    I stopped stoppies

    I only tried once on my R1, and I may have got close, but the bike started to feel really unbalanced and wobble. Infact, when I came to a stop, it took a bit of work to keep the bike upright haha...

    I've seen a video clip of someone doing a rolling stoppie, when the front wheel becomes unbalanced and flips from side to side, finally throwing the rider off and stuffing up the bike. For the time being, or until I buy an "El Cheapo" bike, I'll stick to wheelies.

    Whats an Endo? Is that just a rolling stoppie? I have a great video of someone doing a rolling stoppie, and steering it 180 to face the way he/she came. Farking amazing and impressive. While I'm on the subject, anyone seen the video of the guy/gal sliding next to the bike on their feet, while the bike travels at speed down the road? Almost as if they are wearing roller blades, and controlling the bike from the side. Stunting has the ability to be really "cool", but the penalties for messing up during practice (an almost certainty) are too high for me.

    Well it's changed since I voted - I can do stoppies now and can get them to be about half a metre off the ground. Can't do rolling stoppies as yet.

    When suddenly...

    I'm at the lights when I hear the unmistakeable drone of an R1 winding down. Look left and this dude rocks up on his front wheel, rolling stoppie coming down gracefully at the white line.
    Light turns green and now it's time for a stand-up wheel-stand to the next set of lights.

    What a crazy bugger! ...wish I was him
    Keep it rubber-side down...

    Had MSTRS's XR250 our with hXc a little while ago, had it right up to the point where it wanted to duck under on itself, decided that was good enough and quit while i was ahead.
