Guinness World Records officials attended the attempt and will report whether it is a record in a few weeks.

Would it be poor form to bang out a 9 mile before to snatch the win ?

isnt a full sus more forgiving for wheelies?

yes your body movements don't upset the balance point as much when there's a bit of cushion between you and the rear wheel .

Edwin has good manual ( wheelie without pedaling ) technique .
