Stoppie run up/speed questions

Hey, I've heard about some guys that are able to pull 1000+ foot endos and I'm wondering what sort of rules do they have to follow when they do these.\
Do they have a set run up, eg. 300 feet or 500 feet? And about how fast can you get going in these set distances, how fast are the guys going when they pull a 1000 footer?
Just curious

1000+foot stoppies ..arn't for everyone! i dont care what anyone says , you will get hurt learning stoppies especially if u want to roll long ...the key to rollin long with limited approach is height ,when it comes to balance point stoppies there is is no point of return ....think of rollin a stoppie over @60mph ?

there are no pointers people ask me all day ,and its just something u have to learn by yourself!!!!!!


Good luck

Re: Stoppie run up/speed questions

300ft approach is where it's at nowdays. Got to be extremely high and smooth, I flip a lot doing them just because of how high you must have them (anyone that went to Lakeland for the comp knows), lol. Like CrazyJ says you have to learn them, no matter what people say there's no way to completely describe them.

Re: Stoppie run up/speed questions

great, sound like I need to invest in body armor when I start to learn them, and maybe a spare body cast..
