Riding Skills: How to do a stoppie

All credit for the following info must goto: MCN

Otherwise known as the endo, the stoppie is an underwhelming trick
that’s hard on your bike and fraught with danger and potential
embarrassment. So let’s get on with it.

1. Take the bike to 20mph
Grip the tank with your knees in readiness

2. Pull in the clutch
Keep your upper body, arms and shoulders rigid, and lift your bum just out of the seat

3. Apply the front brake
Pull the lever progressively to make the forks dive

4. Lift the back wheel
Once the forks are nearly
at the bottom of their travel, the rear wheel will be light – nip the
front brake that bit extra to lift it in the air.

The rate of braking controls the height of the stoppie. The harder you squeeze, the higher it goes.

5. Control the roll
The airborne wheel will tend
to wander left of right as you roll forward – correct it by making
small inputs in the direction of the drift.

Don’t look at the floor – lift your head up and look forward.

6. To turn it into a 180
If you want to convert your stoppie into a 180 you need to lift the wheel very high at the final moment before turning.

Now if you want to rotate rightwards, steer the front wheel left. This will bring the rear wheel round through 90 degrees.

Gripping the tank, use your thighs and your existing momentum to
direct the bike through the final 90 degrees and prepare for landing.

7. Counter-balance
On landing, lean quickly in
the opposite direction to the one in which you were rotating to avoid
overbalancing and falling over.
