not to jack your thread here's a little tip roll some stoppie towards a camera have the person take a picture when your at the tallest point. if your arms are completely locked and your tail its able to be seen over the helmet you're rolling tall and at balance point (which is the point before your off the brakes) Your steering will dramatically increase at this point making it possible for you to do 180's steer corners or obstacles or in nags case between cars on the highway

So true. I destroyed all the pics of my old stoppies of what I thought was high. I think Wheeliest said it best. They're not a stunt, they are an ART.

More speed = more time to get a feel for the front brake and to make adjustments to the rear tire height. Use the gear where you have it just about tapped out RPM wise at around 30-45 MPH. Turn your idle down to 1000 or lower if it isn't already.
thanks for the pointers.. most of my stoppies in that video were done in second gear around 8k rpms.. about 40 mph..

bigger lot tonight so i will get some more speed and hopefully a better feel.. i will put up a video of my progress.. or a crash hopefully later tonight lol

i'm sure i'll regret not listening to you later..but for now.. i like the risk.. stoppies are probablly the sickest looking trick on a bike when you can roll them out a couple hundred feet

i just started learning on my Motard and have hit the 60' mark a couple times...its weird when you ride out an endo you feel like that rear end is higher, then you look back at your video footage and your hardly off the ground....like someone said baby steps, you will truly know when you get close to the point of no return.

Re: -video added- Is this balance point in a stoppie?
heres day 4.. i am feeling pretty confident with them now.. found 2 new lots.. got kicked out of both of them and the normal one i use was packed with cars tonight... so i only got a total of about 10 mins of practice in.. hopefully i will have some more practice time tomorrow.. every time i felt like i was getting warmed up i got booted...

i tried locking my elbows a coulple times.. its hard to stay locked though .. i will keep trying it though.. i will keep posting vids as i progress..

Here's some tips
  • Your not rolling in fast enough
  • You neeed a steering Damper
  • wear a jacket and a spine protector better than that icon
  • Take off the 12 bar or put a round bar on so you dont break your back.
  • Just roll in one spot dont keep switiching. Put a take off and a pickup .
  • mark off 300 feet roll in easy in second gear mark a pickup that is free of sand and any other garbage.
  • Look at the ground you are rolling on Slight dips, inclines and other stuff will kill you "know your roll" literally
  • KNOW THE DANGER YOU WILL FLIP! I had a nasty tank slapper that broke 10 ribs, Collapsed my lung, Road Rash, EXE....... spent time in a wheelchair. but still rolled one last time at Stuntoberfest. stoppies are no joke if your going for distance your going to eat it. Unless your superman Mitch Adam's
Watch this vid about 1:30 in and on whole lotta stoppies at BP and at speed .

Didn't say it was high quality it was a sponsor vid when i was getting back on my feet after my wreck a year ago. I've updated video equipment since then... It was just to show BP and control during BP

BTW: Sweet tank dangler in your avitar
