How to stop long stoppie drifting?
I have been working on getting my stoppies longer. I know more speed means more distance. I'm doing them at about 50 now. Any advice on how to steer them better as the speed increases.

Thew gave me this advice.
1. look way down ahead of you, makes everything seem like it is going slower and you don't really focus on what is going on.
2. if you feel it drifting to the right or left, I think he said to lean on that side of the bars. Your body will want you to do the opposite, but you are supposed to do that, I think.
3. get them high. He told me that the higher they are the easier they are to steer.
I think that is what he said. It was at Glenwood and several beers and kegs were involved that night.

ya, gimix tells the truth cause i was there buggin him about it.
You push the bar in the direction of the drift: drifting right, push on right clip on.
and ya, work on getting them higher and cleaner and they'll roll further. I had that problem of just adding more speed to get longer and that bit me in the *** and now i have trouble with them. Rick from PBR rolls some crazy *** long stoppies at only 40mph. i think he's in the 300 range with near no speed. it's so awsome cause his body position is perfect. Try getting ahold of him on here.

alright, some of this was upclose and personal so it was pretty cool cause you were rocking damn near vertical and stopped about 1-2 feet in front of me.
and i don't know if you remembered me but i met you at the party and i was rocking on the orange and blue bike in the freestyle comp.

sweet, ya, i want to go to texas but i'm not sure if i'll be there.
wetpavement from the boards is having a show here in illinois and he wanted me to go and it's a shorter trip so i might hit that up. i really want to hang with the pros and go down tehre, but with that many people i'll get my *** whooped.

...and make sure you use a dampner. Finally had a head shaker that I couldn't recover from today because I still have not got a dampner (like an idiot). Was funny though because I was up and standing as the bike slide up to me.
Messed up my $1.39 chrome paint job. bummer.
