Clutching up was their preferred method but they reckon it's easier to learn the basics by powering it up.
Anyway, regardless of how you go about it, kids on the street love it when you do wheelies past them.
The reason they teach you to power wheelie before clutch up, is so you learn how much to back off. From a power wheelie the front rises at a slower rate than a clutch up, and is therefore easier to catch (stop flipping). Once you've learned to sustain lift over a prolonged distance, then clutch up will be more controlable.
