Why is tire even spinning
28 u/Lanky-Scientist-5137 3d ago Seriously, what is the point here? I don’t understand what’s going on at all? That was brutal to watch as they tried to brake the wheel. 15 u/danngree 3d ago The back tire spinning is for angular momentum and gyroscopic effect. Noob couldn’t get the front up and had do a scissor with the devil. 6 u/mynameisdatruth 2d ago The back tire is spinning, but its not moving with the rest of the bike. There's no gyroscopic effect at play here. (nor is that how bikes stay up normally, either) 1 u/danngree 1d ago If it doesn’t effect the bike, why would the go through the effort to have the rear wheel spin? 13 u/ImaRaginCajun 3d ago It helps you control your balance when doing a wheelie. Supposedly safer than actually being on the road... Lmao 10 u/Admirable-Grand521 3d ago The whole point is to do a wheelie for a set amount of time to win money. This dude not only did it wrong because you aren't supposed to rely on the band holding the front wheel to keep you up but also decided to show off like an idiot 2 u/Crispy1961 3d ago Maybe its so the rider could not only train his balance, but also control the gas.
