not bad ,,but it dosent look like yer throwing yer weight forward to compress the forks right before you grab the brake......

really looking nice man. i just started my stoppies to roll farther too. i probably got 50-60ft now.

i need to go out and practice like you do, i maybe do 3 stoppies a day when i am out riding, so i know i am nowhere i should be at.

day 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ASCybjiWvY

went to my normal lot and there was a statie sitting in the entrance.. so i had to move the practice elsewhere.. i am pretty happy with where i am at now with my stoppies.. i dont think i'm going to be pushing them much further.. i am going to take the rest very slow.. i'll put up another video when i get a lot better...

thanks for the tips!!! the one that helped the most was definatly the bouncing technique

get that camera man out of in front of you....dude you will go down doing stoppies....everyone does...don't take out two people...that guy standing there is in much more danger of getting hurt by the bike if you go over.
