okay so maybe we're both right !?!?!?! lets say you do need deceleration (a braking force) to endo just under BP... buton a hill that braking force if ofset by gravity pushing the weight of the bike down the hill... so as long as the force of gravity on the weight is greater than the force of friction from the brake then : Jobs a good en ?
okay I'm out of idea's now.... where's the realy clever people?

Yes to you needing to be on the brakes (even if only a small amount you will be on the brakes) to maintain a stoppie however because your going down a hill which has more gravitational force than pressure required on the brakes to maintain the stoppie. should = an endless stoppie (well till you run outa hill)
When I go out next I'm gettin it on camera gotta have a go at this....

1.me not being assed to dig up the math
2.Me not being assed to do the math
3.I have a 600RR and beer in the shed that I should be working on
So anyways something like ExM^~9.2s bla bla bla I dont realy care that much.

Re: E=MC2 for endos
they haven't
It's still stunt life... you know the site for people who love to stunt their bikes - but it seems... you don't have a bike, so maybe I'm wrong... Maybe it IS geeklife
I'll go get my big plastic glasses, break them, fix them with a plaster, strap some bio-chemistry books to my bike, then go stunt... can I still play on geeklife.com PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?
but we can theorise till the cows come home - it won't ever happen unless someone tries it

Re: E=MC2 for endos
O.K. my
I know I'm a bit late on this one but...
Balance point is balance point, see how Darius and others can balance the bike at a standstill, jump on an wheelie away? balance point is when the centre of mass (bike and rider) is directly over the contact patch, and forward momentum equals wind resistance. So whether you are doing an endo or wheelie, when you have true BP, the only thing slowing you down is frictional losses, so if you're rolling down a hill with an angle such that the vectored gravitational force is equal to the friction (including wind resistance), you will maintain velocity untill you realise what you're doing, **** yourself, and fall off.
now if only I could get it past 10o'clock....
