It might look like a standard stunt these days, but with a stretched swingarm, 240 tire and stock gearing a custom bike is extremely hard to get on the back wheel. The bowling shoes hurt the overall score.

Poor John has struggled over the years since entering the Grand Prix ranks. While he hasn't had a lot of chances to celebrate, he makes them count. An impeccable standup wheelie on a million dollar racebike is undeniably pretty cool.

At Cadwell Park, Johnny styles up a one-hander while flying over the infamous Mountain jump. Only the proper fast guys can get both wheels off the ground; only the insane do it leaned over while waving to the crowd.

Jumping from a combo into a "highchair" wheelie is something only the most technical (and flexible) riders can pull off. The dirty socks and sneakers hurt in the Style department however.

If only Steve had left his winter skiing jacket in the closet and grabbed something more appropriate he might have taken the overall win with his "no front end" wheelie. Imagine the consequences of dropping the front by accident. Add in the wet pavement and Steve shows why he's a top rider.

Scorecard:
Difficulty: 10
Execution: 10
Style: 7
Total: 27
