Learn How 2 Stoppie UR Bike

While on the ride apply the brake smoothly

50 kmph stoppie - sliding/skidding may occur in initial try.
10 kmph stoppie - Better trick for initial bikers

I prefer that u better start with the second one(10 kmph). Because at 10 kmph, we have a lot more confidence. And it's much

safer. Doing it slowly and smoothly are the most important thing.

You grab the front brake slowly at first and apply progressively more brake until the front end is fully loaded (put ur bdy

weight 4wrd, push those discs).

Loading the front forks is important, because it transfers the forces from the bike's weight onto the front before you bring

the rear up. You can't just get a stoppie by instantly applying full front brake! That'll just slide the front (even at 10

mph if you pull too fast).ages.

Don't use any rear brake and don't expect the rear brake to keep you from going over like it does with wheelies. In fact, if

you apply the rear brake while the rear wheel is up in the air, it'll make it harder to balance when you come back down

Balancing is pretty important to pull off the trick without embarassment. Usually, a fouled stoppie will simply make you put

your foot down. Keep the bike in 1st gear, because you'll want to accelerate once you come down to stabilize the bike (and

leave the spectators behind !).

ready to go again! Landing a little crooked, but still perfectly balanced looks even cooler for some reason.

There are more subtle tricks like standing up on the pegs a little before braking to make it last longer, but I wouldn't try

that for starters.

Have fun and ride safe always!
