.::Standup Wheelie::.

Same as a sit-down, you can do this one either on power or on the clutch. I'll also bounce the bike a bit to help it up. Bouncing down on the handlebars preloads the front suspension. The energy of the fork releasing, combined with the throttle input, pops the wheel up.

  1. Stand up first, then lean forward.

  2. Bounce it by pushing down on my arms, causing the fork to compress.

  3. When the fork comes back up rev a little bit (not as much as a sit down--standups take less power to lift up) and pulling on the handlebars to bring the bike up.

  4. As the front wheel comes up, drop your body back a little bit to help it along.

  5. Bend your knees when pulling the bike up, and once it gets up to about 10 o'clock straighten your legs and lean back.

With a standup you can hold the throttle in one spot and use your body to control the wheelie.
