Wheelies

[Kieran Murphy]

If you want to do REALLY long wheelies, just take a Sanchez to the airport area with the three runways. Because you can do wheelies really slow with the Sanchez and turn it pretty easily, you can just go round and round and round and round and round and round the area for as long as you want. Until you get bored or your thumb starts to numb.

My best so far is 666 seconds and just under 10,000m.

And on that note I want to ask, my version of Vice City gives all wheelie/stunt/stoppie etc. distances in metres. Does the American version give them in feet?

Oh. Ok. It's just that 5000seconds is like 83minute wheelie.

I dont blame you guys for not beleiving me. I once knew a guy who did the longest dodo flight in history. It was 68 hours or something like that. I can fly em for about 4 seconds, then I crash

Arghh. I don't get it. How do I do a wheelie??

 

[Shraz]

To do a wheelie, just go at a decent speed on a bike and hold the down button. As you hold it you go higher and higher, but let go every once in a while or you'll flip over backwards

Seriously, get thee a dirtbike and go to the airport.

Plenty of open space there for practising wheelies. Just pull back on the joystick and have at you. Dirtbikes are great for wheelies because you only have to tap the X button every so often to keep your end up.

Fnarr fnarr.

he could do that, but it doesnt give you any skill. The dirt bike wheelie-glitch sucks...well, it does to me. I used a Faggio at the stadium to get my 5000 second wheelie, and all these people are getting beter scores because they sit around tapping a button and dont even try. I think if you go for a wheelie record, do it the non-cheating way.
...and thats my two cents.
