Re: Limited Approach Stoppies
Hi. I'm really obsessed with stoppies. I don't know why. But i've been practicing limited approach and man is it fun. The progress really increases alot that way too. I have "heard" you should be able to double your approach. 150/300 club ya know? But my problem with that is all bikes vary. engine performance, sprocket ratios, tire pressure, brakes, road surface, and wind also vary with 2 same model bikes. My other thing I wanted to discuss is little tricks and teqniques that come into play. Like if you fry your clutch off the line and mash the gas all the way up until the marker you get alot more speed to work with, but at the cost of having to rush launching the stoppie and it can be unpredictable as well as make the tire wash out. But if you get off the gas 15 feet before the marker, then you can have a split second of time you need to get your body position ready and get slightly on the brakes to let the nose sink, and then launch it properly and it results in a much smoother and more controlled stoppie. Not really sure what my question is, just wanna discuss the **** out of limited approach stoppies and for some of the high rollers to chime in. Thanks.
Another thing is keeping ur visor down while rolling. It blocks out wind and sound and allows u to focus more. Hearing the sound of ur brakes pulse is very important while up in the air believe it or not.
AM STOPPIE SCHOOL FOR LIFE
i try and get as much speed as i can get and try to go as high as possible as fast as i dare.just not in 1 fast ,motion to bp. i'll snap it up high and then get that extra height about a second later. that way i can easily double my approach. and, being smoooooth on the brake, not going updownupdownupdown just to take a high stoppie picture like some folks do...

Re: Limited Approach Stoppies
pinit till you ****** it, then grab so much brake that you coast for the first bit...maintain bp and you double your distance.
even the f800 can do it!
the faster you pick it up the less speed you scrub...it's all one motion really:coming off throttle and snapping it up

Thats the way to do it.... Use every last bit of runway that you can...
And lots of practice!

Re: Limited Approach Stoppies
replicating the same thing over and over is the key...thats why you use lim approach. minimize the inputs (humping tank, preloading, etc) and you will only have a few thigns to concentrate on: grabbing brake, steering, height, etc.
but like dlish said practice practice practice...and hyper: if you can't control the stoppie in a straight line, learn that first.
post up some vid, i'm bored

Re: Limited Approach Stoppies
This was my third day doing stoppies ever at a 150 foot approach. Long before I got the 636.
