stoppie/endo
 

so im starting to fuck with stoppies i get them up pretty high but i only ride them for like 2-3 ft maybe i was wondering how you guys ride them out so far and i hate it when my front brake locks up on me and i bust my shins on my cage

-edit- im also tryin to learn my bp/ slow wheelies should i raise my idle?

Re: stoppie/endo
 

stoppies are somethin you wanna work ur was in to cuz if u go too far no brake gonna bring u down unless its on ur head:banghead:banghead

Re: stoppie/endo
 

your not high at all if your only rollin 3 feet lol go at a faster speed to learn.....not 100 try a decent speed in 2nd gear. BUY A STABILIZER!!!!!!!
work on em at your own pace.....stoppies can seriously hurt or cripple you. wear a back protector to!!

as for rolling them, there is a balance point on the front wheel. when I am rolling im floating them alot, which means im not on the brake. takes alot of practice and knowing your bike like the back of your hand

Re: stoppie/endo
 

That's why I bring a friend and a camera to the lot. So I can see what I'm doing and know how it feels. Also because I'm still a newb and crash footage is cool....after the pain goes away.

Re: stoppie/endo
 

Stoppies are the most dangerous trick in stunt riding.. its not like a wheelie were theres a back brake to save u if u go a little to far!! But just take it little by little and and get a little higher ever time.. It also helps if u have your butt a few intches off the seat and put your nuts on the tank..:2cents

yea it sucks riding alone but gotta put in work somehow and yea i havent really tried to hit bp im scared lol. i think i hit it a few times by accident when doin wheelies and it was a kool feeling but scared the shit outta me. to do slow wheelies should i raise my idle?

If i were you, I would take the fairings and nose off that bike. I saw the pictures of it. It is really nice and im sure you want to keep it that way.. haha.. So while youre learning, try and make it so nothing thats expensive gets broken.

Crank your idle up, ride a little bit so you can center yourself then stop with the rear brake and then clutch it up... That was the advice i was giving when i was learning.. I think it worked amazing.. Maybe sure you learn that footbrake though..

yea i havent been using the rear brake lol but ill try n fuck around with my idle next time i go out

-edit- what should i crank my idle to?

Re: stoppie/endo
 

progression my friend. If you cant buy a stabilizer, lower the front tire pressure to help stabliize the bike. and widen your clip ons too. you'll start to gain distance once you get more comfortable bringing it up at higher speeds. you dont need to go past 2nd gear for now and 1st gear should be plenty right now. Good luck. Stoppies are way more fun the wheelies. Or at least from what i remember lol it's been awhile since I've done them. Have fun

Re: stoppie/endo
 

The footbrake is by far the most important thing..lol.. Youre chasing those wheelies.. You should be poping the wheel up and then pushing the brake so it brings it right down.. Eventually, it'll become second nature to always be using it.
