Temperature and Stoppies
#21
CrazyJ, sick endo. Sometimes it's not that I let the bike ride me, it's that I let the road ride me. I start focusing on the road and other things instead of the stunt. Gotta get over that.

**** dude I tried one at 32 degrees outstide. And I have a Pilot on My front rim.... And I had ben riding on the tire for anout 45 minutes.....
What was i thinking... That front end slid right the hell out from me.... I think I tried it one more time....... and hung it up..
I am not an expert but I am not doing it unless it is at least 50 degrees out side...
Im sure it is possible to do when it is colder out side... I just dont fell like meeting the pavement!!!

the only a reason a tire will do that is improper air pressure or un balanced tire! my tires never do that !

well im pretty picky about my front end setup and my tire has 20psi in it and was balanced to a T and cupped on the left side, its from the surface your practicing on, there is no perfectly flat road so if the road as a little crown to it, thats where your tire will form too

Thats a nasty stoppie J. only way i get that high is when the bike follows ontop of me.
I run a Michelin Piolot sport. They are right, warm that bitch up and it hooks up no joke. I won't run ne thing but.

ya, i know that causes it, but this bike that we blew the tire up on was a regular street bike, non-stunted. the rear tired was balanced with 32psi in it cause it was a daily "pretty" 929. i just don't like the way the tire has cloth-like cords that shread and get all around the axle when it blows. the video of that will be on our dvd.

50 degrees
Be careful!! I used to not really care what temp I was doing stoppies.....as long as the tire is warm right.....WRONG. It was about 45 last year in December....I had been doing stoppies for about an hour........nice and warm tire. The lockup came out of NOWHERE and I was on my *** before I knew it.....a night in the emergency room and 4 broken ribs later, I will never do stoppies below 50 again
