Bro, do you ever go sideways while doing a stoppie (I mean when you just wana go straight but the back end swings around).

I used to do stoppies dead straight but ever since I started thinking about turning, I can't do any straight stoppies! The rear always has to swing around so I can't do any decent speed ones anymore! I am sure I am unintentionally pulling on one of the bars more than the other one while grabbing the brake but I can't get my head around it. At the moment I can do 1 good stoppie (approx 10+meters long) out of 10 go's. Fuckin anoying is what it is!

Got any tips for me?

Are you keeping your head up and looking straight ahead? That's what fixed it for me when my stoppies started swinging around.

Hmmmmm, will try that. Cheers! Though I think it's something else that's wrong...

The same thing happens to me when I do it on the push bike too.

You need to look as far straight ahead as you can, its not that you are pulling on one bar more than the other(coz some...not me....can do it with one hand) its a balance thing, unlike wheelies u cant shift ya weight, so u need to make sure you are as upright as poss and ya head is straight, thats about it...my bike always used to swing to the left and a mate told me to look straight ahead, vola nice straight stoppies. im keen to have a go at a one hander but i wimp out every time i think about trying.

The front still shows a couple of mm unused,

It should, with the profiles on most of the current front tyres I think you will be on your ear before you get to the edge of a front.
