any body have any tips on riding a stoppie/nose wheelie. i tried it for a while today and the farthest i got was about 10 feet. i was in 2nd gear so i wasnt going that fast. i probablly need to practice more but got any ideas on how to do them better?

get as much foward weight as u can, sit on the handle bars and its kinda like a wheelie wen u get it far enuff up.....u can almost balance it kinda....but i cant do em em anymore cause my brake pads are worn out

Ride them on a slope so u can kinda glide down the whole thing without much effort

i had my dad stand by where i was going to do the stoppie and if i went over he would catch me so i could find the balence point

Keep your eyes on the horizon. Try doing them a little faster. I was coming into them in 4th and rolling about 100' a few years ago but haven't done any in awhile.

practice them on the down slope of a jump. until you can stay in the nose wheelie for over 15 sec, on your own with out your dad. worse comes to worse bail like Dana Creech in huevos 5.

Get used to balance..like whne ur going to far forward let off the brake a little bit n itll let u move forward...it just takes alot of practice.

Your prob not high enough. On my kfx I'd go down a hill and just lay on the brakes and I've had a couple straight up. Take a little pressure out of the front tires.

Speakin' of nose wheelies, my buddy did one in third gear pinned.. Flipped all the way over.. It was hilarious. Yes, I made sure he was okay before the laughing proceeded..
