As for the figure-8 wheelies, I saw those in a german stunt-festival film. Einefetza has the clip I believe.

The movies called "Streetfighterday 2002".
A great film by the way. So it´s been done but not perfected.

Ant has it, but he is starting in the middle of the "8" and looping right first. Still counts though right. He got another euro goody on lock too. I will try to get video this week. Maybe we can see how many figure 8's someone can do. Ant has one so far...Pat has done one before, but I am sure there are others..
2 WHEELS UP!

I don't see how 360 stoppies will be possible unless you have a powered front wheel. All your momentum is in one direction at a high rate of speed... it's inertia. The reason you can turn them 180* is because the inertia of the rear wheel is still going forward.
Circles wheeles, on the other hand, are different. Very low speed WITH the ability to change directions while applying direction power.

yep thats what they said about back flips im fmx "no way not possible" and um pretty much every trick u see these guys doin on these 500 pound bikes and doin iit with ease............is a ho handed endo possible??????? if u dont think so check out dan jackson, im not reponding to yer post in a hostile way so i hope u dont take it that way all im sayin is the worst thing u can do is underestimate the guys who are workin every day to raise the bar in this sport, cuz i have seen first hand these guys break the laws of physics like they were a set of trafffic laws!

i think the "360 endo" is gonna be more of a circle endo....
basically i can see it as "a circle wheelie on the front tire" not qutie as tight of circles though....
but on the 180 endo's the momentum of the tail carries it around....
what if you were to get to the balance point, then change the momentum by by leaning...
if yer good you can change the momentum and keep the bike from drifting to the side
the big problem i can think of would be keeping enough speed to stay up but going slow enough to turn...
i may be way off, but we'll see how it's done when it happens...
