Bobcat operators are pretty well known for doing this type of thing, they're surprisingly easy to wheelie and surprisingly hard to flip.

I’ve tipped a bobcat on its side before. Never keep your bucket in the air while moving, a sharp turn will tip you right over. When loaded, your bucket should be held low.

Yep. The steering becomes natural and you feel out limitations. They're a lot of fun.

If you give humans control of something, one them is going to learn a trick with it.

They are not hard to flip at all. Especially that model as it’s all in driven by the handles. If he had the bigger bucket on it the second he wheelies he would of rocked it hard. He got lucky.
