Post Robbie McEwen's Finish Line Wheelies

I was looking all over for a clip of his latest, and our baby brothers at Team Hype posted one. Perfect! There's something about popping a wheelie on a road bike that impresses me. Doing it after 130 miles and whatever else... yeah, impressive cubed.

fun fact : i've been on a bicycle almost daily since the training wheels came off. 10 years or more of that time were spent on BMX bikes, mostly tricking around cities. and yet, i cannot wheelie. i can BARELY manual, in fact. (just in case : a manual is a coasting wheelie. you're not pedaling. you usually bunnyhop onto something and then manual across it.)
