I have to agree with Cigaro here. A one handed wheely = WOW boyz? Mmmno.

for crying out loud...
he's talking about the broadcast!
during the broadcast they show a few short clips of opening ceremonies and in one of the clips canard is letting his hand drag behind him in the same fashion as the wheelie boyz or whatever they call themselves...
can you get that through your skull?

I watched the clip and I'm suppose to think that when a guy has one arm off the bike to his side doing a wheelie it's suppose to be the wheelie boyz? Chill out dude, they were doing one handed wheelies before the wheelieboyz were on the internet. But in your case I'll make sure every time I see someone doing a wheelie with one arm down I'll think wheelie boyz just for your sake.

Who says I'm bitter? I'm just not one of those types that see someone do a variation of a wheelie and automatically think the Wheelieboyz patented it and everyone is copying their style. Hell back in the 80's I seen dudes crack a beer open and drink it while doing a wheelie.

someone said it was an ode to his father.

No one touches Doug Domokos. R.I.P. not even the WOWBoyz.

In the 80s, at SX, he would come out during intermission and wheelie the entire supercross track, start to finish. He wheelied so long, he had to have his carb tilted so his bike didnt stall, and a small engine in his front brake caliper to spin his front wheel for the gyroscopic effect (hard to wheelie when your front wheel isnt spinning)

Yep ,Doug was a bad ass!
Also probably one of the nicest guys in the sport ever.
I met him up at Washougal I think in 1980...the first year they had a national there.
I was just a little kid and talked his ear off. lol
I was bummed out when I heard at A1 back in 2001 that he had recently passed in a plane crash.
Was cool to see them pay tribute to him that night though....and fire up his bike one last time.

At the next race, Canard is going to mock the WOWclowns by stealing Dungey's bike and doing one-handed wheelies with a ball cap on sideways.

I had the pleasure of watching him wheelie the entire track at the 1983 Toronto Supercross.

He wheelied around the roof of the Empire State building on the ledge.

Like to see a clapped out KX250F with a ground off VIN do that. Those boys have some talent, but it is so incredibly misguided it is not even a laughing matter. Sad.

Last year I know Trey said that he did the stand on the seat wheelie for his dad. He said that his dad used to do it all the time. I reallydon't think he's mocking anyone. Treys 41 also is in honor of his dad also whos number was 41. Dont know if you know this but he ised to have a picture of his dad taped to the inside of his chest protector to.

Did I hear that announcer call the whoops "stutter-bumps"??? Grinning Grinning Grinning

Would love to hear Emig throw that one out during the next broadcast!!! "Here we see Stewart doing the huck-a-buck in the stutter-bumps..." Woohoo

Would be a classic!

most people who are called wrong go back and check what the original topic is about and then check to see if their comment was correct before going on further. I guess you don't fall into the "most people" category. Trying to defend your assumptions is entertaining.

trey totally did wheelie boy arm swinging wheelie at the intro. taking one frame from it is the picture that is posted with his hand at the top of the swing.... drawing similarities of that to be tipping his oklahoma cowboy hat is so out in left field its great to watch you make 10 posts after it defending it.

thank you.... i don't know why people feel the need to "pick apart" every detail and argue over it...
okay, so maybe "mock" wasn't the best word for the original poster to use... but like j100 said, to deny that what he did wasn't "extremely similar" to what we are seeing from the wheelie boyz is ridiculous...
it's really not that big of deal...sheeze

Lulz... As far as I'm concerned, it's the only way to do a wheelie from here on out. I'm just waiting for warm enough weather to go practice it. Hilarity Hilary.

Is it at the beginning of the broadcast when Ricky/Ralph/Jeff are just talking and you can see the big screen behind their heads? Or is it after the first Lites heat race? That was all the farther I watched...

Let me break it down for you so you can comprehend it. I could care less if I'm right or wrong or if he was mocking/imitating the wheelie boyz or if he was doing a wheelie while throwing feces in the crowd. I'm just not one of those people that see someone doing a one handed wheelie as violating the Baltimore boys copyright. Some get the impression as if they invented that shit.

I don’t give a shit what you call it: Mock, Imitate, Copy, Make Fun of, Tease, blah, blah, blah. Synonyms of Mock are: Pretend, Imitate, Fake, Simulate – all of those are an accurate depiction of what Canard was doing. Again, I don’t understand the fucking pussies all ruffled by the word mock. IMO Acknowledge is going a bit far, I doubt Canard has any respect or admiration for those Degenerate Attention Whores. I have no doubt what Canard was doing (and sounds like others that were actually there don’t either) & as I said IMO the funniest part of the night. Canard has been the jokester on the circuit so far, the drinking hard alcohol comment was just as funny.

Watching arm chair quarterbacks that weren’t there take a still photo & try to come across as an expert on Canards actions is laughable at best, but really just plain sad.

i've seen a lot of wheelies in my lifetime. the way the wheelie boyz do their wheelies...is pretty signature. not original...but definitely signature.

I admire your ability to grasp at straws to stretch your point across...its failing.


Kudos to trey, can't wait to see what he does this week.

Yes! The wheelie boyz invented or signatured every variation of the wheelie on the streets of Baltimore. Their the best thing since sliced bread.

Fuck, man, does it matter this much? Besides, those "wheelie boyz" are just a bunch of city jerks disrespecting the law, safety of those around them, and acting like a bunch of attention whores.


Dumbgeon this fucking thread...please. Better yet, just delete it. It doesn't even deserve the Dumbgeon.
