Not caused by being either drunk, or clumsy. Merely stupidity (admittedly though, potentially caused by drunken clumsiness)

I watched this a couple times and thought to myself "Hell, I've *jack-rabbited my bike a more than a few times, why the hell did he get so much air on a wheelie right away?"

Upon closer inspection, I realized he's sitting stupidly far back on his bike, and if you watch in full screen it becomes clear that he's actually sitting on his passenger seat. Meaning that his center of mass is located directly above his rear wheel, the one that gives the power. After that it just becomes simple pivot physics.

*jack-rabbiting, taking off very quickly from a dead stop.

Aye. Noticed he was sitting WAY too far back from the get go. What a knob

What I noticed is he looked at the cop car like, 12 times before douching it.
