i know i suck.. but any body have tips? this is only my second day practicing endos... i tried squeezing the brake lever harder to bring it up quicker but every time i try to bring it right up my tire skids.. tried many times with the same result...

oh.. haha check out the 3rd clip.. my buddie catches a mean ball tap hahahahahahaha

 

thaT my friend was ugly... but mine arent much better lol

 

Now I know what my stoppies look like. I think mine might be a little longer now after 7 years but there not very good. It seems we need to go at least twice as fast and much higher on initial braking

you must first compress the forks, then give more pressure to lift if you are skidding

 

Yep... They definatly suck haha... I just got a steering stabilizer... My 2nd day ever attempting endos.. Haha i am such a squid... Atleast i kno it tho haha

 

The quality of your video sucked worse than your stoppies ha ha

 

my tire skids so much too, that **** dont even scare me no more,you need to jump higher i get up all the way and just sit back down real fast,seems like they are eazyer to get up when ur fater,one thing am not

 

i cant do stoppies for **** but my only advice is dont do them in random spots all over the lot.. set up a start point and see how far you progress each time

 

your only going like 15 to 20 mph take it up to at least 35-40

 

^^ what he said...it's easier to dose...

 

not bad for the speed ur going .....but yeah little more speed and try jumpin up right when u press the brake and then sit back down ...it helps take of the weight from the back.

 

Take it from the expert.

 

Get a bit more speed and just before you pull the brake, bounce on the seat and load up the rear shock, then as the shock springs back up you hit the brake and it gives you a bit more lift and might stop the tyre skidding.

Also grip the tank with your knee's and lock your arms more, and when you start carring the stoppies longer you can then control the bike and stop it flicking to the sides.

Just practice as much as you can, and get a bit more speed

 

+1 and put all your weight on the clip ons so the triple is supporting you, and dont stare at the concrete look at forward to where your headed

 

bullshit. 2nd day of trying endo's you are off on a good start! just keep practicing, take a lil more runway/speed. get a good sport-tire and warm it up.. keep those arms locked and brakefingers smooth.. i'm on my 3rd day of trying endo's now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCI7N-VKVTc

 

the way i do it is accelerate, so it unloads the front and loads the rear. as i let off the gas, use the loading motion of the front end as a way to start the rear unloading, and transfer weight, basically as soon as you start to pull in the clutch, also be grabbing some brake and transferring your body weight. keep your arms straight and look ahead, not down. looking down=flip.

 

third day my ***

 

ya think?

 

Maybe 4th or 5th, you can tell cuz they are ****

not even close to balance point

 

thanks for the advice guys.. i know they look like ****.. no need to take it easy on me haha.. i am going to try all the tips out when it stops raining.. i'll be recording all the time so if i get a nice crash you guys will be the first to see

 

Awesome ha ha
