Re: Stoppies???

i can't rock them w/ stock bars, but witha big bar kit and stock brakes and knobbies i'm hittin bout 70-75 ft.

i think the bars make it less scary , the stockers just aren't big enough for me to feel like i'm holding on very good

Re: Stoppies???

Well, not a 50, but rolled 100' today on the 70. Fun times. Havent eaten pavement on a high speed long endo, but nice high slow ones I have gone over twice..Just go full speed, throw your waste into it (like your fckin a cheap hooker) and kinda lean back once its up just let off till it feels like it's gunna drop back down the tighten up on the break a wee bit more..I dunno, hard to explain, but it's easy once you finally figure out what works, lol.

-Max.

EDIT: I weigh 150ish...

that's my exact technique

honestly though, i also haven't biffed it hard since i was doing real high up, slower 2nd gear stoppies, i've had some horribel headshake ( especially tonight ) but i come in as hot in 3rd as i can get in whatever parking lot, pick a parking space to start at and count them afterwards. i was only getting 6-7 stalls tonight. but the ones at that parking lot are 10ft. wide

Haha nice. I'm glad someone understood what I'm sayin. 'Tis all in da hips baby! hahah.

Oh, and I heard fiddys are much harder to endo, though you fiddy riders got the wheelies on lock. I guess that's the trade-off between the two bikes though.

Re: Stoppies???

my best on the stock 50 with street tires and big bars was about 70 then when i got the bigger motor i did 125. im pretty sure i could have went further but i crashed good and lost my nerve. i think im gonna go at it soon and try and hit 150 - 170.
