Unicycle is fifty metres on the rear wheel. Bike-control family, 5.1 percent globally, the same percentage as the hidden First Diamond! icon and a very different kind of task. The distance is continuous enough that a tiny wheelie over one crest will not do it. You need a straight, or a series of bumps you can keep the front wheel off through.

The Compound is again the classroom. Free roam gives you the space without a 20-rider gate behind you. A start straight on a named track also works if you would rather have a finish banner in the background. Loket's hard-pack is more predictable than Riola Sardo's sand, where the rear wheel digs and the wheelie dies. Volcanic soil at Bariloche is its own grip. Pick the surface after you can hold the wheelie on the yard, not before.

Cheat!, the low scrub and the falling finish are the neighbours. A wheelie that wanders off the track can become the penalty icon instead of this one. The one-metre scrub is a sideways shape. This is a forwards balance. Superman, crossing the line while falling, is what happens if the wheelie lasts too long and the landing does not. Fifty metres is far enough to practice the touchdown before you take it into a race.

Assists that hold the bike upright will hide the skill and may also change whether the game treats the wheelie as yours. Hotshot, a race with no assist, is the strict version of riding, and it does not ask for a wheelie. Learn the fifty metres with whatever help you need, then decide whether the same balance survives with the help off. Manual weight, once stand and sit is enabled, is the control that actually lengthens or shortens the wheelie. The four AI levels never see it if you do the drill in free roam.
