Endo Balance Point?

Ive just started endos ive been doin them for 3 days and i cant seem to roll them very far maybe 30 ft is a good one average is about 12 ft. I ride a 2003 R6 i can bring it up to around 3 maybe 3 1/2 foot at 35 mph. What are some things that will help me roll them smooth and far. do i just need more practice or what

just keep practicin dude. i get 50 ft when i go in at 40mph. the faster you go + the higher you get the back wheel = the further you roll. get a good feel for the brake as well as the height of the bike. have someone video or photo cause you prolly think you are higher that you actually are. good luck

unless you are doing a stall or going for distance, you don't want to come to a complete stop and piledrive the rear wheel. you want to still be moving when you come down and ease it down not just release the brake. its hard to explain just about everything about stunting...you have to watch someone else do it or you just have to find it for yourself. just keep trying, J

When I started i had a death grip on the bike and kept my eyes focused on the front of the bike and the ground.
Im no pro but i found that if you try to sit up straight and really make yourself look up and forward when you get the rear up, its more stable and you will find you bring em up higher and can roll em longer.

1) Buy a steering damper. If you don't you're going to end up getting a tank slapper and it's gonna be ugly!

2) Right as you start to bring up the back pick your butt up a few inches off the seat.

3) Keep your arms straight. Don't let them bend.

4) Keep your head and eyes straight. Don't look at the ground, look infront of you.

Those will help. Oh, always make sure you ride for 5 minutes or so before trying endos. You have to heat that front tire up...

and lean forward over the bars, rather than trying to lean back

speed hurts man...i kept getting faster and faster to get more distance until i went down doing 80. I found that if i keep my speed lower, get hte tail up higher sooner and work on body position i can roll further without coming in breaking the sound barrier.

rick payne is rolling 300 feet or so only coming in around 40 or so mph.

just gotta keep working man. Soon you'll be rolling them out. just take your time and don't rush or you'll get hurt.
