Finally happened: Flipped an endo! Yep, always read about it, now I can tell you 1st hand. Out w/my friend, practcing everything. Trying to roll stoppies, was going 40-45mph, threw it in N, down to 40mph, up she came, not rolling. As I'm up, I think to myself "Nice one", then I felt myself going over. Bike only landed on my left foot, nothing broken, just real sore.
I think what I did wrong was I held onto the front brake intead of letting go while I was up? Any input would be great. Oh ya, thanks to CBROrange's frame sliders, all my rearsets and plastics are mint. My mirror, and front are a different story

Finally? You say that like you expected it. I never think about crashing, I just do it....lol!
Glad you're ok. Don't waste your time putting it in "N" thats just one more thing to make you loose focus. Glad you're OK!

Ya, I'll just leave it in gear next time. What I did was ease on the brake, and it just started coming higher and higher. No video 
Best part my friend was on his phone and he goes "Oh ****, I gotta go"

A couple times when he was real high up there, he hit the brake a little too hard and it looked like he was going to flip and everyone was like, man, that dude is gonna crash.. Well, the next one he did, he just grabbed a hand full of brake at 40ish and didnt roll it or anything, just flipped straight the hell over and that heavy *** katuna landed right on his upper back/head. Cracked his helmet wide open. He and the bike fared well, he just had a slight concussion and the bike got a small dent in the tank. I wish I had that on video.

you'll be alright, hop back on. glad to hear your ok though.
this is exactly why i don't do stoppies to a complete stop. i like to land and roll them out but most new guys think it's easier to drag hte brake and at the last minute pull the rear up and come to a complete stop. Then they end up falling over or whatever. try rolling it out, the rear should come up at 40mph then if it starts getting high when you let off hte brake the rear goes down and you ride off ok.

Damn, cant believe I missed this thread.. I was out tonight and Robyn told me about... Glad you're all right.. Flipping a stoppie a HUGE fear of mine. I've seen so many good friends flip right in front of me. Or right on me in Ice's case.
Now that your bike is crunchy, can I 12 it?

ok, get up your speed about 40, then lean forward and start grabbing brake and you gotta pull kinda hard at first and you'll feel the rear come up. once it comes up you can let some of the brake pressure off. the first time you start doing this you'll probably lift hte rear then drop it cause you'll let off hte brake totally. it's normal, you just gotta get used to how much brake pressure your bike needs. just work into it slow.
flipping my stoppie at 80 hurt like a **** nad i'm soooo glad that the 12 bar didn't come down and brake my back. that's what i worry about. that's the bad part about stoppies, you mess up and the bike is coming at you, wheelies at least you fall backwards and the bike is in front of you instead of behidn you coming fast.
