I can get the back wheel pretty high but I can't ride it out. I am starting to do more stunting and I was wondering if anyone had pointers on how to ride out endos for extended periods of time. Also, is it necessary to rear break while you are up? Thanks

 

1. There is a how-to-forum
2. to roll them farther you need to go faster...a lot of guys do them from 60 mph...squeeze the brake quickly, hard, and smooth, to lift the rear end towards the balance point, and then modulate the amount of braking, you shouldn't be using too much with the back end way up, that's how you roll them, by being smooth on the brake, and getting the rear up quick and then using very little braking power.
3. I haven't heard of anyone braking the rear wheel while it's off the ground, but I idk.

 

do a search...I think I posted a really good article in a few threads. Check the "180 endos" thread posted about a week ago.

Tapping the rear brake will bring it up faster... but you have to be careful. It's an easy way to loop it ontop of yourself. the momentum of the spinning wheel getting stopped pushes the bike up. aren't physics wonderful. anyhow, just do like was said. Squeeze the front brake quickly and hard, but keep it smooth. Let off as the bike begins to rise, or if the tire locks up on you. You might want to lower the tire pressure a bit. but nothin too crazy. Good luck and be safe!


Just out of curiousity, are you gettin them any higher than your avitar? Cause you won't be able to roll them if you're not a LOT higher than that!
