What is a front wheelie called?

a "nose wheelie."

A nose wheelie, also known as a front wheelie, is a type of motorcycle stunt in which the rider lifts the front wheel of the bike off the ground and balances on the back wheel alone. This technique is commonly used by stunt riders and can be performed on various types of motorcycles, including sport bikes, cruisers, and dirt bikes.

To execute a nose wheelie, the rider must first gain enough speed and control to lift the front wheel off the ground. The rider typically pulls back on the handlebars while shifting their weight forward to shift the balance toward the back wheel. Once the front wheel is off the ground, the rider uses small adjustments in their body position and throttle control to maintain their balance and continue rolling along on the rear wheel.

While nose wheelies can be impressive and fun to watch, they can also be dangerous if attempted by inexperienced riders or performed in unsafe conditions. To minimize the risk of injury, riders should always wear proper protective gear and practice their stunts in a controlled environment under the guidance of an experienced instructor.
