I emailed the link and am waiting to hear back... the 2010 season hasn't been posted yet either, so hoping to hear back from that too.

there is only one class held in english, so that is not their priority.

I got it to translate to English. A google tool bar pops up and asks if you'd like to translate it, on the top right there is a translation button.

Its not about priority, its about demand. The course instructors are bilingual, if you call them to set up an english course they will.

Although it books up completely for the year pretty early, if anyone is thinking about it they should do it now.

I'm with you, either you get it or you don't, it's not something you can take a course in. May teach you some fundamentals, but like any sport, you either take to it or you don't. If you can't figure it out, you shouldn't be doing it, you're just going to get injured and/or wreck your machine. For starters, you really need to be somewhat gymnastically inclined with a very good sense of balance, if you aren't, you will never get it, the bike on it's own can only do so much.

I disagree with you on this one. Proper instruction can increase the learning curve and safety factor by huge amounts.

Where to start on this one, first a safe controlled place to practice! Nobody wants someone learning sketchy fast stuff at the spot, so its hard to start out without finding your own stunt spot. We all know how hard that is.

The course starts out teaching people theory and progresses them up to riding. To help people get the feeling of balance point Felix sometimes will do a seatstander over top of them in the seated position.

Alot of new riders havent even seen someone rock a BP wheelie before, and you expect them to learn over the internet?

With proper instruction and guidance, students are going to have the confidence and knowledge to progress much faster.

Wheelie School FTW!
