For those rolling at BP anything over 400ft.

When you initially bring the endo up do you let the rear wheel keep spinning
..or.. do you tap the rear brake to stop the rotation.

Just wandering if one way or the other is better for steering the bike.

Thanks.

 

try both do what you feel is best

 

Always keep the rear spinning!!!!!! If you have ever jumped w/ a DB U will understand the giro effect... Keep it spinning!

 

keep the rear wheel spinning.... bring it up to balance point in a high speed stoppie and tap the rear brake and you'll be kissing pavement. Ask Gorka

 

Glad I asked first then! I always tap the rear brake right before I sit a endo back down... never tried taping the brake when I was really moving with some speed.. guess its a bad idea

 

very bad idea.. I'd suggest you not try it

 

^why do you tap the brake b4 setting it down? just wondering.

 

I keep it spinning, i feel that it works kinda of like a gyro that helps (yes help, majority of the steering and keeping the bike straight is still on you) to keep the bike in line.

Tapping the brake right before you put the wheel down (if its still spinning) stops it so that there isn't that annoying jerk/noise where the wheel and chain is suddenly stopped from hitting the pavement.

 

just sounds better when you do that.

 

hmm i'll have to try that 1

 

Signature move. Brake tap to head smash. 3 concussions and permanent nerve damage on both legs from endo's...who's got what on that? Maybe that's why I can't remember anything before 8th grade...It's all a blurrrrrrrrrr The back brake is EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!

 

hm..........I flipped an endo about a month ago........would that explain why both legs are numb just above my knee cap?

My shoulder, ribs, roadrash,.....all have healed, but its still numb there.....and kinda tender around the edges of where its numb....which is always fun when you kinda hit that area on the corner of a table or somin!
