll have a comfotable position while performing the wheelie
keep one finger on the rear brake lever, and grip firmly on the bars with the rest of your fingers

One of the first things you need to learn, when you come up with the front wheel is how to control the sideway balance - this can be done with your knees, feet or by turning the handlebars in the opposite direction. Just make sure the handlebars are straight before you come down.

You can not learn this in one day, but with alot of practice you will get there. I've been training for about a year!

If you want to perform a really long wheelie, it is important that you keep your mind clear and look at the horizon. Focus on a smalle object way ahead of you, that will help you mauntain your balance.
