stand up stoppies

[shaolin]

can any one here do stand up coaster stoppies, if so could you give me some tips, is it just all strength or are there certain thing i should be doing, there bloody hard:D

I don't know I don't waste my time on things like that.

i wouldnt really call it "wasting your time" doing small stuff like that can get you extra points in an fmx contest and it improves your front brake control

definetly not a waste, laerning to balnce the bike on either wheel is great for your bike control skills.

well i just stand up and lean back and hit the brake pretty hard :D
oh yeah try going at slow speeds at 1st

Is a stoppie like a nose wheelie in austrailia??
I think they are cool and there actually really fun.
Best advise... Crash couple times, you'll get the idea;)

u sure crashing is the best advice?

[cr250xr50]

Well what im saying is that you can learn from ur mistakes

[crustyfmx250]

true. once u crash on something, (if its not too painful) u are generally able to push yourself further after that, bcos u know where the limit it

i went riding today and tried some stand up stoppies again but so much force goes through your arms, i can do them pretty good sitting down but i think i might just need to get stronger to do them standing up
