Talking Brake or not?

So many people ask if you use your clutch or just power up your wheelies a figured I would post a new poll. Do you use your brake when you are doing a stoppie or do you just shift your weight as far forward as quick possible?

:

P.S. I know I spelled brake wrong in the poll so eat me.

P.S.S. This post was also meant as a joke.

That's how I do it. Be careful when adjusting it, I threw the back end over the top of me and shattered my neck last night. I am back stunting now though.

bikefreak, thats pimp. Just remember when you change your oil, always check your flux capacitor! I can't stress that enough! For some reason they leave it out in the manual.

Re: Brake or not?

I have such a pizza plate sprocket that if I let off throttle too fast bike goes into an endo by itself. I am considering to put a smaller sprocket so I don't loop any of my endos...
