Ok so recently i started rolling them about 50-60ft but i cant keep the rear end straight!!! only thing holding me back is the fact that i cant keep them straight. I am forced to bring it down.

Any tips? Thanks.

 

i remember kyle woods talking about that on his level x tapes...let me re-watch it and i'll hit you up

 

When you bounce (you're body) up, Look forward, and make an overexaggerated effort to bounce up over the VERY center of the bike. U will then begin to notice when you just brake it up, or bounce a little, it will easily go sideways. And if you do that high speed, and the *** end lands when it is out to the side, PREPARE to eat ****.

 

You shouldn't be "bouncing it up"

If your back end is swinging around. You aren't high enough.

 

+ 1 on both points

 

theres alot of factors.... if you are endo'ing uneven ground your bike will want to naturaly turn uphill....
It may be in your steering too. If you start to go sideways you keep your bike straight by adjusting your steering and your body weight. I was having trouble with the bike going sideways and Legion-John told me to keep the tail end of your bike behind your head and use your steering to keep you going straight, back then (1 month ago) I was going 50-60 feet last weekend I was getting 200, I still have alot to learn but I have the basics down

 

hey i was having the same problems with this to and i was not locking my arms out......well anyways i was wondering about bouncing.....when i watch vids of some guys they bounce like JBritton i think everyone i see him, he bounces why do you think he does that......see im 225 lbs my big *** is not trying to bounce......but does that help him with height or what? i truly think my issue is that im not going fast enough

 

i tried a few more last night and ill tell you what really helped me was looking forward instead of looking down. but i was still drifting.

i pulled an 80ftr last night. was cool.

practice practice. :YEAH

 

A lot of people don't bounce it up, but when i say bounce, all i mean is a quick weight shift forward on your body at the exact timing of the initail brake pull. A LOT of people do this, as i am one of them, and several of the top stoppie riders out there. Through Physics, this is purely helpful in initiating the stoppie, and helping it get to BP quicker which = more distance........a little more unsafe because of the quickness of it, but who here REALLY rides safe ..........and his back end is swinging around because he's not high enough........but if he does this weight shift, he may get it there
