But if you're not going super slow there is really no need to wheelie drop. If you get most your weight over the rear wheel and pull up a bit on the handle bars it amazing how slow you can drop without giving a pedal kick. After I learned how to do this I rarely find a need to wheelie drop. Basically the only times I'll wheelie drop now is when falling off the side of a log ride or if I'm track standing a few feet away from a take off.

Maybe I'm just weak, or it's my bike setup, but I have a hard time pulling my front wheel up without using some sort of wheel kick. I could probably manual enough to keep the front from dropping in that sort of situation though.

Get your ass off the seat and try.
