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.

A stoppie is when you are at a complete stop and then the rear tyre lifts off the ground. This is very tricky and not a good thing to try if you are new to stunting. Usually a stoppie happens when you are not going fast enough. 25 MPH or less.




An endo is when you get the rear tyre in the air and it rolls. This takes some practice. Here are some pointers.



Pratice.... Ride at 45 mph and then pull your front brake and front brake only very hard. Odds are you won't flip over. You will just stop very fast. Practice this a lot.



Now you are a little used to the front brake power. Try this now....



1) Find a road with no traffic & that is not slick.



2) Ride at 50 mph.



3) Grip the tank with your knees hard, lean a little forward.



4) Shift into neutral.



5) Apply small amount of preasure on front brake.



6) Now, this is the hard part. Apply a lot of preasure on the front brake, feel the balance of the rear end over the front tyre.



7) Continue doing this until you feel comfortable.



Soon, you will get to a point when you feel like you can let off the brake and still roll in the air. Remember this point. That is the point of no return. It is very hard to get back from there. I have rolled many endos over and it takes a lot of practice. If you are not willing to lay down your bike, then don't do it. The odds of you messing up are good. You will most likely be fine, but it does a lot of damage to a bike. Happy endoing.

Now that you have the bike of your choice and are all geared up, you would certainly love to be adventurous with your bike and impress your friends and other motorcyclists.Motorcycle wheelie is the art of riding your bike with its front wheel in the air. The wheelie is the easiest yet most complicated motorcycle stunt.Here is a small step by step guide to prepare yourself along with safe guards and how to perform a wheelie.

Step 1: Get your bike ready.Since you are new to doing wheelies, you don't want to destroy your good looking bike, do you? A suggestion - get the panels including the head lights removed while practicing wheelies. Check all the working parts of the bike like clutch plates, brakes, throttle response etc.
Step 2 : YOU get ready!You got your bike ready, now its your turn! It is always advisable to wear safety gear while performing stunts. I don't think you want to be in bed for one month. Get the basic gears if you cant afford the complete safety gears. Get your self an ISI mark Helmet, elbow & knee guards, motorcycle gloves with carbon knuckles and covered shoes. Lastly choose a long stretch of an open road away from public.
Step 3 : Wheelie Time!For a wheelie you need to get used to the bike like handling, weight balancing etc. You can easily pop up a wheelie at a rpm range of 5000 – 6000 rpm. For the first, try to rev your bike to around 5000 rpm and leave the clutch fully. This will induce a torque and make the front wheel rise up in the air. If it doesn't, go for higher rpm.
Step 4: Confidence is the keyOnce you are used to the popping up the front wheel and gained enough self confidence you should practice the way of bringing the front wheel down so that you are not slamming it down. For this you may pop up the front wheel and release the throttle smoothly, thereby restricting supply of petrol to the engine. If you do this in one go then you will slam the front wheel harder. Practice this technique to save your wheel from getting bent.
Step 5 : Go all the wayNow you have learnt how to pop up and bring down the front wheel, you will have to learn how to continue with the wheelie for a longer distance. For this, when you pop up the front wheelie as explained before and when your wheel is coming down apply the same technique, i.e. pull the clutch and rev and leave the clutch again in one go, just like before but just that your wheel is in the air. Practice it. You will master it.



Practice makes a man perfect. I am sure you will be able to do it.TIPS:1. Select an open area without public. You may practice it on an empty ground too.2. Practice Normally, Don't hurry up.3. Performing wheelie on the Public Road is illegal.

Burnout

:::::::STEPS:::::::

:::::::::TIPS::::::::::
1. Do not let out your front brake until you have the clutch pulled in again.2. Lean forward just a bit, but not too much.3. If you do a burnout on a paint strip, it does less damage to your tyre and makes more smoke.4. If you're just starting to learn how to do a burnout, you can try to do a burn out after you wash your bike. When your tyres are wet, they will easily spin out and break traction. This is a great way to learn and gain confidence.
:::::::WARNINGS::::::::::
1. If you feel the bike going too much to either side, and you feel that you are losing control quickly disengage the clutch and release the throttle in one quick smooth motion. You might want to try again later when you feel more confident.2. This will ruin your back tyre. Doing them on a paint stripe only helps keep your tyre intact but it will ruin it regardless.3. Be careful to not blow your tyre.
