How to do a Rolling Stoppie

Basic Requirements
To do this stunt, you will need a good front tyre. The make doesn’t matter as long as it sticks. It needs to have the proper air pressure in it, and you need to have forks in good working order. Also note, if you still have the bike in gear, it will wear on your steering head bearings, and make a not to lovely noise when the rear tyre hits the ground. However, it makes less noise if the bike is in neutral.

Getting Started
What you want to do is to get the rear off of the ground without shocking the front tire. You need to get your speed to whatever you want it, pull in the clutch and down shift to first, then squeeze the brake lever. You should feel the bike nose dive. It should dive smoothly, not all at once. Keep in mind you do NOT want to shock the front tyre, you want to transfer the weight of the bike onto the tyre smoothly. When the front end is down you will want to roll into the brake lever. When I say "roll into" I mean you should squeeze on the lever progressively harder and quicker.

You will feel the rear end lift. Now smile :)

Suggestions
The Rolling Stoppie is easiest to do at about 40mph or so. At that speed you have enough time to transfer the weight to the front tyre without losing so much speed that you have nothing left to lift the bike with. Best bet is to practice it several times soft and easy. It’s more important to be smooth on the brake lever than anything else. A quick grab at the lever when the tyre is warm will usually get the rear end up, but it will be much harder to control / ride out.

Make sure you are forward on the seat, and your crotch is up against the tank. Once you figure out how to work the brake lever smoothly, you can add speed and rear tyre height to it and ride them for longer. I will warn you though if you get it up too high while going fast (over40mph) the front tyre will try to tank slap and that’s a bad thing. If you started a stoppie out at 80mph then the rear tyre would not be coming off of the ground until about 65mph, get it?
Make sure you are transferring the weight onto the front tyre smoothly. It is much easier to control that way, and you can work you way up to better and better stoppies with less fear of crashing.
Be forewarned, sometimes the tyre will lock up on you. Sometimes even after the rear tyre is off of the ground. It is no big deal if you just roll off of the brake lever. Smoothly. If you drop the brake lever and tense up you will cause yourself problems.
