don't get frustrated. Its only going to decrease the progress.

The thing that you are not doing is getting enough speed. You can't be doing 25mph and try to roll it, not really (when you get the hang of it) You are going to slow down to fast and be stopped by the time you realize it. I normally get mine at about 50mph or 45mph.... But you have to be careful as this is not a wheelie. You don't have a rear brake to cover and you will go head over heels. And at those speeds would or could be VERY painful or worse. The bottom line is to take is slow. Go a little fast try it. Go a little faster and try it. Before to long you'll notice that you are getting better and better. This is not going to happen over night anbd requires practice.

Also, if you ever plan on doing long rolling endo's invest in a steering dampner or get used to your *** and your wallet to be dampened.

Pull in the brake about 80%. Take it slow, get a feel for the pressure you need to get it up. Pressure on the brake is everything. Give it pretty good pressure and slowly feather it a little when it gets up. You dont want to lock the brake up, to go up and down. You are never ever fully on the brake when you do a rolling stoppie. There is my
