1)you get head shake because your forks are not at the proper angle so they don't track right ..
2)dirt bars help because you have more leverage and your arms act as a damper [not a good one though
]3) don't go any faster then about 45 with out a damper ..[some people do but your asking for trouble

Re: Noob Question (Stoppies)
Isnt the main thing
1. stay centered on the bike best you can.
2. lock your knees to the tank (when learning to keep less weight off your arms and keep you centered)
3. lock your arms straight best you can. Arms bent will result in counter steering left/right.
4. keep your head up and looking forward.
This of course is just what I’ve read/seen, since I cant roll ****. So maybe Im way of basis.

Re: Noob Question (Stoppies)
if u know anything about rolling stoppies than that video is a packed full of Capt. Obvious statements. Bill D and Kyle woods seem really forced actors and very very hard to watch. 
I bought it as a joke for one of my boys at stuntwars and go too drunk and didnt give it to him.
