Re: stoppies

get as much weight on the frontend as possible.tap out second gear,lean a little over the front while gripping the tank,start braking.once you feel the frontend start to dive give the seat a little bounce with your ***.adjust the height once it's up with the brake.get used to snapping the *** end up quickly.thats the key!good luck

Re: stoppies

Re: stoppies

Here was the learning process for me. Go back in forth up the street trying just stoppies not rolling stoppies..STOPPIES. DO that every practice session till you can get maximum height on slowest speed possible. You will be amazed at how high the bike will go at such a slow speed. Then once your an OG at stoppies, then try to roll them. Go like 30-40 and just see if you can get the back tire off the ground without shitting your pants. Then practice, practice, practice, and when you think you've practiced enough go back to your spot and practice again. You dont get good practicing in front of everyone on city streets. Go to an isolated area where noone is watching and spend 2 hrs back and forth up and down the street. After a month they will finally click.

Re: stoppies

The reason you dont see a lot of people doing them is because a lot of work and crashing goes into them. I just broke my thumb from working on them. I can roll them max 150ft. The guys that roll them 300-1000ft have bowling ***** for *****. Cause when you hit the balance point, u got to check your pants....

Anytime man!! It was a long process for me. You will get it. You just got to push yourself a little bit more each time. You have to get comfortable with each new height you hit. Thats why I say master the stoppies cause you will get comfortable with the height. You will probably go over once maybe twice but if its just a stoppie you will get up and just be embarrassed and be happy that you finally know what it feels like to go over the front. But its the height you have to get yourself familiar with before rolling them. The broke control will come with thousands of attempts. I have done ~20,000 attempts. The pros ~100,000+. You dont get it in one day.
