Just imagine riding this at the local skate park and watch everyone’s head explode.

Mitch (author of balancing app in vesc) added a wheelie mode to vesc. I have not tried it yet, but I know it is coming

Think its merged or atleast started to get merged into the VESC official firmware already.
I have absolutly no clue of how to set it up tho 
You’d need a vesc with IMU on it obv.

It is merged into the VESC firmware. Any latest 4.x version has it.
But like @linsus mentioned, you need an ESC with the IMU parts populated, of which there are very few.
A @Trampa brand ESC will work.

there is/are some discussions about VESC balance and IMUs on this thread:
focus on @NuRxG replys… maybe he can come over and give us a qwik tutorial about enabling balance mode…

It’s there in the new VESC Tools as an “app”

understood… but how’s it operate? how do you set it up? I’d try it but I have zero VESCs with IMUs…
can I add an IMU as a breakout board?
???
too much science for me…

Thats how he did it as the original solution, so def. possible.

yeah I’m still waiting for the hardware outlined in this thread to get wheelie/manual mode working…

Let me head off some confusion, there are 2 different implementations.
Alex writes his own code that runs on external hardware and controls a VESC with PWM signals.
I wrote very similar code but mine is part of the VESC firmware. So if you have a VESC with an internal IMU (trampa 6+/mk3/mk4, CheapFocer V2, stormcore, etc) you don’t need any additional hardware. If you don’t have an onboard IMU, you can add one, but it uses the same pins as bluetooth module, so for “wheelie” builds you’ll have to put the bluetooth module on the slave VESC. VESC firmware currently supports mpu6050/mpu9050/bmi160/icm20948 imu modules.
A great feature alex’s code has that mine does not, is the ability to toggle wheelie mode with the remote. Currently on the VESC there is no way to switch apps other than going into settings and changing it. Not the end of the world, but my code was intended for self balancing vehicles, and skateboards is a more recent bonus feature. Toggling may may come in the future, or it may not, no promises.
For a setup guide the best i can offer is…

I’ve been planning on making a new setup video for a while now, but I want to finish this IMU wizard I’m working on.
Also i recommend using the latest beta builds over the previous release for some bug fixes.

Toggling wheelie mode with the second PWM (“PPM”) channel would be ideal. Like the wheel on the Mini Remote, turn it backwards 3 times to toggle app mode
