Endos

ok, just picked up a new Ducati Hypermotard yesterday. Riding home I tried a couple of endos. First one worked just fine, and I rolled it probably for 30 to 40 feet. The second, I tried it at about 60 mph and the front wheel locked up. I tried the 3rd and 4th with the same results.
Now, I can do endos just fine, weather on my Aprilia SVX or my wife's Gixxer600. This thing just didn't want to do them for me. I know the brakes are super sensitive and you really have to be careful with them, but I'm thinking there's other issues. The front suspension is really stiff and it seemed that the bike wasn't dipping the front enough to bring up the rear wheel, causing it to lock up. You guys think I'm just not used to the front brake, or could the suspension have something to do with it? Any thought?
