AKA: endos, stoppies

Yippe yay.

 

Cant seem to do them yet, i try but i better grow some berries before i try again. I have a feeling the first time i do an endo it wont be on purpose.

friend of mine did an endo recently, broke his wrist, and really banged himself up.. he was lucky.

 

GSXR750s are awesome

 

Well i better correct myself...I can do mini stoppies as of yesterday. The rear wheel comes up about 2 - 3 feet but i cant balance and am too chicken to take it up any higher. Its a start though. I figured out what my problem was, I was gripping the brake lever too far in...i moved my hand out and gained some leverage. Its helping my stopping too.

 

cant do 'em on the motorcycles.

however on my mountain bike , and my bmx bikes....i own stoppies. hang-5's too.

 

Are you crazy you should only pedal your bike! J/K
Never tried anthing like this on my MC never had enough guts to try. To who does.

 

it seems as if a lot of you in this motorcycle forum really dont know waht the hell you guys are really talking about or really need some good advice. STOPPIES and ENDOS are two diffrent worlds. Dont think that if you can do a stoppie that you are even close to being able to do endos. Ive been riding for 3 years before it became a fashionable thing to do and I have taken a lot of falls to become the rider I am today.

STOPPIES: can be done even at 5mph, and you can have your bike straight up90 degress, its all about shifting your weight!

ENDOS: im not going to lie too you, they take some *****. the minumum speed you should be trying these @ is atleast 15mph otherwise your going to roll like 3 inches. what made me good at endos was going really fast on the freeway and after i would exit 35mph would feel really slow so i had the ***** to actually hit the brakes at that speed, or else if you just got on you bike and your going 35-40 mph your going to freak out ! take it one step at a time build up your speed gradually. also practice as much as you can, i would try endos at every stop now i bust the going 80mph+ on the freeway. im not being cocky, please believe me, take my pointers and you will soon be a stunt man of your own

 

i watched some guys in an industrial park by my dad's office doing 100+++ wheelies and then going into endoes... it was SICK! they are all pretty good (30 of them or so) they have a website. http://www.laylowriders.net
