Stoppies Galore!
Stopies are pretty straightforward, you drive on your front wheel for as long as possible. You can pull off a stoppie in three easy steps:
- Ride forward fast.
- Slam on your front brake.
- Ease up on the brake and keep your balance as you roll forward.
Step three is the most important as the first two steps are the same for a stoppie as they are for flying over the handlebars and eating pavement. The faster you go, the longer your stoppie will be. You also have a better chance of wiping out based on your speed. A perfectly executed stoppie looks awesome and will impress, but a front-flip over the handlebars will not impress anybody and instead of riding home with a hottie on the back of your bike, you will be riding in the back of an ambulance so be careful. For a pretty scientific rundown of stoppies check out wikipedia’s stoppie page.
