I have crashed twice in about 20,000 attempts doing stoppies. The first nothing happened. The second one I broke my thumb. I think I want to learn to roll when I fall so I dont break/sprain wrists. What do u guys do who rock sik rollers 300+? Cause I know I'm going to crash more its inevitable to get that kinda feel on the bp. If u guys do this how did you learn? I was thinking do a handstand on the top of a park bench and trying to roll off of that first. Any ideas?

whats with this handstand stuff?
most people that flip stoppies say they didn't have time to react

Well when you fall u have time to put your hands in front to break your fall right? Trust me there is time. When your near the bp whats higher your head or butt? Hence the handstand simulates something close to the position your body will be in when you go over. Also a park bench gives you good height comparable to that of a bike.

Give it a try

Good luck. Get a spine protector and alot of leather.

EZEC

ummm don't put your hands out???

bro i dont care how many times you do flip it comes so quick. best thing to do is tuck and roll and get *** raped by your bike

CPStar

How do you suggest breaking your fall? With your face?

CPStar

hyperryder, so u do roll then?

Towlieee

most people would suggest a helmet.. but ya your face i guess

CPStar

Yea I had the bike hit me. I dont care about that. That didnt hurt at all. I just dont what to break my thumb anymore or my wrist for that matter.

Towlieee

your not gonna be saying you dont care about your bike hitting you when it slams into your back and puts you in a wheel chair

who gives a **** abotu your thumb and wrist, think about your LIFE!

jayrizo

i flipped on my 600rr and cracked my collarbone and broke my subframe and fairing stay i had no time to react

CPStar

True that!! Didnt hit me square in the back, so I cant relate. But I guess I can imagine

CPStar

I guess you put your hands out you break fingers and wrists, you dont put them out you break other bones

I think the best thing to do is get off the side of the bike if you can, if your rolling them with speed and you flip, let god be with you.

CPStar

I just know that pros who roll sik a** endos 600+ft have been down a lot. You dont get that good without having gone down a lot. They cant be breaking **** all the time. After awhile you got to just say f*** it and quit. That is if u keep breaking ****

When you are coming to the end of your stoppie and going kind of slow then yes, roll when you hit the ground. But if you are going like 50 and you grab a hand full of brake and go over, sorry... but there isn't much time to think and YES a 400 lb bike will do MAJOR damage to you so my suggestion is doing worry about tucking and rolling, worry about protecting yourself b/c a bike is going to be coming down on you shortly!

I say Karate Chop the ****** street in front of you so you dont hit it

u tuck and roll, hope for the best. but if all possible try goin to your left or right. So the bike won't land on you.

Or if your really good you can flip one so fast the bike flys over you.
