Re: stoppie/endo
dude... your chasing them... take onewheelneals advice that he gave the old dude... you need to get a bar on your bike and just clutch it up from a dead stop to the bar to park it... and figure out where your bar is so your not so scared to clutch it up higher... ur camera is on top of your helmet and from the looks of it your are trying to do sitdowns... try doing staggered wheelies... or just go buy a pit bike and practice on that... im not being a hater but from the looks of it your bike is minty and your really gonna f*** that thing up if you come down off a pow pow and accidentally grab a handful of throttle and loop your ****... ive seen it many many times and dudes get pissed cuz their bike gets trashed... even with that cage n subcage on there your bike will take a beating.... but good luck and continue to wear as much gear as possible

Also, BP on the 6 is pretty tall man. Practice using the rear brake for sitting the front end back down, and get used to that. Then like others have said get used to bringing it up and catching the bike with the brake to slow them down more.(I'm still working on that myself) Once you get comfortable enough you can really focus and pay attention to the front wheel and forks(at least that's what I do) while you are covering the clutch(encase you go too far), covering the rear brake, and being smooth on/off the throttle. I look for the fender and front wheel and as I see it raising up infront of my face I'm using the forks almost like the sight on a gun to aim down the lot. Not sure if that makes any sense at all but that's what worked for me for getting BP. Stay at it man you will get it.

Re: stoppie/endo
Dude just whatever clip ons. I would say just flip and turn out the stock ones but I've heard they are pretty weak. I have SI side mount 1" raised clip ons but people are rocking all kinds of stuff. Really just whatever you like. I just think it really makes your body positioning feel a lot better. As for BP man it took me a good month or so to get used to coming up that high and I was still chop-chop-choppin the throttle and forgetting to use the rear brake at that point, finally got used to using the rear brake and it's finally like second nature(one day it just clicked, don't ask me how or why). Now I'm still working on catching the bike with the brake. I can bring it up right before balance and rock it back and hold it steady about 15-20mph(guessing) no prob. Just trying to bring it behind balance and hold it at idle. So far I keep braking a little too much and having to give it a little gas to keep it up and avoid mouse trapping the bike. My progression sure hasn't been fast so don't feel bad if yours isn't. Just stay at it.

Re: stoppie/endo
yea it takes a while to get to balance point but i usually use my body to initiate it and hold on cuz once bp comes around even now my heart drops but rolls really smooth and make sure you have some really good soft front tire. I notice that the soft compound doesnt skid as bad and is alot smoother when up. As far as slow wheelies you just gotta know how to wack it up to bp and ride the brake and you'll be coming down hard for the first couples times but it's takin me alot of seat time to get to know my bike to get it to that sweet spot. Again everyone is not the same everyone uses their own techniques to do tricks but always good to try different ones to see what suits you best. Good Luck man keep at it and the r6's have twitchy throttle but people like it cuz of the challenge especially my r6!

Re: stoppie/endo
You bouncing with your *** on the seat good? Like I said before bounce with your ***(I'm sure you could pump with your legs too like you would for bouncing a wheelie but I haven't tried) and use your knees to grip the tank when you are initiating the stoppie. That will help lift the rear without requiring as much initial grab. Unless the lot was dirty or your tire is really cold it shouldn't be locking up everytime.

when i first learned how to do rollin stoppies thats the advise i got. just b4 you hit the front break bounce your *** on the seat. just like you do for wheelies but in reverse
the main thing is get rid of the plastics, put the man pants on and go get it. crashing is part of the game, and theres no good way to bail a stoppie. its all *****, and as it was said practice, practice, and practice some more.
good luck with it man

Re: stoppie/endo
buy a 4 wheeler or little dirt bike and practice on that ... u can drop a quad all u want and that shyt aint gonna break ...
then take all the farirings off your bike or buy a cheap stunter cause ur gonna drop it ... point blank ....
and dont rush it man .. make sure your 100% comfortable on your bike before you try doing things your not ready for ... and i wouldnt worry about stoppies till u get wheelies down
good luck

Re: stoppie/endo
its a lot more comfortable because the bike comes up slower and not as snappy as it will when you gear it. i've known a lot of people who though a big sprocket would help them learn wheelies, and all it did was put them on their back.
learn on stock. when you can catch idle, then switch.. simple..

Re: stoppie/endo
from the vids cant tell if your prep before you stunt. theres a lot of small things you do before stunting. that helps do the stunt. example, check tires, on the street i run 20-22 psi but on the lot i run 13-18 psi. also take a ride around the lot and look for stones ,new gease and oil patches. while your doing that it warms up your tires and brakes witch helps alot no matter what stunt your trying. and the reason your not foalting your stoppie is so many newbe just grab the frony brake and thinks thats it but you have to let it out when you find the bp. an old head told me this years ago on here that help a lot. wheelies = 80% gas to the bp and 10% to ride it. same as a stoppie 80% brake brings it to the bp and 10% or a light drag on the brakes help kepts it there so you can ride it out
