Re: Another stoppie question

well we got to the lot last night, and i cant say its the greatest place for stoppies...

but my first 4 or 5 i payed attention to where my head was pointing...tried to make sure i kept looking forward...felt pretty akward but the stoppies felt great and my buddies said they looked like my best ones...after that i wheelied for a while and then went back to some stoppies but went back to the horrible form...oh well, guess its gonna take some practice....i also think i wanna get a new tire before i try to push it...

michelin pilot power, or get a race takeoff and heat it up before you roll endoes.....about 20 seconds of riding for my pirelli p0

pay attention to your form and pick an object way farthr than you could ever roll and look at it, almost like you are setting it as a goal...............I look at parked cars or trees 1500 feet past where I'm rolling endoes....gained me an instant 40 feet once I started doing that, otherwise I would set it down where I was looking!

pilot power would be the ONLY STREET COMPOUND tire I would run. Personally I prefer the pirelli race takeoffs....or new race tires for front tires.....got one sitting right meow........don't bother trying to buy it, I got it free and its mine!<-----greedy bastard!
