Stoppie Stoppie...

So after some more failed attempts at wheelies tonight I decided to try a stoppie. Well I Got it! Might of only got it up a couple inches, once maybe a foot but hey it's a start! once I get the stoppies down I'll have to try the rolling ones. But I don't know where to start with that. Right now I'm only going like 15-25km and hitting the stoppies at a standstill. But it felt awsome!!

stoppies are easy. Endos are hard. I'm only rolling them maybe a few feet at the most. But glad to see your having fun keep at it!

Re: Stoppie Stoppie...

it takes awhile to get a feel for it, there is a balance point just like wheelies, you will hit it and just float, keep practicing, hell its still my fav. thing to do. and im no where near where the pros are with there endos.

Re: Stoppie Stoppie...

Get a bicycle with good enough brakes to do stoppies and practice them..

I tried a bike at Costco that was under 200 dollars, sort of like a mountain bike / bmx bike from mongoose and it did easy stoppies. I could keep them up for 4 seconds at least and it's easy to hit the balance point.

I know it's not the same thing but it helps with balance..
