Well this thread was made for a few reasons. 1) Share your variations of this stunt. 2) I have a question 3) pictures.

I just started working on doing a stoppie and swinging the back tire onto an overturned bucket, then riding off. I've done it a few times but its still a working progress. Second, my question is, I dropped a stoppie awile back and have since fixed my front brake mostly, but now I cant roll them very well and im having trouble adjusting the brake so that I can get it up, and hold it for longer than a second. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

3) I dont have any pictures yet but im working on it, I'd like to see some of your pictures though.

the best thing i've found, is go FAST, and bounce the rear end up HARD!

there's plenty you can do with endos, highchiar, 180, etc.etc.etc.


here's a few pics:

Still working on a picture. I tried a 180, but my back tire wouldnt even get up.

some old bad quali pics of me........currently I´m at a distance of 40 feet...

I have to take some new pics!

Venom600

Those are some great pics man. I can spread my legs when I do it, and I can swing the back end around but thats about it so far. Like I said, I cant even get the back end up if my feet are over the handlebars.

Some old pic, cant really roll them that far, can do more variations though

Venom600

When you do stoppies in the HC position, do you need to try to raise off the seat or does your brake do all of it?

WHEELIEALEX

i kind of jump up a lil!!!
i roll hc endos then regulr cause its easy u get to the balance point and it just rolls!
U aint that scraed!cause if u flip u just jump off!

Venom600

Thanks, I'll try that when I fix my handlebars.

T'RIC'KY

+1 that´s how I do ´em too but I can´t roll ´em too far, if you flip it just jump off...you might grab your brake a lil bit harder cause you have more weight in the back but that´s it, it´s easy!

Venom600

Well Bad news. I fixed my handlebars, and tweaked my brakes and got them perfect. I got a stoppie up a few inches in HC position and I was doing spreaders left and right. I get home from work, hop back on and do a few more stoppies and I land one then here a CLANG and the frame collapses. It landed on its kickstand and I jsut sorta hopped off. I completly broke my suspension and something is wrong with the gear cable. I think I lost an O-Ring or something and I dont even know whats wrong with the gear cable. Anyone know where I can find spare parts for a mongoose? I hope my bike isnt FUBAR'D. Thanks for any help.

Venom600

T'Ric'Ky In that second pic, are you falling or is that just a really good spreader? Im fixing my bike this weekend so hopefully its not FUBAR'd and I can fix it, then I'll get some pics up. vbmenu_register("postmenu_2135181", true);

Im getting the high chair endo's down. Had to adjust my brake a little. I've broke my suspension twice now but I know how to fix it so its cool. Im taking my mountain bike to the spot to watch/stunt with ATL Freestyle later today if all goes well so hopefully I can get some pics up. I can roll endos, but more than 5 to 7ft. Any tips?

Stuntone0one

go faster, bounce the rear end harder.

it's just gonna takes some ***** to go do it, and most likely you'll crash it.

Venom600

I took my bike out to 'the spot' when I was hanging out with atl freestyle and watching them ride, and I was practicing endos. I started doing it faster and even figured out a way to get it up that is safer and more efficient. I adjusted my brake again and made it a little on the tight side. Then, I started doing them faster, but instead of hitting the brake hard and bouncing the back end up, I would go from a faster speed, lean forward first, then get a handful of brake. This made the back end slowly lift up and once I slowed a little, come up all the way. I can also roll farther doing this. Anyone else use this method?

Finally here is a few pics.

haha nice, but sitdown. sitdown stoppies are ALOT easier to feel the balance on that standup.

Venom600

I start them standing and let the seat come up to me so I end up sitting. I have a pretty good feel for them now.
