Stoppies! [ regular stoppie :: rolling stoppie ]

Be Prepared
a. stiffen the front suspention
b. warm up the front tire by riding around abit
c. make sure your on level good pavement with no dirt or oil

Regular Stoppie
a. practice by getting the bike up to about 30 miles per hour and using only the front brake stop quickly while keeping the rear on the ground.
b. move all the way forward in the seat gripping the tank with your thighs, and start braking quickly using only the front brake from about 30-35 mph (make SURE not to lock the front tire)
c. the forks should compress, then at about 10 mph start braking even harder.
d. the rear end should pop up fast, the bike should almost stop.
e. then let off the brake dropping the rear end as you come to a complete stop.

Safety Tip!: If the rear comes up to fast let off the brake to drop the rear because if you go too far you'll flip.


Be Prepared

b. warm up the front tire by riding around abit
c. make sure your on level good pavement with no dirt or oil

Rolling Stoppie
a. get up to about 50mph and practice stopping as fast as you can without
getting the rear end up.
b. again start all the way forward in the seat gripping the tank with your thighs. Start braking hard from about 50mph for the first couple of seconds brake hard enough to compress the forks. (make SURE not to lock the front tire)
c. increase braking significantly the back end should come up.
d. slightly decrease the amount of brakes so the rear end will stop riseing.
e. as you come to a stop release the brake at about 10-15mph to drop the rear or roll all the way to a stop.

Quick Tip!: The height of your rolling stoppie is controlled by the amount of brake you apply, the more brake the higher, and the less the lower.
