stoppie curious
I'm still working up the nerve to do a stoppie, will i'm more than willing to try, its just the way I am, but my concern is the front tire starting to wobble and eventually knocking me off my bike. Is there certain way to keep this from happening?

Re: stoppie curious
until you get a damper then just keep it under 50 and keep your arms stiff and you should be fine

Re: stoppie curious
Just make sure that you dont have a 12 bar on when you do flip it. It wont be pretty if you do.
