grab a handful of brake. Remember when doing a regular stoppie you need a lot of initial brake. The highchair is the same, grab the brake and then letof a little to keep it rollin'

when i do my highchair stoppies at first i had a super hard time getting it off the ground.... i realized the thing that was holding me back was i wasnt leaning forward..... after i leaned forward it came up.... as for keeping it straight i havent had a problem.... you have a damper right??!?!?! i think it helps alot.... also if you go faster it should go more straighter unless the wind catches you or something.

in a highchair all your weight is on the front use that to your advantage. get on the brake hard it wont lock up. then let off when it is in the air..

I just always feel like I'm gonna slide off the tank and over the windshield...

Just need more practice and confidence I guess.

how do they hit the windshield? do you have them out in front or what? they should be pressed against it before you even try to grab the brake.

that's how....i paid like 2$ for a bunch of it at a local parts store, it's just pipe insulation. I zip tied it on. Also, you need to grab the brake kinda hard at the begining to get the rear raised, then you ease off.
