When I was learning I used to go a little faST so the bike doesnt lean. When you get comfortable then slow it down. ALWAYS I repeat ALWAYS keep your foot on the BRAKE or you will end up on your ***. 2nd gear is the best for me. 3rd is alot of fun too.

stoppies

The way I do it is you go fast, top of 2nd gear, then grab the front brake hard. You want the back to come up as fast as possible to the sweet spot so you dont lose speed. After it comes up you release the brake a little and roll it out. Be sure to use gloves, my friend ate **** doing it that way. You just gotta try it and get used to the feeling. USE GLOVES because it sucks trying to wipe your *** with road rash.

how do you gradually work up to them? I can get the back end up, but when I feather out the brake it just falls flat on it's face.. Im not doing it top of second, yet, either..

What do u mean by " falls flat on its face"? The back comes down? or the bike goes over??

sorry, the back comes down.. pretty much as soon as I feather the brake the rear end drops like a ton of bricks.. I will get videos when I get my fiddy back (damn parents)! Im buying a pro circuit pipe this week


PS: I need a skidplate! I would like to get a shock spring as well.. Anyone know a good place to check out?

you gotta go fast to do rolling stoppies. The front brake sucks. As far as working up to it, you gotta pratice and pratice and crash to learn. Try rolling slowly down a steap grassy hill while grabing your front brake. After awile you will find the balancing point. Then try rolling the stoppie out down the hill. Now try to find it on the street. I dident learn this way but it should work. good luck.
I got my skid plate and springs from www.fast50s.com .
