Re: stoppie/endo
i cant do it...cant even catch bp right now...but to answer your question, they let the bike get a little past balance point so they have to either tap the brake(slowing it down) or loop it/hit the bar.

Re: stoppie/endo
Im a newb by these guys standards, but i started out doing the same thing. U just need to train your mind to always hit the back brake when you feel like your getting 2 high. I would just hit the back brake when I wanted to set it down even if I wasnt very high, it got my mind into the habit of using it.

Re: stoppie/endo
your not high at all if your only rollin 3 feet lol go at a faster speed to learn.....not 100 try a decent speed in 2nd gear. BUY A STABILIZER!!!!!!!
work on em at your own pace.....stoppies can seriously hurt or cripple you. wear a back protector to!!
as for rolling them, there is a balance point on the front wheel. when I am rolling im floating them alot, which means im not on the brake. takes alot of practice and knowing your bike like the back of your hand

Re: stoppie/endo
when you CLUTCH up the wheelie make sure the bike is almost at a stop clutch it up at like 5mph and it will come up real quick and smooth then grab the break. what size sprocket do you have on that thing?

Re: stoppie/endo
no doubt, thats what i'm working on.... i put my idle at 3k and it works better for me... otherwise i'm going like 10 miles an hour and i have to krank it to like 10 11 k to get it up high enough and its kinda scary with my 6 inch can its loud as ****. and 1 of my last wheelies came up so fast my left hand rolled off the bar and the left one almost 2 and that was using one finger to clutch. comes up smoother with less throttle when i turn it to 3
whats up eric?

Re: stoppie/endo
progression my friend. If you cant buy a stabilizer, lower the front tire pressure to help stabliize the bike. and widen your clip ons too. you'll start to gain distance once you get more comfortable bringing it up at higher speeds. you dont need to go past 2nd gear for now and 1st gear should be plenty right now. Good luck. Stoppies are way more fun the wheelies. Or at least from what i remember lol it's been awhile since I've done them. Have fun

Re: stoppie/endo

that spots looks sick tho.. as from all the tire skids id say its pretty popular spot.
as for the stoppies just stick to first gear really no need to mess with second until you have a stabilizer other wise that *** end is gonna swing around on you and get u in all sorts of tank slapping. and for the bp rear brake lol once u go over the back once you will learn fast y relying on engine brake just isn't the best idea. I to ride alone for the most part, i know theres a large amount of stunners in JAX i just havent gotten around to meeting them i guess. gnna have to chck the ups spot out.
