My friend Joel and
I attended the OOW class on 6/15/07 at the Tracy Airport. It was
way more fun than I could have ever imagined and we've got some video & photos
to show for it:

We're certainly more confident with our wheelie abilities after
taking the class.

I attended your On One Wheel School this past week (NJ Aug/25/2006)
and I wanted to say thank you for an awesome experience! Everything
was very well planned out and executed through out the day. Results
are immediate and you learn one step at a time, minimizing all fear
of flipping the bike over.
My instructors were Shaun and Nick and I must say they are the reason
why I am pulling controlled wheelies effortlessly on my 2006 Speed
Triple. Their instruction was both motivational and easy to follow.
The fundamentals of doing a wheelie that you learn at the school
is what is paramount to your success on the street. I now have a
consistent and repeatable process for pulling wheelies thanks to
On One Wheel! I can't wait to come back for the advanced session
using my own Triple.

- Thanks to all of you for a great school. I had a great time. James
and AC really made me feel comfortable doing wheelies and be the
end of the day I walked away feeling really good about standing it
up. I have already told many of me friends about the class and would
recommend it to anyone who rides and really wants to do something
different. I would never have believed you could really teach this
stuff. Enclosed is a photo of one of the wheelies.
Everything was very well thought out coffee to instruction. The
detail of instruction was excellent and every step was methodical
and helpful in the end result of riding a wheelie at the balance
point.

Tony Bosworth
How
can I thank you for a fantastic day at Pomona? Send me some flyers
for On One Wheel and I will place them at Air Combat and the Cable
airport flight school.
These are the guys I went riding with and most of them were in awe
of my "small wheelies!" (public roads and all). I will
let them know about your school on the "Forum" (www.af1racing.com)...discussions.
Your advance school was great, Good coaching,Very friendly and enthusiastic
crew. You have a winner of a school.

Bruce and I wanted to say thank you very much for the school experience
yesterday!!! It was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!
The entire day was perfect! I can’t think of one thing I would
change. And the team that ran the program was fantastic, Tim in particular
was a great instructor and you can see that he and the other guys
truly enjoy what they do and it shows!
We both learned a lot and look forward to another wheelie school
soon!!!!
PS- is there still spots on the Saturday August 13th date????????

Just a note to tell you that Travis had a great time yesterday at
the Solano Co Fairgrounds. The day was full of excitement, in fact,
I've never seen him so charged up. By the end of the day he was shifting
to second gear during the wheelie!!!
The instructors were very impressive, and I'll be happily recommending
the school to all who will listen. Anyway, the day was fantastic,
thank you!

I remember when I took the wheelie course, it was one of the best
experiences I had ever had on my motorcycle. Furthermore, now I would
like to go on to taking the track course with your guys. If you could
please forward me some information on the course along with the dates
and locations; that would be great. I hope to hear from you soon
I am super excited to get on track(pun).

Doing wheelies is frivolous, decadent, and lots of fun.
I had never done an intentional wheelie in my life 'til I took the
one-day Keith code wheelie class. At the end of the day, I was comfortable
popping wheelies and balancing the bike on the back wheel for a while.
I told my SWMBO that it was a safety course, and, in a way, it was.
Now, if/when the front wheel gets reeeeal light while, um, briskly
accelerating from a light, I don't feel nervous and chop the throttle
-- I'm comfortable with it.

Thank you so much for all your help, and yes, even though I was
only able to do one day on the course, it was fantastic, by the end
of the day I was able to pull balance point wheelies.......... simply
awesome.
Cheers

I just attended your school at the Solano County Fairgrounds. I
just wanted to say that I got alot out of the class, I am doing wheelies
at will for any length on my own bike now without a problem. The
instructor was awesome, and a pretty cool guy also. I ended the day
feeling like I had been doing wheelies for a long time. Feel free
to put that on your comments page for future students to read. If
you ever want to have a school in Colorado please consider me for
an instructor. I feel like I could do what your instructor did for
me and my classmates to get others up On One Wheel.
Thanks, and keep UP the good work.

Just finished school on last weekend. I have to say kudos to everyone
involved, Especially you Whitney for your great organizational skills
and S.K for his good teaching technique. Stu and the other two Steves
great job.Thank you for your courteous friendly manner. Looking forward
to the pics.
Thanks again, Ron M.
Thank you, Whitney! Those pictures of me were from a few weeks after
the class. After a couple of weeks on my own bike I am now able to
ride out 1st and 2nd gear wheelies.
Thanks again for the cool class!

Just wanted to send you a quick note --
The class last weekend was a blast. I think that it was quite well
organized and ran without a hitch. Riding time was pretty well maximized
and in all honesty by the end of the day I was pretty whipped and
really couldn't have ridden much longer even if I wanted to.
I went out riding my own bike last night and noticed a significant
improvement in my ability to carry the front wheel with more height
than I could before the class. The best part was that by riding the
wheelie bike and feeling how high you can go before hitting the wheelie
bar, I'm now much more comfortable on my bike and have better control
as a result!
Excellent job --
P.S. My riding buddies in the Midwest are begging for this class!
Milan dragway is very near Detroit and would be a great venue.

Last weekend I attended the two day Superbike School at Willow Springs
and then the one day Wheelie School. It was one of the most exciting
and enjoyable weekends I can remember.
I do not live for my motorcycle like many of the more enthusiastic
younger students I met, but as Keith says, "I like to amuse
myself going through corners as fast as I think humans should on
motorcycles".
I was somewhat apprehensive about attending the schools because
I am 57 years old and thought that I would be of little interest
to the young instructors who would prefer and probably feel more
comfortable interacting with students closer to their own age. Instead,
I was treated with a great deal of enthusiasm by my instructors.
In fact, I mentioned that to the instructoe at the Wheelie School
and his comments to me were that "people like me really got
the instructors stoked up". That they thought it was fantastic
that someone my age was interested in doing this and secondly my
participation confirmed in his mind that he could be enjoying motorcycles
for many years to come.
On the subject of the Wheelie School, we started a course at 8:00
in the morning but it was raining. Rather than cancel the school,
the instructors waited around until about 1:00 in the afternoon when
the track dried up and then stayed with us through to 8:00 in the
evening so that we could get a full day in. I thought that dedication
and effort on their part was commendable.
All in all, because of the excellent treatment I received from your
staff and the tremendous improvement in my riding skills and confidence,
I will be back next year for levels III and IV and I will be back
for a second day of wheelie training to learn how to shift gears
while in a wheelie.
I can't end the letter without mentioning the energy and friendliness
of Judy and Whitney, who seem to me to be holding the whole affair
together.
Regards, Rob G.
I’ve been on the road the past week or so and I’m finally
back to my computer. I just wanted to say thanks again to the whole
staff at On One Wheel. That was a really fun time. I still have room
for improvement but it sure inspired me to go beyond my natural limitations.
Good luck with future classes. My wife and I already bought one of
Mr. Code’s books and are planning to attend the cornering school
sometime soon.
Thanks again,
Banks (proud On One Wheel graduate) A.
I enjoyed the class (4/03) and was impressed with the instructors,Steve
and Tim they were on top of it at all times and paid close attention
to all the riders. I`d like to make the 6/13 course but it`s tuff
living in Alaska, but ya never know.But now that I have taken the
course I would like one of the on one wheel Ts. Thanks
Your advanced wheelie course was just what I needed to really take
my skills to the next level. The instruction was top notch, and just
the right amount. I would recommend this training for anyone trying
to take what they learned at wheelie school, and apply it safely
and effectively on their own bike.
Kindest Regards,
Shane C.
I wanted to send a short note of appreciation for all the help you
gave John and I this last week.
It turned into a great "extended" weekend thanks to you.
Although I'll never be a wheelie king, and I never really expected
to be one, we had a blast running up and down the track all day in
semi-sunny southern California (it was 17 degrees when we landed
back in Chicago - yikes!).
Anyways... thanks again.
Jeff R.
Excellent! ... Thanks for the Incredible experience at the Pomona
Wheelie School. Such a deal. Learning to do wheelies and doing it
on the famous Pomona Drag strip. Thanks to my instructor James Toohey
who obviously enjoyed the progress I made,... the revelations I realized
from his tutoring. Wheel stands Smile factor, is a 10!
Again, all of your crew did a great job and I had a GREAT day. I
was making plans for attending your Super Bike School when I saw
the link to the Wheelie School. I figured, Hell, instant gratification
as I had been chickening out on learning myself. A very good choice
on my part. Instant fun and a technical basis for improving on my
own.
I will be signing up in the near future for Willow Springs.
Again Thanks.
Craig R.
Many many thanks to Keith Code and the staff of the wheelie school
my son and I were at orange county on at your wheelie school and
words won't work to express the pure joy and thrill. I'm 46 and wheelies
have been in my blood all my life. I have Domokos bible and Rothwell
t-shirts over 30 years have passed since I've wheelied like that.
To pick up 3 decades later on the speed triple I was fighting tears
when the instructor raised the bar and I wheelied the distance. When
my "monkey see, monkey do" son (with a little experience
wheelying a xr200 but a total artist on a bicycle) began to do wheelies
the length of the course my heart was pounding 2 ways. Please give
Keith Code this message and my heart felt thanks. I'll be back.
I had a good time & I was amazed at the cross section of the
riders that showed up. The instructor helped me by showing technique
and giving pointers. The main thing was showing me to be consistent.
I know how to wheelie & shift through the gears now.
I want you to know how much the class I took on June 27 did for
me.
I was a terrible starter on my Aprilia RS250, because of my fear
of flipping over. I was always at the back going into turn 1.
Well, after taking your school, in my next race, I was SECOND going
into turn 1, and I finished in third place!
I would like to take the class again, if not this fall, then early
next year. I hope you continue to hold the school in the N.Y. metro
area.
Ron B.
I just want to thank you for Wheelie day. I had a terrific time
and I was able to reach my goal of wheelieing the bike to balance
point and keeping it there :-)
The instructor team was the best. A class act!
I made quite a lot of new friends too. I call them my wheelie buddies.
Again Much thanks Whitney, I will definitely recommend the school
for putting a huge smile on my face!!!!!
-Alberto
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my wheelie class!
The weather turned out great, the instructor and the other students
were a hoot and the lil lime green Triumph was a blast! I really
can’t remember when I had so much fun! I don’t know if
you knew this but, I had to drive ten hours one way just to get from
Tennessee to Florida, where my class was held, and I gotta tell ya
it was only worth… every miserable minute I spent in the car
gettin there! I’d do it again in a skinny minute! In fact,
I might sign up for the fall class in Atlanta. That’s how much
fun it was! I guess you can tell from all the exclamation marks that
I sorta had fun! Our instructor was as cool as a cucumber, took his
time with everyone, even those of us who were uh…somewhat
older, and actually molded us into Wheelie Monsters. That’s
right…we’re ruined for anything but wheelies now! The
system you guys have works! I mean it works goooood! I went into
this thinking I might actually get it up, so to speak, by the end
of the day, but the gradual learning curve and, of course, the little
thingy on the back of the bike virtually removed all the fear factor
so I had it up much sooner than that, maybe even by lunch, which
by the way was excellent. I developed a friendly rivalry with another
student and from about lunchtime until the end of the day it was
more about how long we could keep it up rather than if we could get
it up. As a matter of fact I made the last run of the day and it
was a sweet one I tell ya! It was the longest of anyone in the class,
probably half the length of the track. Some of us were actually changing
gears by the end of the day. So everything you told me about the
class was right on. My advice for anyone thinking of taking the class?
I say do it! It’s well worth the price of admission and you
will never have so much fun! Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Mark (you can call me “Dangerboy”) H.
I attended Wheelie School a couple of weeks ago. It was a full day
of wheelies and it was a blast. I highly recommend it. You can find
them at www.ononewheel.com. Every time I get one right, I go back
in time and become younger... ok, I'm exaggerating, but it feels
great!
The Speed Triple is the right bike for this and the staff is first
class.
Hope everyone is doing very well. Hope to see you guys soon.
Jorge
