Re: stoppies

use your arms to help, its laot eaier useing alittle bounce to ge the wheel up and light brake along with locking your elbows all at the same time. i found it alot easier to push my bike to stoppie BP then to use a grip of brakes real quick.

Re: stoppies

I started marking my distance, but I noticed if I pay attention to the mark I will usually roll right to it. If I pick a point waaaayyy out infront of me I seem to have better luck.

Make sure you have a rock solid steering stabilizer - it will help a ton! I stuck a gpr on my bike and it added about 100' to my distance.

Also, loop a couple.... it'll teach you respect for the endoz!

i now respect the endos after braking my arm.

but it was sweet i was like damn im rolling this out far.

then i was like **** when i hit i HAVE TO ROLL i didnt want the bike coming on me
