I've been riding for a while now but I have just started to get into the stunt scene! I have been doing some wheelies for a bit but am still working out all the kinks and stuff. As far a endos are concerned I get freakin scared out of my mind when the back end comes up!!! Can anyone give me some pointers on how to "overcome" my fear and what i can do to make it a little smoother??!?!
Anything could help thanx!

 

start slow. take baby steps

if u rush urself, ull eat sh*T!

be smooth on the brake, get ur *** of the seat and put ur weight onto the front end.

 

thanks for the info....... trying to work the brake is hard stuff to learn at first!!

 

practice.

 

Endos... Well, I suggest the following, as most of the crashes I see with people doing stoppies are because they do not carry enough speed.

Roll on the speed, and slowly grab the front brake. Do not upset the suspension. If you shock the suspension as you grab the brakes you can run into all sorts of problems. Rather slowly squeeze the brake to bottom out your suspension without letting it rebound. As you do this lean forward and get your *** off the seat and continue adding on the brake to get it to come up. As you get the rear tire higher it obviously takes less brake to keep it up. Keep looking forward.

Last but not least, don't go to a complete stop. When you're done rolling it you should have about 5mph left to work with. Going too slow starting them causes you to have to really yard on your brakes to get the rear tire up. But as soon as it's up if you're coming to a stop, the brakes become really efficient at keeping the wheel from rolling.

So get into the habit of rolling your stoppies rather than coming to a complete stop.

thanks for the link......good stuff

 

wreck a few times and realize you aint made of glass...bye bye fear

 

i bounce my *** down on the seat before i rock the brakes to roll the whole chassis over instead off compressing the front forks
