been riding 2 years and i still can't ride out a wheelie, just bring it up and after a few yards i lose the balls to keep it going... but i have very little desire to and dont try often... i know some people that within 2 months of riding can do 2nd-4th gear stand ups for almost as long as they want... but i'd say a year or two is a good amount of riding to start trying stuff, i know i feel so much more comfortable doing my pathetic "wheelies" now than i did last year
