Lowering bike helps endos?

Anybody seen if it's easier to roll them out with a lowered bike? Reason i ask is it seems harder to roll em on a dirtbike, maybe due to the higher ride height??? Apply the priniciple in reverse and it would seem that lowering would help out.

lowering the front would help
overall a high center of mass helps for doing wheelies and endos. The reasong it's hard to endo dirt bikes is the brakes suck

^^ True.

Think of an SUV versus a car. Which is easier to roll?

Another reason dirt bikes are more difficult would be traction.

Maybe i should have been a little more clear, i understand that intially it will be harder to get it up. But once you're around the balance point wouldn't it be more stable?
