First Rollin' Stoppie...

I did my first rollin stlopie yesterday! It was only about 2 or 3 feet but I guesse you gotta start somewhere, right.

I did a search on the forum for some tips on stoppies and couldn't find much.

Could some of yall vets lace some game on rollin' stoppies so I can go practice with a little more knowlege than I have now? Thanx!

P.S. I have no one to ride with out here so everything I've learned I've taught myself through practice and the forums. Thanx.

Re: First Rollin' Stoppie...

real important stuff: do m with some speed, not at a stop! STRAIGHTEN YOUR ARMS WITH FORCE ONCE YOU ARE UP HIGH!
look forward, not down!
use a sticky front tire, warm it up before you try!
start with this..

Re: First Rollin' Stoppie...

I been starting a like 30 mph. Im running my stock D208 dunlop on the front still and it's pretty worn out. Imma get some pilot powers next week. + I think I need heavier springs in the front forks, Race tech or something cuz my pre load is all the way out. I haven't been straitening my arms with that much force. Imma try that today!

Thanks...Anyone else...could use a start to finish guide to make sure I'm doing it right if any wants to take the time to write it out.

Re: First Rollin' Stoppie...

work on your pre load... and just before u grab that bit more shift all your body weight forward ... as a wise man once told me it like doing a back flip in your seat (thanks Bender ) i was doing shitty little stoppies for ages but once i got my preload down AHHHHH im in stoppie heaven went from 3-4m's to 20 - 25 doing 50kms :YEAH so bout 30mph.... if your locking em up dont go faster till you get the weight shift down coz it can end in well not fun... o yeh i also got a pirelli diablo and its the ****

Happy Stoppies
