Hi, my name is T. J., I'm here with Expert Village, and we're here today to talk about
how to do stoppies. All right, this is step number two on how to go about doing stoppies.
Body positioning. First of all, you're going to starting going maybe fifteen miles an hour,
pull your front brake a little bit until you feel the back end start coming up. When you
feel it start coming up, pull it -- just kind of snap it a little bit farther, and it will
come up to where you feel comfortable. And when you do that, you're going to start on
the back of your seat -- that's how I do it, and then pop forward, just push forward and
it will pop the back end up quicker. You're going to want to keep your arms locked, and
when you go about doing it, pick your butt up about three or four inches above the seat
as you push forward. That'll allow more weight to go to the front and pick up the back quicker.
And you're doing to not want to put your head down at all. Keep your chest up and aim forward.
That'll help keep you -- help you to be controlled, help you control it easier. When you're on
a basic stoppie, you're going to want to keep your shoulders straight, because in advanced
stoppies, to steer, you're going to lean side to side, use your weight to turn the bike.
And, basically, you're just going to be doing little ones to practice, show off for your
friends and what not, but just stay stiff. Keep your body stiff and always look forward
at your mark.
