or try sittin on the handle bars to learn, it feels safer cause if your about to loop you can just hop off

Well a lot of it depends on your machine/brakes. My Banshee took a lot less effort because the brakes grabbed better. My EX needs brake pads so it's harder.
Anyway, with the Banshee I would just get going at the top of first gear and start to slow down using the front brake gradually. Once you are almost stopped grab the brake hard (but smooth) and slide forward on the seat shifting your weight forward quickly gripping the seat with your legs.
My EX is harder. I have really concentrate in order to get the rear wheels up. I have to be very gradual with the front brake because of my pads. However, I think if I change them my technique with the Banshee will work.
Now, the way I explain it won't get you rolling them far at all. I haven't worked on that yet.
Anyway, that's how I do them.

How a real man does a stoppie Well I usually start off by mentally preparing myself. That doesn't take long. Then I focus on my stopping point... where do I want to finish the trick. I rock my body weight forward... ease in the clutch and slowly stick my front foot in the wheel. Now as the wheel comes to a jarring holt... you'll feel some minor pain. That's normal... go with it. The rear of the machine will slowly rise. Right when it's about to flip over you'll see your shoe fly off in front of you...(you'll need to look carefully for it because at this time you've lost all feeling in your leg). Now when you see your shoe come off is when you "attempt" to pull your foot out of the wheel. (The first few times I failed at getting my foot free and I flopped it!) Now that your foot is free, you'll feel the front end roll out and the rear of the machine drop. Congradulate yourself on completing the stoppie and seek immediate medical attention. Good luck and break a leg!!

on my EX if i kinda "double pump" the front break it seems to help..to be truthful though i just bought my EX and the front breaks seem really weak they just dont seem to grab as hard as i would like them to, they have a real soft and sally feel to them..but stoppies can be done......good luck

When I first started doing them I had to double pump the brakes also. As I got better I didn't have to. The ex brakes are kinda weak but it can be done. The biggest part is moving your body weight forward I found myself leaning back not forward. After that its just about getting used to doing them. I will try to put my video clips back up on hereso you can see them.
