OK I can consistantly get the back wheel pretty high off of the ground just as I'm stopping, do I still have a long way to go before I can get em rolling? Do you guys have any advice on how to transition from one into the other?

Thanks

 

you gotta just ****** it up...i usually pump the brake a few times before snatchin it up ...
your losing all momentum by gradually gettin it up..

 

From what I have learned from Rich and Brandon.

Keep looking forward, pick a spot eye level and never take your eyes off of it. Once you are good at endos, then you maybe able to look else where.
center yourself on the bike and grip the tank tight with your knees and stiffen your elbows.
Don't pump the brake. brake enough to compress the forks then squeeze harder to jack up the rear end and kinda raise your *** off the seat a little bit to throw the moment and weight over the front tire. keep your elbows stiff to keep from getting a tank slapper and the rear from coming around. control the direction of the bike with your shoulders. hard technic to learn but very effective.

 

everybody got their own technique...go practice..

 

pm chadm and ask him about my "stoppie learning technique" ask him if it worked for him and how long it took to learn. then pm me and i'll tell ya!

 

aaron taught me in about 15 how to roll them once you get them its easy

 

i can do pretty good rollin endoz myself! But i'm ready 2 take them 2 the next level!! I wanna roll them longer! Wheelie Boyz style! U guyz got any tipz on how i can add more distance 2 my rolling endoz? What do i need more speed? I think my fastest endo was @ 55mph!! Coming off the hi-way! Awww man it came up sooooo smooth! And just coasted for a good distance!! I was like maaan! That felt soo good! It seemz like the faster u good the more smoother they are? but any helpful tipz iz appreciated! Thanx!

 

Im no pro, but I can tell you that you dont really need speed. There is a balance point you can reach, just like in a wheelie. My endos average a distance of 100-120ft at around 40-50 mph. Keeping your head up is great advise! I like to bring my rear tire up as fast as possible to the balance point, and just ride em' as long as I can! This year, I'll hit at least 200-300ft.

 

I HAVE THE TRICK....... IF YOU ARE JUST LEARNING BRING YOUR BIKE UP TO SIXTH GEAR AND REDLINE IT...THEN GRAB A SET OF VICE GRIPS AND CLAMP THEM FROM YOUR HAND GRIPS TO YOUR BRAKE LEVER AND JUST HOLD ON ... IT WORKS EVERYTIME!!!!

 

Be-O-Be, is that what happened to your face?!?!?!? Ha HA! j/k The MIST crew says Hi! Dont be a stranger dawg!!! See ya at Heller.

 

COULDN'T OF SAID IT BETTER. DO JUST THAT!!!!

 

So, learn to stick em first then learn to roll em? Same principles apply for a250 lb ripper on an r1?

 

"ripper"...haha

The best way to roll em real far is, im talking from 120-130mph, is to touch the brake to compress the forks, and allowing the tyre to spread, then just feed in the brake smooth and consistently, if done from 130mph the back should lift at about 100-110mph, once it's up high at about 80mph just hold it there. cuz the higher you are the further you go. Just remember the faster you are going the less room for error. And when you come to the end sub 10mph give the brake a little tip e tap just to get it to the exact pinacle of balance. (you no when u think you will flip it but don't)

OK if you do Endos from 50-60mph don't try this right away just increace your speed and gain confidence. And when finally You try 100mph + Endos, make sure it is a hot day with a clear road which has an excellent smooth surface. also a wide road is handy cuz sometimes you can vere if a gust of wind gets ya. Also a very wide open road makes u feel like you are going slower so gives u more confidence bringin it up from speed.

 

There's alot of good advice on this board already, I just want to add that running about 25-28 lbs of pressure in the front tire helps it grip at higher speeds.( 80+mph):bouncesmi :bouncesmi

 

I've become a pro at locking the front tire up and I will tell you what NOT to do....

Don't have shitty breakpads, finally changed mine yesterday and they were almost non-existant.

Don't try them on bald tires....duh.

The breaking technique has got to be quick not slow to allow all the wieght to move forward onto the front tire.

Don't try this on the roads now if you live up north, damn salt has left a nice powder on the road and its slick as hell, find a good parkinglot without salt all over it if you're gonna do them tomorrow.

Make sure its relatively warm out or the tires can't heat up and won't stick.

Now I'm deffinatly no where near close to a pro but all of these variables will cause the front tire to skid...though I'm sure people like Thew and others could pull one up on ice if they wanted.

When I bring it up from high speed. The transition from wheel on the floor to wheel at balance point is about 2-4 seconds. As I have been doing this for a while, I have a lot confidence. So what you said quoted above is correct but for people who are not so familiar at bringing it up from a high speed, there first approach at attempting such a stunt should be done at first with caution.

When I first had the ***** to bring up a High speed endo I was nice and gentle.... very progressive with the brake but now I don't even think about it my hand and body just know what to do. And this comes with practice.

The difference between a pro and a semi pro is the amount of speed lost from when you hit the brakes to when the wheel reaches balance point. The less speed lost generally the better the stunter.
