stoppie school 101
.....back to the drawing boards, havent practiced stoppies for 2 yrs, heres a pic of day 1.
gettin em up much higher then the old school worm burners! figured out the ol stearing em thing too!
some were a little bit higher, this is what was captured with the ol digi!
I never rocked high stoppes cause I thought the 954 was sick on getting headshake and I never had a dampner..........welp this year with the help of SCOTTS PERFORMANCE and the dampner they gave me, getting the rear tire up to Joe B. style, I feel no fear! The 954 is BADASS all around! (except for the tiny tall tank)

Re: stoppie school 101
I haven't done a stoppie since August where I almost flipped it. I had the back wheel at 12 and my feet were off the pegs...I think I **** myself 
: We got it on video too, I need to get it from my friend. I need to get back on them!

What is "the game of trust"? Is that from Milton and Bradley? Do they have it at Wal-Mart?
p.s. Seriously, what do you mean?

basicly you flip your stoppe over, but they catch you so you dont crash. it helps you feel that balance point and lets you know where the highest point in your stoppie will be, before it flips!
ive never tried it, but sounds like it would work, and I hear thats how all the florida boyz do it!
