What size sprocket do I need for stoppies?
I have mastered power wheelies and would like to learn stoppies... What kind of sprocket do I need for stoppies.
Do I need to put a sweat band around my brake resivor???
Is the nike sweatband better then the addidas?

Re: What size sprocket do I need for stoppies?
thats exactly how u do it.......but make sure u have a good amount of speed built up
1-make sure u are at top of 4th or 5th gear(speed makes them easier,just trust me
)
2-yank on the front brake as abruptly and hard as possible
3-make sure u have a friend filming your progress for us other stuntlife squids
(and u def. dont need a damper to do endos)......

duct tape a 55 lb. dumbell to the front and cut your subframe to only hold the riders seat, then add 15" of length to your brake lever with round aluminum stock and mount it on you left clipon, that way you get the proper leverage to pull it up with your right hand.
Also, take your rear rotor and caliper off, you don't need those anyways, then drill holes in the spokes of your rear rim to lighten it up.
Now take all the fork oil out of the forks and swap it out with liquid mercury!
That MIGHT make the balance of the bike far enough forward to be able to pull a stoppie up, after that, it depends on your hoodscoop how far you go!

Re: What size sprocket do I need for stoppies?
Ok time for a serious note
When practicing stoppies from a 150 ft approach..
First gear is too low and tachs out around 120 feet, but second gear is too high, to make decent power within 150 feet.
Soo, even tho this thread was obviously a joke, there is something worth discussing there. What is the best size to top out at 150 feet?
