Other than my near incident in third off the crest of a hill, nope, but I lofted both wheels a couple of feet high today off of my favorite bridge jump. Would have cleared the bridge completely if there wasn't traffic coming across

I flipped a DT200 once trying to be a smartarse and showing off. It all happened so fast I couldnt even explain where I went wrong - wrong bike, wrong road (uphill). It crashed surprisingly well, enough to get it home anyway.
i can only remember one guy on here who really flipped his, cannot remember who though.

Superdukes can't be flipped over by a wheelie!

You'll have to pull the wheelie that high, that in that case you have no idea what you are doing. You can pull a SD realy high before you get the feeling of tipping it over.

Tricks are for kids!

Yes, it was Big Toby!
My motivation for this post comes from the amount of time spent on wheelie talk. I thought that if people could see just how unlikely the possibility, time from freakout and over the back, suddenly moves at a differant pace than the time it takes to get the wheel up to its happy spot. Is simply not the case. There is loads of time to correct such behavior. Wheelies, warp time. The "oh shit" pause in throttle pull has already caused the front end to an oppisite path. You are just as likely to be able to say "oh shit" three times while still yanking back on the twist grip before you need to quiet the yanking and set it into nuetral throttle. Try it, three "oh shits" prior to doing anything. We will call the fourth "oh shit" the big toby.

I flipped a trials bike about 6 times in the same day doing wheelies once. Havent ridden one since or I would probably still be doing it.

As mentioned though. Big Toby is the Bautista of this forum with his superduke wrecking wheelie.

At the other end of the stunt show is Klinck with his stoppie on an Akro trick that I dont think he will be doing again.
