I lean back a lil when doing them, I'm new to them myself, I can only roll them 5-10 feet right now but with practice.....

Re: highchair stoppies???

i dont see why you wanna lean back???? i lean forward to do mines, well just to initiate the endo..... after that just roll it out like a normal stoppie...... this is couple things i ran into problems w/ the first time.... when not leaning forward i couldnt get it off the ground...... when coming back down from a hc stoppie the first time my front legs just flew up so be aware of that..... once you do it its all gravy..... i do mines in 2nd gear..... but make sure you land with some speed (do not come to a dead stop) so when you land you can still ride it out...... that helps especially when doing 1 handed hc endos.

oh yeah and its called pipe insulation ...... most of them should come w/ adhesive already on it..... i put duct tape on the inside so it doesnt rip.

Re: highchair stoppies???

just like what akj said.i lean forwrds on mine,once u get used to it coming up u will then learn all the same steps u would when doing a reg. stoppie.my boy rick from pbr is sick on those,i saw him roll like 50+ one time on a clip.another thing ak said that u should take to note is have some speed when u come back down,if u dont u better hope u can balance ur bike at a dead stop.i have done that one more times than i can count,i even lost a brake lever one time.get foam installation and some zip ties cause u can seriously cut the back of ue legs up!!!!!hope u learn them and roll some mad highchair endos one day bro,peace out

Well I guess everyone has their way, it's all in how you feel comfortable doing them I guess, someone can sit here and tell you how they do something but once you start doing it you will find the way fits you.....
