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?

 

I think they do 100 ft approach 300ft distance from what I gather or its like 150ft approach and 300ft stoppie

not sure though I probably shouldnt have even replied to the thread hahaha

 

Here is Jesse Toler from a 100ft approach I believe

Soooooooo high^^^^^^

 

floater

 

. .<----------- that blank is there cause i'm speechless

 

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.

 

Sick F$#K! Jesse is unreal.....

 

I'm stuck here

 

that video was sick !!!!!!!!!!!!! i just flipped a stoppie saturday and fractured my right foot.

 

You're doing pretty good man 170 off 100 is good. Last week Rowdy and Jesse said they were doing like 250-280 off 100FT.

 

sooo sick...
he was straight up

 

Most gangster looking ****......PERIOD!!!!!

 

that pretty much sums it up

 

Nuff said... I say this should be a "sticky"... anyone else?

 

Floating stoppies is the most gangster thing in this sport . So much risk involved

 

+1 i saw his video on his myspace when he rolled over 900ft (he ran outta road )

 

this video make me know just how much i suck !!!

 

does anybody have any footage of ewalr1? he is purdy nasty too.......

 

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 to all the big rollers out there who roll tall everytime they ride... Jesse Toler, Mitch Adams, Bill D, NME, Da Liks, Matt L, Eddie from Macon, Crazy J, Wade 518, Dub C, Insane J, Sick Trick Rick, John Legion and so many more... Nothin but love for my nose coaster crew! Just Remember this... U mess with the bull, U get the horns...
