steering damper for endos

i'm rolling my endo's for a decent length, but about every other one starts to wobble when i'm up....why is this? tire pressure or do i need a steering damper?

well i can't really do the low pressure thing, bc the only place i can stunt is like 10 minutes away...so it blows...but lately i've been working on one handed endo's...also no footed...taking my feet off during...when i do the one handed, i start out with my hand already off, is it harder that way? or would it be harder to take your hand off while your rolling it?

seriously if you roll with out a damper your taking a big risk. one day one of those wobbles will turn into a full bown tank slapper. trust me it happens. and if your doing them one handed i would definatly get one.

yeah id spend money on a ohlins or possibly scotts.... those ***** are stiff as hell!! i bought a daytona and they are not nearly as stiff as the ohlins or scotts but they do the job... i hardly get any wobbles now... i still do have some but they arent major.

About $400.

Really, you don't need either of those unless you roadrace. Just get a less expensive one and crank it up to max damping. You don't want a Scotts unless you do a lot of twistie riding -- there are shitloads of settings for it that will confuse most anyone.
