steering stoppies?

i have whellies and stoppie variations on lock (one hand, cross up etc.) but my long stoppies arnt so long. my rear always swings one way or another. ive asked many people for advice and have tried many techniques but nothing is working for me, my longest one is about 50-60 feet. the bike is a tiller so i know i wont be rolling any record breakers but geting in the triple digtits would kick ***, to anyone who can roll em long, please help

When i do endos the back end of the bike tends to steer righ, why is that and how can i get it corrected. I hate when it does that! My endos would be much longer if the back end would stay in line..

i have the same problem, i can get em up to the balance point at 60mph, but it goes one way or the other, the only times it doesn't do that is when i lock up my arms , helps a lot, but im still not even close to rolling em consistent

This has been discussed on some older threads. Could be alot of different problems.

1. Slope in the road (most roads are angled for rain drainage)...
Find a big flat parking lot to try 'em in.
2. Keep your arms locked
3. Keep your weight off the rearsets
4. Lock knees on tank
5. Have a friend watch from behind to make sure your sitting straight on the bike.

hell no, you could definately endo that thing. Just go about 40mph squeeze the brake a little bit,(compressing the shocks down) give a little bounce with your *** on the seat. Squeeze the brake more and lean forward. always look forward, and lean. Make sure to lock everything down as well. arms, legs to tank.. etc..

try getting more of your weight over the front wheel, and make sure your forks are equal settings and height
