Thanks!...just what I was looking for..I'll go right for the 30 foot hands-freee drops now.

Get your mates to have a camera ready ',;~}~

Actually, I had someone video me and watching it helped me immeasurably. I discovered that I was
stuffing up my wheelie drops because I was trying too hard and bring the front wheel up too high. I
realised that I should relax a little more and take it easy.

Like everyone has said start small and your way up. Other than that the only problem will be sorting
out that point where you feel like you're going too fast for a wheelie but too slow to jump. I still
find that awkward.
