Re: Stoppie poll!!!! check it!

What is more impressive to me, and therefore what I would rather do are LONG-DISTANCE stoppies. As has been mentioned a thousand times over already, it's pretty hard to get distance w/o height which is exactly why DISTANCE rules for me. At 6'1" I can get my rear seat back up over my head, but I still can't brake 100 feet! But bro, when I see someone rolling anywhere over 200 feet; I am in awe. It's just a league of it's own.

Re: Stoppie poll!!!! check it!

No question its about height & style. I'd rather see a HIGH ***'d stoppie that came in at 30 mph and rolled RE=DONK=ULOUSLY high, than a 180 mph approach thats a gay height.

In FLA there were a group of guys (Joe Brown, Mellen, Gorka, kid from POB on 954 silver one) that were killin stoppies. Now those were the ****.

I just fell over in my chair!!! Did you say steering stabilizer? You mean you're not rocking loose head bearings, BALD a$$ (and I mean bald, like cords showing) front tire and no stabilizer. Suicidal *****.

No, seriously, I'm glad you said it first. Sometimes I find myself just staring at you VJoe. At first I felt funny, but now I know it's mutual.

Re: Stoppie poll!!!! check it!

My faverate ones are when your friend comes in at about 5mph, jabs the brakes, pops the rear up, bails out over the front and leaves the bike to fall over sideways on top of you.


Now those are pimp
