long stoppies, how high is enough?
I streamed some stoppies out yesterday and got to 200 feet. I ride a 01 929. After watching the videos of it, it sucked. I can steer it straight but my height sucks. I know now that the only reason it was going that far because I was going like 70mph +. I've seen videos of Joe Brown, Lee Houston, and Nasty from PBR, All of those guys are sky high and rock them far. How high do I have to be to be at the balance point on a 929, and how much braking is used when you are in that high of a position going the distance? I also heard that guys are ripping stoppies up at 50 and going 300+. Need some help.
