I have a quick question for you stunters.

How do you get traction to do stoppies? Everytime I try, I just lockup the front tires:mad: I can do mean stoppies on my 900rr(streetbike) so I know how to do them (unless it is way different on four wheels??) On my bike, all I did was put on S.S brake lines and BAM the rear end just comes up!

I tried to do it in front of my house and it worked great, but once we got out to where we were riding I just kept sliding. Hopefully it was the terrain and not me!

Any advice on the best/safest place to ride when practicing wheelies/endos.
Blaze1 up!

Im not very good at stoppies but i can get the back end up somewhat i just get on fairly hard ground (hard pack dirt or something) and throw my weight forward and lock up the brakes

Yeah, I was doing nice ones in my backyard once I got home...I think it was just because the dirt was so soft where I was last weekend!
Thanks for the reply!
