The "all elusive Endo" (nose wheelie, stoppie...)
OK heres the question for those of you who murder and slay everyone on the front wheel...
How far should your roll be vs. your approach? 2x 3x 10x??
Seriously... I was rolling 170 from a 100 ft approach very consistantly the other night, and i kept having to fight the bike from looping... I know i am weak at getting it up high fast, so i am losing some distance there but after about 20 feet... i am straight at/slightly below BP (or so i think).
From a 100 ft approach what distance would be a competitive distance? By competitive I mean what people are winning endo comps with comparitively?

If you...
Can't match your approach - Need work
Match your approach - Good
Double your approach - Got them on lock, go try your hand at a comp.
Triple your approach - Leaving comps with some money in your pocket
I'm basing this off a 300ft approach.

Re: The "all elusive Endo" (nose wheelie, stoppie...)
From short approach (100ft) Ill say x2 is pretty good because u dont really have the initial pickup momentum that u would say from 300ft approach. The faster the bike is going, the harder u will be able to hit it. I call it "Hitting" the bike because when ur accelerating high in the double digit speeds, as well as triple digits, the bike picking up feels like ur hitting a wall of air that u have to fight. Kinda like being down behind the windscreen on the HWY at about 150mph and all of a sudden sitting up. The slower the speed, the less air pushing on the tail while it is up, allowing it to fall over the balance point and on top of the rider. (IF ur trying to roll distance) Basically what Im saying is that U are allowed more room for error while at higher speed. Steering, height adjustment & body positioning all are sensitive at slower speeds from short approach which usually mean ur dropping the tail or applying too much brake resulting in less distance. Most people dont even know how high the bike will truely go before it flips... the high rollers (if u will) do and thats what allows us to ''float'' or ''Poke'' them for such long periods of time. Long Stoppies are and ALWAYS and forever will be the most difficult trick to master on a sportbike motorcycle because it takes HUGE courage and a big set of ***** to put urself to the test, when u know the outcome if u make an error. 400lbs on the back of ur head feels like a dumpster being dropped from a 20 story building, this I promise. And theres NO guarantee that ull even get away from it if u go over. Mad props
