There are all kinds of rumors circulating about wheelie, which are primarily fueled by ignorance (inexperience) and secondarily by malice (envy).
1. Wheelie is harmful to the vehicle.
Off-road motorcycles are designed to take much more brutal abuse than unicycling. They can easily handle both clutch slippage and the front wheel coming back to the ground. (Our machines have nearly 500! operating hours and we haven't had to touch the clutch yet!)
2. Wheelie makes no sense.
In fact, wheelie is the most important off-road skill, it is the basis for many things, e.g. log hop, ditch hop, going through short puddles, muddy areas without the risk of slipping, performing hillclimbs more confidently, pivot turns.
3. Wheelie is dangerous.
It is not the wheelie in itself is dangerous, but if you do it in a place and at a time when it is dangerous (e.g. on a busy road, in a curve, in a crowd, etc.), however, if you practice it properly, it will develop your hand-foot coordination and you will become a much more confident rider wherever you go.
