Rick/Digidy Rollin Stoppies ?
Wazzup guys....quick q .....does the bike not roll as far if you brake the rear tire to a complete stop while rollin the stoppie? I usually brake the rear but at Stuntwarz pimpin joe brown, chauncey, and the rest of the "insane stoppie crew" had the back tire still rotatin. Guys mind hittin me up with an explanation....preciate.....keep the sick **** comin!

Hmm never thought about it. Heres somthin else to think about. In moto-x, gas it to bring the front end up..hit the rear brake to bring the front end down.
Could be off base but I figured Id throw it out there.

djm....i appreciate the response, I just kinda figured seeing as how I can hit the point of balance where I can let go of the front brake, I wasn't sure if the momentum of the back tire really mattered that much at that point. All in all I preciate the response!

rear tire spinning = gyroscopic effect
with the tire spinnin it will stay centered a little easier, but if it starts swingin outta the spot and u dont instantly correct it, u should just set it down
with tire stopped, the *** end is kinda 'free', it stays in no special spot, and u can correct it fairly ez
same **** with the europeans and the front wheel for circles
hope this helps, if not....holla

Oh Well, live and learn.............why does a bike get sideways like that?

here's my no good opinion.
stoppies are more of a science than most of the other tricks. the most important part is the setup. first off, your bike MUST be tight. no faulty piece is gonna let you roll a few hundred feet. next most important thing is body position. you gotta be centered on the bike and feel comfortable. get as much of your weight over the front tire as possible. after that, practice and more practice. as joe brown showed you, you dont need to go 150 to roll far. find that balance point and let it ride. just dont stuff yourself.
as far as the back tire is concerned, like rick said, it can help the back end stay straight, but it can throw the bike sideways in a hurry too if you let it get away. its a gyro effect. if you get a good feel of what the bike is doin and when its startin to get sideways, you can correct it. its up to you if you wanna let it spin or stop it. its two completely different styles. just be careful stoppin it cause it throws the *** end in the air in a hurry.

Weber....hey man thanks to you and the others for takin the time to explain.....from what I can gather from you pure playaz is it seems as though not only does the rear tire spinning create a gyro effect in essesence, but it also provides more stabililty and control in balancing out the forces of your body against the bike! Thanks again guys.......preciate it......keep that **** on lock!

but i did ride motocross and hitting the back brake makes the back end come up...
or do streetbikes some how break the laws of physics ?

PS. Getting your weight over the front tire is key. Also, the trick to steering is constantly trying to keep the front tire underneith the rear. If the *** end is pulling right, you steering left.... just like whipping turns. Ya get me?
