Ever wonder when you see an old trick and or a old trick with a new spin which trick is better executed. One that i have been contemplating is a simple hi-chair stoppie. Most of us do a hi-chair stoppie sitting on the tank using one foot to brace ourself on the upper stay. but if you look at the old school riders they would actually sit on the upper. I'll use a old photo of dan jackson and a new photo of Colton... so I'm wondering which one do you think is better? they are both cool ways to do them but what appeals to you and who still does it the old way? I know Rick Payne use to roll a few hundred feet on hi-chair.


OG WAY



New School

 

I never thought about bracing against the fairing stay (OG way). The longest ones I've seen rolled are that way. The new school way I see people doin em in 180's.

Either way, I can't do em.. I'd end up blowing out my shoulders and falling over the front.

 

Dirt School

 

Photoshop!! That or you're wearing a seatbelt

 

I'm old scool...



But I think the main difference is whether you have your front windscreen and upper cut down so that you can tuck through in other tricks

 

one of our buddies down in calgary has a little step plate on the front of the bike for it. Gaaay haha.

 

I like the OG way better. No one had them better than this man right here.

 

+1 OG all the way...

aaron can do it on a streetfighter?

 

anyone doin em with out a upper?

im rockn the SF....

havent made an attempt yet

 

i remember seeing a video of vinnny risk rollin liker 400ft highchair endos the OG style....def an impressive video

 

Another OG pic. Even though the rider is a bit on the homo side.(only cause I know he'll see this but wont ever reply)

 

ya thats a sick clip... its on JD3 extras

 

i did them on my f4i....streetfighter with vortex clipons.

 

Its not a question of OG vs New Style it is the fact that peoples dents are alot farther back now and thats where they are use to sitting.

 

thats a good point

 

OG ALL THE WAY!!!!

The New style is just a different stoppie like a one hander, a scorpion, a spreader ect.....

 

wtf is a scorpion?

 

Hold on I was actually waiting for that!!!!

I,ll try to find a pic! Here kinda dark but the right foot over the windscreen and left aganist the upper!!!! Mabee I got the name wrong but it looks like a scorpion!!!LOL

 

just depends on height and what you're doing as you land imo...

 

If i go for distance I do OG highchair because it makes me feel like i'm one with the bike like a normal stoppie but now that I am doing HC 180's and what not I cant get the same control with the old school way as I can with my foot on the upper. Again I think that it all comes down to a persons riding style.

BTW: Kane was actually the first one that I saw using his foot as a brace to do Highchair stoppies. Just a fun fact for everyone.
