hey guys just had a stoppie question.
when first doing stoppies is it best to stay sitting and just lean forward a bit or stand up and try it. I know that it is all in what feels the best but i thought i would get some input before i try anything fast or tall. any input at all would be great, oh and if it helps its a 05 z1000 that im riding.
thanks, Matt

 

lean forward, keep your arms straight and bring your butt off the seat a tad

 

oh and make sure you're looking foward.. no like me hehe. plus I'm not sure my form is the best but here's an example

 

ok so i do need to be off the seat a bit, thats pretty much what i needed to know. makes me a bit nervouse for the simple fact that i just got this bike and i dont want to crash it. so i try to do it at low speed.

 

Yeah the force will bring bring you off the seat some. Well just take your time..Roll at like 45 and just squeeze the brake like a trigger and the rear should come up some and get used to that. Just take things slow you should be good. Also make sure that you try on a good clean surface no dirt,oil etc

 

^^And make sure you pr-load your forks.

 

This is what i do: 1) Get up some speed 2) make sure the road is clear (no dirt or wet ****) 3) Lean forward 4) Give the bike a little bounce on the rear end and pull in the brake, Hard and Fast (aye lewis)

 

ive seen plenty of ppl roll them with their *** almost a foot off the seat. i always had my *** planted. i think it has to do with how tall you are which will affect the center of gravity. post pics of your form so we can critique you!

 

this is a picture I threw up in another thread to have critiqued...

one of the things i need to work on is keeping my head up and looking forward...i've done it a few times and it feels weird, but it works...

 

I just wanted a pic of myself on Stuntlife

 

how far is that like 5 feet? :YEAH

 

I roll *** on the seat and putting down a respectable distance lock your arms roll into the stoppie apply the pressure get it str8 to the bp make sure you stay locked so the bike doesn't sway under you. and i just also wanted a pic on stunt life hahahah

 

I HAVE MEET THIS GUY

WHAT A TOOL

 

WHAT KIND OF HANDLEBAR SET UP YOU RUNNIN LOOKS TIGHT

i really need to get a trash bike and try it, i do a bit here and there on my Z1000. but i jut bought it brand new and really dont want to wreck the thing. sometimes though it is just too hard to resist.

 

Yeah, rat bikes are nice, good for us stuntabees.

 

a lot of people get off the seat a bit...... I like to keep my *** planted in the seat
