that **** is off the hook
i was kinda tryin to reverse figure it out(does that make sense??)
im got the tru balance point in a wheelie pullin the clutch in a sittin there with no brake....***** maddd HIGH, most people loop out b/c of toooo much throttle, im figurin the same for stoppies, cuz everytime i feel it go high i just back out on the brake and shes back too normal as long as ur not on the brake u gotta b real high to flip ?????
sound like a reasonable theory??? lol

Your theory sounds reasonable....
Sometimes I see myself on camera rollin and I'm no where near them. Even if I roll mine to a complete stop and sit there balancing I don't even come close. A few times I've let off my front brake and I'm still not there. I've come to the conclusion it's because they're smaller than me:D I watch them all the time and they don't sit forward at all. When I roll, I sit up and lean forward. I've seen Chris and Chauncey's front tire lock up and slide at 30mph coming in. I can't afford for that to happen to me when I come in at over 80mph. They sit down on the seat and never lean forward...... hence the further you lean back the higher you can get the bike. Their balance point is different than mine.... and everyone is different. All I care about is taking the $$ for length.
That is my theory.

im thinkin its just like anything else... think a bout how long you did baby wheelies before you got one to where it would just stay there ( before rear brake days). just gotta get comfy with being higher... once you scare yerself once with yer height and nothin bad happens it will all just click.. next thing ya know yer bustin out 200 all day.. DAMN IT, now i wanna ride!

You also have to remember that each bike has a different balance point. I might feel better on a ZX and be much higher. I think the front fork damping may have something to do with it too. If your forks compress all the way then your bike maybe higher or lower. There are so many reasons.... so many variables.

I hear what bri's saying.
I can get my bike up there sometimes so high that I have to let off the brake fully and it feels like I'm going over, but I swear it's not as high as chris/chaunceys.
I've been keeping my *** in the seat instead of leaning forward, but the length is about 100-150 feet cause I dont' want to go over 40mph...And I just took a digger at about 50mph doing these and getting tank slap...efffin aye...talk about a confidence whack!!!
Just playing with them though. I want to roll forever...I don't care about distance anymore at the moment, just form...distance will come once the form is 100%. Then rolling 250+ feet will be SaWeeet at 50mph...
