stoppie tail moving sideways

been having trouble with my tail going to one side or the other when i do stoppies...it been going on for about a year now so i think i should ask and maybe it's a easy fix..or maybe not

so it happens at any speed i do it...the faster i go the more it seems to go to the side...it's not that i'm stearing the stoppie, it's just the tail going to the side and i have to put it down....my arms are straight and i'm going straight, so is it me not being balanced or i should run less tire pressure?

get the back up higher...keep your arms locked. might have to adjust with some shoulder movement but def get the back higher.

Re: stoppie tail moving sideways

any bit of input while your rollin it out could make the tail vear left or right , now still after hundreds of endos, Ive never used a stabilizer so Ive had to correct this with my body. the only way to correct this is you have to ,well I make sure my arms are stiff with equal pressure , when the tail starts to kick out you have to steer into whatever direction its kicking out ,by steer I mean lean into that direction until you match the kickout . move your body/shoulders into that direction , watch some endo clips man and just keep practicing them over and over , well thats my semi-take on them , goodluck..

Re: stoppie tail moving sideways

the tail moving side to side has everything to do with you body english/position

You need to be up nice and high, then you can work on shifting your shoulders to keep the rear wheel/tail behind you. also put weight on whichever side clipon the tail is trying to swing to
