rolling a stoppie?

I can endo or stoppie or whatever you call it really well, but I just stop. What is the secret to rolling them? Is it possible to do it without going like 70+mph?

Re: rolling a stoppie?

Yes it is very possible. That will come with practice though. While you are learning I would suggest you go no slower than 30mph, that way you still have forward rolling momentum incase you grab a little too much brake. Most people learning stoppies usually flip them because they dont have that much speed and try to get the back end up all the way and over they go. The trick is to get the back wheel up kinda quick that way you are using less brake and more balance, kinda like a wheelie. What I do is after I accelerate I pich the tank with my knees and push my weight foward at the same time of grabbing the front brake. Kind of popping my *** up off the seat. Then when the bike comes up I let my *** get back on the seat and adjust how much brake I am giving it according to how high the back is. Alway remember to keep your arms locked out straight. Otherwise you will unintentionally put too much weight to one side, causing the back end to come out. Then when you start getting them a little further you can controll them with your body positioning, leaning left or right. Good Luck and be safe.
