Re: tire pressure for stoppies?
For what? O's or straight slow wheelies? If your just starting and your hitting the lot for slow wheelies then low 7lbs to 15lbs...But if your on the street more is better...The lower you go the more wooble you will get....So you will want more than 25lbs...Just my 
....Oh yeah and for O's I was told the more the better...Helps the bike dive in.

yeah dude if you are doing wheelies DO NOT let your front tire get low... you will bent wheels like crazy! and they will eventually stop beading after a lot of hammer usage

Re: tire pressure for stoppies?
To learn u prob wanna run lower pressure... Around 20 or so. Helps with the bike Tracking straight. Also provides more patch on the ground to help on the inital pickup, allowing u to focus on getting it to height quicker. Once u take all the other equations out like traction,Steering, and tankslap u can focus on height. Babysteps young grasshopper... I run 35 cold in mine. But then again Im a certified nose coaster specialist
