A wheelie is driving a motorcycle or a bike on only the back wheel for either a short distance or, in this case, 400 yards. You have to maneuver the bike so that you lift the front wheel up off of the ground. You are propelled forward by the rotation of the back wheel. That would be my guess in this context.

CLICK HERE to see someone doing a wheelie.

In a 400-yard-wheelie he would travel 400 yards like that (somewhat less than 400 metres).
