stoppie anybody???

I tried to search for this but didn't get any results so i dont know if the search just sux or what but sorry if this is asked a lot but can anybody help me out on how you perform a stoppie? I've tried but my back wheel has never even thought about comin off the ground and i saw this dude on a bike do one tonight like it was his job he made it look easy although im sure its not that easy but can anybody help me out some???

1. Start out at about 50mph+
2. Pull in the clutch
3. Lightly apply the front brake till the forks preload
4. Apply more force to the brake
5. Hope there's no sand.

Well the guy i saw do it wasn't goin fast at all maybe 15 20 if that he did it without a problem. Dont ya have to get somethin done to ur brakes?

I gave what you said a try and nothin happened except for my front brake locking up and started to go out of control so either my bike is to heavy or theres somethin else to it.

Ok i dont know why it doesn't work but i did excatly what that page said and i know im doing it right but my back end still doesn't even think of comin up???? THERE HAS TO BE A SECRET TO IT or my bike is just to damn big but that wouldn't make much since when i've seen many of 1000cc bikes and bigger doin em.

Didnt tryd it myself since i dont have a large bike yet but as far as it seems this one looks very educating about stoppie

I don't know, thats how I lift the rear. Let's see, I start at about 50, then apply some front brake till the forks compress. At this point I'm going 20 to 35, I apply a whole lot of front brake and I'm doing a stoppie. I'm guessing here, but it sounds like you didn't let the forks preload enough. I had the same problem when I first tried.

Well i'll try it today i haven't been able to ride my bike for a couple days cause i had to get new rear brake pads and the dumbass's at the shop ordered the wrong ones but i'm puttin the right ones on today and i'll try some more and let ya know how it goes... i think bouncin on the seat might help some since my bike is a little heavier than ur r6

damn stoppies are the shit i think i got it down now thanx for the help guys

Be extra carefull doing stoppies, unlike wheelies when you go to far you can just press the rear brake, when you go over your balancing point on a stoppie, you are crashing 100% of the time (unless you have skateboards attatched to your back so you can roll upside down and then make videos of you doing this selling them over the internet making lots of money to fund your stunting in which you trash many bikes but just buy new ones one after the other so that you can keep making videos)

hahahaha, one of the funniest things I've ever seen was some drunk moron who was trying to do stoppies on an SV650 on a REALLY lousy road bed. He tried 3 times to do one and didn't even remotely get the rear up.... so since he couldn't do it at slow speeds, he decided he'd do it at higher speeds. Back up the street Mr. Moron comes.... Locks up the front brake.... so up comes the rear end... 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 9'oclock, 10, 11, 12,.... 1,2,3. hahahaha. Mr. Moron goes all the way over and everyone who thought he was a moron (which he was) starts to clap and point and laugh (myself included). The moral of the story is.... Know where your limits are, and know WHEN AND WHERE is a good time to play around with stunts. ;)

i dont get mine but a couple feet off the ground thats good enough for me right now

so how does a endo work is it the same process except you do it before your about to stop? doesn't seem like you'd do it the same way

That's a good question. I belive that you release the brake a little after you get the rear up, so you keep rolling. However I have yet to do this so I'm not sure.

Wait, endo as in like a rolling stoppie??? I'm confused. In Pittsburgh we use endo/stoppie equally. :confused:

ya endo as in rolling stoppie

I thought a stoppie was rolling, and its just the better you are the farther you roll, and endo is just another word for it, maybe im wrong though.

Endo and stoppie seem to be interchangable. I just figured that he was asking about rolling endo/stoppies. :)
