Isn't this a little too hard for a standard set? Unless there's a much easier method that I'm not seeing this really feels like it will require an insane amount of precision and luck, and I even managed to get a score of 61 on Kickstart, but this somehow feels more unfeasible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tip: use a bicycle like the BMX

Interesting, I didn't know it was possible with a BMX. When I have the time I'll try, thanks for the tip in advance.

Just got the achievement, it is indeed far easier with the BMX, thank you very much for the tip. For anyone wondering I did it with ease in the Los Santos airport (the one in Las Venturas probably works well too). Go there with a BMX, start on one end of the lane and just wheelie in a straight line until you are close to the end of the lane, than start turning while still keeping the analog back, trying to keep it somewhere in the middle between the direction you are turning and back (some practice may be required to get the sweet spot) until you are on a straight line again, this time going back the way you came. Also, while going on a straight line don't keep the analog back all the time as that will decrease your speed until the game decides that you aren't going fast enough for a valid wheelie. The way I managed straight lines was by keeping the analog all the way back for about a second after gaining speed for a brief moment at the start, then briefly releasing the analog for a moment as I noticed my speed starting to decrease, but not for too long so that the wheelie didn't end. If I noticed Carl's body starting to descend I imediately pulled back right away. Good luck for anyone who tries this, it's a little finicky, but with the right vehicle and area it can be made much easier than it seems.

Oh, a correction to what I wrote in my previous comment about turning when nearing the end of the lane. Everything I said still goes, but you should also use the handbrake while making the turn in order to turn tightly enough to avoid going out of the track. Don't use it during the entire turn, instead keep tapping the handbrake button with a certain rythm (once again some practice may be necessary) while paying attention to your speed and positioning so that you don't slow down too much while still managing to turn enough to end up on the opposite lane from the one you were before turning and once again going on a straight line.

Can easily be done in Los Santos airport with a BMX, when you are at a good amount of speed just do a wheelie and put your analogic to right or left while pressing X and CJ will stay in a infinite loop. Like this: https://youtu.be/HTFLaAoUa-s

Just get a BMX in front of the hospital, skate place, go to the airport and do this achievement easily. First try i got 1min34 sec. Pretty easy

With the BMX, hold Turbo X , do a wheelie and then hold the hand brake, it makes you do a very slow wheelie, I got 2 minutes easily

I got 1h:39m easily

BMX in Sewers could easily grind if you got patience for it some people did this for an hour that's Respect +

Not too difficult on the 'Freeway' motorcycle. Just hold back on the left stick fully, accelerate and pull a wheelie, and rapidly tap X just like you're sprinting. I did this on the LV ring road, the Freeway is good at self balancing.
