Whats happening to the Stoppie game?
Is it dying? Every comp I see now has been cancelling the longest stoppie comp and putting the target stoppie in its place. Is the longest stoppie comp going out of style or what??? I've been practicing my *** off and was super excited to try and compete at Stuntwars wisconsin tomorrow, and I get a phone call from a buddy saying they arent doing it anymore. I may be wrong, but it seems that it is by far one of the most watched events at Stunt competitions....even the dumbest spectator can understand how dangerous and how much skill that trick takes. So what's everyones thought on the subject....hope I'm not the only one that wants longest stoppie back!!!!

longest stoppie is the coolest, fastest ,most dangerous part of a stunt comp ...
if it goes away then stuntriding is no longer cool .

I agree.
I think they're trying to follow in the XDL foot steps. Longest stoppie requires a lot more room than target stoppie.
Our sport is losing its danger aspect.........I don't know if thats good or bad.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way....maybe if we show enough support for the event they'll bring it back...
I like the BMX flatland comment, so true...

We might wanna slow down on all these wheelies and acros too...you never know, someone might get hurt.
And as for the same people winning, who cares....they're winning because they are pushing themselves to be the best...I dont know about anyone else but seeing someone kick my *** at anything makes me practice my *** off to come back and do better.
