my endos suck!!!
I just started messing around with endos, so far the only time I can get the rear to come off the ground is when I am coming to a complete stop at less than 10 mph. Even then it's only maybe a foot at the highest point. When I try and attempt a rolling endo I give the brake a good squeeze and my front tire locks up and skids, makes me pray that the bike doesn't wash out from under me. If I give it less brake I just slow down. What am I not getting

Re: my endos suck!!!
Just all about weight transer bro, rolling stoppie can also be done on a wet ground. the feeling of baby stoppie is different from that of rolling stoppie.
higher preload may helps.

Re: my endos suck!!!
if the front tire is locking up its because 1 your grabing to hard and all yer weight is to the back....2 tire is not warm...3..tooo much tire pressure....
when yer going to try to roll one go alttle faster and once you come off the throttle shift yer weight forward(give yer tank alittle hump)lol and while doing that squeeze the front brake....make sure to not to squeeze to much or it will be yer last .....take yer time....have fun.......oh yea practice..grab a video cam so you can see yourself progress/or crash..

Re: my endos suck!!!
I was able to roll a small stoppie today using the advise I got. I got my nuts right up to the tank and gave it some brake. It probably came up less than a foot but I was rolling so it's a start. Now I have to find someone with a camcorder so I can see exactly what I'm doing. I'm only going around 20 mph untill I get more comfortable with the *** end coming up.

Re: my endos suck!!!
Try 30mph I found it to be a good speed for learning. If you scrub off a bunch of speed befor comitting you will still be rolling fast enoff not to have wasted the whole try and it will still bring up the back. I would get used to the feeling of the back comeing up before worrying to much about how long your rolling them. Also if you praticing at night cover the headlight or pull the fuse if your in a lot so you don't get tempted to look down to gauge your height by how close the light is to your front tire.

Re: my endos suck!!!
it helped me by going a little bit faster man and just squize the break so you can compress the frot forks and than give it a lil harder grab and move your weight to the front and it will come up and yah warm up the tire it always helps ...good luck stoppies R fun ,just be safe doing it take your time....

Re: my endos suck!!!
Get out with someone that is the bomb at stoppies and have him give you tips -- you'll push yourself. I get going 1st then as soon as I click into 2nd I squeeze the brake progressively until the rear lifts off the ground and I then feather it out. I'm doing it on a Dunlop, that's SKID central. I'd get a Pilot Power Rain tire or whatever, John told me they are the **** for stoppies. You'll have ALOT more hook ups and ALOT less washing out.
Back in early Jan.
and now I'm alot more controlled...... I still gotta work on finding BP and rais the *** up higher so I can roll further but I got concept now. Practice man..

Re: my endos suck!!!
I took everyones' advise as you can see from the avatar I managed to get the *** end up finally. Now I just have to practice and then practice some more.
I wish there were people to ride with around here. So far I've been riding by myself, yah I know not a good idea. I'm gonna try and hit up Hazen when he comes back to town.
