when i do endos i can not ride for a long time. the breaks just stop the bike after like 5-10 feet. is there any tips to riding endos longer.

thanks

 

1) Practice. Do it all the time. Over time, you'll become more confident and start to go faster. 2) speed. Get going fast and learn how to "bounce" it up. bouncing it up is when you pop it forward in a sense to try to make the back end come up more. 3) once the back end is up, just tap the front brake. You will learn how to get a feel for it so that when you feel the back end start to come down, you pull the brake a little harder and when it starts to come up too much, you release it a little. Just take it slow, once you start rolling more, it will come fast. Hope this was some help.

 

go to the nearest car park, and use the lines on the floor to help you set your self a limit say 3 lines build up speed and on the forth endo, this way you can only build up so much speed so it helps you improve the technique in the endo to make you go further.... use the techniques what venom600 said above

 

Try to make ur head go over the bars so your leaning foreward and keep ur back/hands streight... get as high as possible so it feels like ur gonna flip over the bars any min... i'll be kinda scary the first 10 tries... go slow and get to that point where ur bout to flip do it a few times then go faster and faster and ul get more and more confourtable with it.

Thats an OLD *** pic but its a highchair stoppie ... u just get a feel of how high to get em it looks like im gonan flip it but if i did go any higher i prolly would... but u get confourtable and u never flip em once u get em ... but i guess its all practise ... i hope this helps u

 

my bike has disk brakes and it seems the are grabing to much. should i losen them up so they will not completly lock.

 

dunno i cant do sh** with disc breakes ... i guess its how ur use to it... all practise

You defanantly need to adjust them if they feel they are locking up. You're never going to roll very far if the brakes grab very well. I mean, I guess you could learn but its easier to adjust them how you like them.

 

ive allwasy used disc breaks. im running hydro discs and i can go 70 foot easy from what i hear. v brakes are way better for stoppies

 

as long as the stoppie is high .... it doesnt really matter what type of breakes you have...

 

Yeah. You guys have seen how long of endos i can do on my old bike. But on my new one the front shocks are so soft. It makes it harder to do them for as long as i used to. any ideas besides buying a new fork? Also on my new bike i have front disc breaks and when i am doing a stoppie i like get off the break and it sticks for about 2 seconds sometimes causing me to loop it.

 

hey post some vids ....
