for some reason i cant get the rear wheels to lift off the ground.....is everyone setting there preload on the springs to the stiffest point? this is really bugging me too.......thx

i got a banshee and i can sorta do a stoppie...i dont roll em that far maybe 5-10ft maybe......i just get goin in second and i push on the pegs..on the the way up i grab all front brake, i can getem pretty high but i cant stop it from shiftin right..still workin on it

or try sittin on the handle bars to learn, it feels safer cause if your about to loop you can just hop off

just my .02

Well a lot of it depends on your machine/brakes. My Banshee took a lot less effort because the brakes grabbed better. My EX needs brake pads so it's harder.

Anyway, with the Banshee I would just get going at the top of first gear and start to slow down using the front brake gradually. Once you are almost stopped grab the brake hard (but smooth) and slide forward on the seat shifting your weight forward quickly gripping the seat with your legs.

My EX is harder. I have really concentrate in order to get the rear wheels up. I have to be very gradual with the front brake because of my pads. However, I think if I change them my technique with the Banshee will work.

Now, the way I explain it won't get you rolling them far at all. I haven't worked on that yet.

Anyway, that's how I do them.

Well I usually start off by mentally preparing myself. That doesn't take long. Then I focus on my stopping point... where do I want to finish the trick. I rock my body weight forward... ease in the clutch and slowly stick my front foot in the wheel. Now as the wheel comes to a jarring holt... you'll feel some minor pain. That's normal... go with it. The rear of the machine will slowly rise. Right when it's about to flip over you'll see your shoe fly off in front of you...(you'll need to look carefully for it because at this time you've lost all feeling in your leg). Now when you see your shoe come off is when you "attempt" to pull your foot out of the wheel. (The first few times I failed at getting my foot free and I flopped it!) Now that your foot is free, you'll feel the front end roll out and the rear of the machine drop. Congradulate yourself on completing the stoppie and seek immediate medical attention. Good luck and break a leg!!

PS... or you could just try pulling in the front brake lever like a sally!

 

on my EX if i kinda "double pump" the front break it seems to help..to be truthful though i just bought my EX and the front breaks seem really weak they just dont seem to grab as hard as i would like them to, they have a real soft and sally feel to them..but stoppies can be done......good luck

 

When I first started doing them I had to double pump the brakes also. As I got better I didn't have to. The ex brakes are kinda weak but it can be done. The biggest part is moving your body weight forward I found myself leaning back not forward. After that its just about getting used to doing them. I will try to put my video clips back up on hereso you can see them.

 

I got a Z400 now, and i can endo like no other, i got some nice hydraulic discs tho, i juss roll in 2nd and lift off the sit a lil or sit up by gas tank and pull the front brake..i wanna learn to roll em, im gonna try a highchair tomorrow :D i think it'll be easy :D

 

I still double pump my raptor.....
