-video added- Is this balance point in a stoppie?

i hit this spot 2 or 3 times when i was practicing today it feels like any more brake and the bike would tip over and when i am stopped at this point it stays up for about a second then drops down..

Re: Is this balance point in a stoppie?

I thought the same thing. Thought I was high enough. I was rolling about 50 feet at that height. Its easier to feel more stable at higher speeds. Its the slow popa stoppies that get ya in the loop situation rather easy. Baby steps all the way buddy, they are lookin good!

Re: Is this balance point in a stoppie?

Your body position sucks. Lock out your elbows and look straight forward at a point on the horizon about 5-800' out.

I can only plow 80-90' and I can't steer them, but I have only practiced 5 or 6 days. I have gotten pointers from the best though. Get the basics down, make them a habit and make baby steps getting the *** end higher.

Re: -video added- Is this balance point in a stoppie?

Lock your arms, look forward. Rev out the gear higher and drop the throttle and get right on the front brake. You can hear in the video the one locked up the tire for a split second because you coasted then pulled it up. Maybe do them in second and get a bigger spot so you can come in a little hotter. 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.
