Question stoppies.............

ok so i can stoppie as well as i want to in a straight line (feet on/feet off/sit on tank) but i'm having problems turning them, the best im getting is the bike going to about 30 degrees off the straight, want to get to 180 degrees.

any suggestions?

normally go into them at about 90-100 bring it up nice and slow, i'm trying to turn the bike with my legs, do any of you use any kind of counter steer? or is it a case of bring the bike up sharper and leaning into direction of turn?

thanks for your

Re: stoppies.............

speed gives time in the air, i find it easier to have more speed into it and lift the bike a bit slower, from 40 i can only make it go flying up and crash back down again, the faster speed lets you get the bike down a bit more gently as well
