Re: I suck.. noob endos

Now I know what my stoppies look like. I think mine might be a little longer now after 7 years but there not very good. It seems we need to go at least twice as fast and much higher on initial braking

you must first compress the forks, then give more pressure to lift if you are skidding

Re: I suck.. noob endos

i cant do stoppies for **** but my only advice is dont do them in random spots all over the lot.. set up a start point and see how far you progress each time

Re: I suck.. noob endos

Get a bit more speed and just before you pull the brake, bounce on the seat and load up the rear shock, then as the shock springs back up you hit the brake and it gives you a bit more lift and might stop the tyre skidding.

Also grip the tank with your knee's and lock your arms more, and when you start carring the stoppies longer you can then control the bike and stop it flicking to the sides.

Just practice as much as you can, and get a bit more speed

+1 and put all your weight on the clip ons so the triple is supporting you, and dont stare at the concrete look at forward to where your headed

bullshit. 2nd day of trying endo's you are off on a good start! just keep practicing, take a lil more runway/speed. get a good sport-tire and warm it up.. keep those arms locked and brakefingers smooth.. i'm on my 3rd day of trying endo's now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCI7N-VKVTc

Re: I suck.. noob endos

the way i do it is accelerate, so it unloads the front and loads the rear. as i let off the gas, use the loading motion of the front end as a way to start the rear unloading, and transfer weight, basically as soon as you start to pull in the clutch, also be grabbing some brake and transferring your body weight. keep your arms straight and look ahead, not down. looking down=flip.
