well i was in front of my house today practicing how to do stoppies, why? i dont know, i got board and figured i would start slow, an easy 5-10mph. i slowley rolled up and hit the front break, then, the back wheel came up , i think at least 2ft. man, it was thriling but fun.

now i just want to get to the point where i can hold the stoppie for a few seconds and bring the back wheel up to about a "2" O-clock position...

any pointers.?

:luck: with all that. You may need it. Just try to stay out of the oil in the middle and watch out for those tar snakes.

Yeah be carefull and get somebody to roll vid of you doing it. For 2 reasons... one so you can view yourself and learn what you need to do better, like body position or whatever. Plus if you biff it bad and go down at least it will be on video!!!

yeah, i will get my brother to get it on video. sucks, I started doing them "the day i posted this thread", since then, it hasent stopped raining.

Ya... well I know quite a few times when tape was rolling and somebody (Twisty ) goes down but was out of the range of the camera!! :damn:

Anyway, you can also watch stunt videos as a study guide. But you need to make sure you get up on the balls of your feet and get your chest weight forward... at least over the triples.... you can see all of this in most videos or the same stunt.
