**Two Smoker** · 5th June 2004, 18:25

Hey everyone,

Well we have had heaps of stunting threads, and how high you wheelie is, and how WT and Death and amazing at wheelies.......

But lets talk stoppies...... how high can you get it???? I know i have got it up around the 3 foot mark infront of PT and Milky, and ive got it up around the 5 foot mark with some stoppies...

I was just wondering what peoples experiences with stoppies and rolling stoppies are...... I dont care if you have only done a 6 inch high one, or a 6 oclock death stoppie....... All experience wanted

Cheers everyone

Once I get rid of the stock rubber maybe I'll try it.

Dammit - I didn't think this thread was about stoppies!

Are we victims of sexual manipulation of thread titles?

I'm a long way off doing stoppies yet. Still getting my kicks from being on two wheels.

Can only do a stoppie when I actually stop. And yeah I can do it nearly high enough to scare the shit out of me. My fizzer is f(*&ing heavy to hold when it comes up. So its not much fun over about 2 1/2 feet...

Rolling stoppies are way beyond me - I just lock up the front wheel.

Guzzi linked brakes make it a bit hard for stoppies

Disconnect the rear brakes

Good to see St John nearby NordieBoy.

Yep,my stoppies suck.......

I have tried several times but I think that the Effie is a bit on the heavy side.....then again I might just be a bit on the chicken side ....

I seem to have trouble keeping the bike straight once the wheel is off the ground....

But when I manage to get one right it gives me a buzz for sure

Only ever got it right once but will keep trying !!.....At my age

doing this kind of thing badly leaves the youngies grinning.....

But fuck em I say !!....
