how do you do a stoppie???
this question is spawned from meansgo thread about stoppies. so i thought i would take it to the stunt section and let the pro's tell it. not that i have the ***** to try it or anything. but how would one go about learning this cool little trick? [&:]

RE: how do you do a stoppie???
depends, usually start out on a 20 inch bmx freestyle bike. move up tp a mountain bike. mabey a honda xr50 and then go big or bust, if you dont have the ***** and the acception that you can and will go down. dont do it.
are you refering to a nose wheelie (riding the front wheel to a stop) or a stoppie/endo (bringing the *** end up while the bike is stopped) ?

RE: how do you do a stoppie???
how would you bring up the back of the bike if your not moving?but i guess i meant nose wheeli (riding the front wheel to a stop) and i have tried that on my 20inch bmx mega times and was not very good at it to say the least

RE: how do you do a stoppie???
as i looked at it for years
riding the front wheel till you come to a stop = nose wheelie
going about 15/25 mph and grabbing a hand full of front brake and shifting your weight forward causing the rear of the bike to lift in a stopped state, not moving or rolling forward = stoppie/endo, and that pretty much how you do it with a little compression on the front as you squeeze the brake.

Not that I am a expert but does it help to push your weight down on the pegs and load the shock, then move forward as you grab the brake. Then the rebound helps a little to bring up the rear.

RE: how do you do a stoppie???
it helps on a dirtbike, ive pre loaded my street bike a few times doing it and it dont really make that much of a difference. its more so in the front. it helps to compress the forks a little before you hammer down on them.
but if youve ever felt a stunt bike front end, its stiff as hell and i would imagine easier to do it on a stiffer front end. i should try it on a stock suspended bike and see if its like jumping on a marshmallow.

RE: how do you do a stoppie???
i did do it on a stock dirtbike. ha haa lets just say by the time it compressed enough for the rear to get up, and the balence point was a little over and the forks started to rebound. it was the slowest jump over the bars i had ever done. i think my brother even deflected the seat and put the bike back down on its tires before it fell over. haa haa good times.
