How 2 keep stoppie straight
Hey guys,
How's it. I've been riding for a long time and pulling stoppies (just normal ones, nothing fancy) for a long time too (4-5 years). Since stunting ain't that popular in NZ, my main interest has just been on riding and racing.
But now that I've retired from racing, I wana do some stunts cause it rocks! :YEAH
So stoppies! I can pull em up OK at just about any speed and I am OK with balancing it fairly high.
Where I've got problems is in my head. When I don't think about it, everything is all good. When I think of the problem I have with the the tail end of the bike swinging to one side, the exact thing happens and it's anoying as ***! I know it's stupid but once it happens, I can't go straight unless I leave it for a few weeks and do it.
Any help? Am I just a weirdo or is this a common problem for doing stoppies. Is there a cure for this nusence?

Sadly not too many do good stoppies here. I've chatted to em all about it.
