Stoppie Suggestions?! Why do mine hurt so bad?

[Red1]

Ouch!!!

Glad to hear you are ok. That is probably why I am 0% interested in learning how to do stoppies.

Stoppies=ouch...I dont think any other trick has bitten me more then stoppies

Which is also a coincidence.. im more of a "wow that was cool i think i can do that" kinda learner

It's weird ... when I do them I accelerate up and up and as soon as the momentum feels like it's there , it's a quick roll off the gas and on the front brake real quick in a smooth aggresive tone. Make sense? All in one motion ...no letting of the gas letting it slow down and then grabbing the front brake, you gotta get it right when you stop your accelerating and the bike will come up smoother. It is hard to describe....

Can you explain the "pop"? My method is to apply medium pressure on the front brake to shift the weight to the front wheel and compress the forks then pull the brake harder till it comes up. But i cant really roll it well.

Im always better at limited approach with a very sudden pop up, and I will actually roll father and smoother then if I give myself unlimited approach...

Yeah mine is like a change from 1st to 2nd and like 2 secs later I do the whole pop up thing. I did that sooo much that , that was my pattern ... my smoothness came from that. If I have unlimited approach is really ****s with me!

how many fingers do you use to engage the front brake?

RITA was as large as her name suggests....

Angela, hottest older chick ever. Did we ever get a number on her age?


Oh and how many fingers? Rita uses 4, plus her thumb. ACtually its more like fisting the brake lever...

ohh SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! ( i know that's what you where telling yourself Mofo!) LOL

[Thatgirl]

I am actually curious to know how above ended...with the position of your body looks like the wrists are going to absorb most of the shock and I can't tell if ur wearing a lid...

We know Snotty is aight...

Conclusion of that pic please! Who knows could come in handy...lol
I have fallen like that alot when I was learning how to snowboard and wasnt going as fast , didnt fall from as high and fell on snow/ice which is supposed to be more forgiving than cement and it was sensitive for WEEKS!!!.. so do tell my friend...

[JohnnyP636]

Conclusion = Ouch.....Yes it hurt, first your wrists palms take a beating, then your elbows, knees, etc.....And if your not quick just when you think its over, the bike comes down ontop of you. That one wasnt so bad thou, you can see Im already getting off the bike, so I didnt get caught up in the bike on that ones....Those are the bad ones, the ones where you cant get off the bike, get tangled up on it and get crushed..
