you "just" learned to ride over the screen? like - going in a straight line on two wheels?
I suggest not jumping straight to highchairs....
lower speed endos go for it- aslong as you got the concept of endos down. if ya loop it the crash isnt as bad atleast.

I understand he may want more specific. but in his first post he had said "I just learned to ride with my leggs over the screen."
that tells me..
yanno..
but whatever, im not his mommy-
heres a more specific technical pointer: Dont loop it. It will hurt.

If you can't ride them forever I would suggest finding the balance point first.

you are clutching them up i hope?
in second gear you should be able to clutch it up even sitting highchair. Like it was stated, learn to ride real good over the screen before doing stunts. It's completely different. If you come down hard you go over the bars on highchair wheelies and that's bad, or you'll slide off the back and that's bad too. That happens a lot cuase people don't realize the weight on the hands and once they get it up they slide then roll more throttle cause they slide backwards and then bad news.
on stoppies, i would suggest riding around a parking lot first gear really slow over the screen and doing real tight slow turns and getting used to it because after you do a stoppie you are going to be slow and need to balance. When you bring the rear up lean backwards or you're *** will fall off and that hurts cause you land from about 2 1/2 feet strait onto your but...i know cuase i did it the first time i tried one.
i don't know how strong that windscreen is, but if it's like a 929 then plan on destroying it cause a lot of weight is put on it when you do stoppies in highchair.

Be ready for a nice dented tank also once you start trying the crossed up tricks. I find crossed up stoppies to be easier than regualr stoppies since you dont need to really do much more than apply the break to bring it up.

ya, also you feel like you're falling the whole time the rear tire is up, AND, it's kinda scary cause you have no reference with bike/ground, all you see is in front of you so it's kinda hard to judge how high it is.

Dude, what you wrote here sounds like something someone would say just before they looped the bike over backwards and either got really hurt of worse killed themselves. You want pros and and other riders to give you advice on how to do it and they tell you to just chill out a little and you look at it as "mother talk"? No offense, but you are going to be someone covered in a lot of roadrash soon, IF YOU ARE LUCKY.
