How to unlock the Wheelie King achievement in MX vs. ATV Reflex - Definitive Guide

Get on the crappiest MX Lite you have, you don't want too much speed here. I used the default Blaze 250.

Go somewhere with a lot of space that's flat. Reyes AZ is a good one. Once you're aimed at the wide open space, hit Y to set your marker so you can just jump back to it with B *when* you screw up.

Set the user camera to a side-on view, a bit like in Trials HD.

Accelerate, and once you've moving, pull back on the right stick. Keep holding back on the right stick and on the accelerator, and GENTLY tap the brake to stop yourself tilting back too far. Only the slightest touch otherwise you'll plant the front wheel back down.

It might take a few attempts.

I just used this and got it first time, turning the camera to the side is really helpful, Use the D-pad left/right buttons to do this

Go somewhere with lots of flat space. Reyes AZ is a good place. (Just like Suicide Perkies said). You aren't really required to have a slow bike here. You can try different types of bikes like the fast and slow ones I mentioned to see which one works for you. When you begin, go forward, and turn a tiny bit to the left from the spawn point. Keep going until you hit some very dry sand. This is a good starting point. If you turn back around, you'll see a trail leading up a hill. Set a checkpoint where you are and ride to this point when you do the wheelie. You'll have plenty of flat space. For the wheelie, you need to find the perfect balancing point. Tapping the brake is okay, if you're comfortable with it, but if you do it too much, it ends the wheelie. You can experiment with methods from different guides to see what works the best for you and your bike. One thing you can try is to change the angle of the user camera so that you're looking at yourself from the side. Credit goes to Suicide Perkies for this method. This will make it look like you're playing Trials HD. This can make the wheelie much easier for you since you can see your exact angle. I found that when my rider leaned back far enough, there was a point where his angle stayed steady much more easily. This is the critical point of balance you're looking for. It takes a few tries to get a feel for it. This critical point will only last for a small amount of time. However, 150 ft. isn't that long. It's just twice the stoppie distance required to get the Stoppie Master achievement. With a reasonable bike, your wheelie's length may easily exceed 150 ft. After a few tries, you'll get it. It depends on a variety of factors.

Find a long, flat location to try for this trophy. I chose Reyes, AZ in free-ride mode to get it. The section you’re presented with as soon as you get dropped off is the perfect place to try this. It can be very difficult to get the balance right between analogue stick and acceleration. Before you start keep pressing select until you get to ‘User Camera’. With this you can use the D-Pad to change the angle of the camera and set it up in a way that you can see half of the road ahead and still see where you’re front wheel is. First get a little bit of speed going, because you’ll find it gets really annoying if you pull the wheelie from a stop and constantly fall off. Just keep on practising and you will soon get the balance right between acceleration and brake to keep it going for 150 feet.
