Once you’re on speed and your body properly positioned pull the clutch in and get on the brake. Make the initial brake input pretty strong, about 80 percent of full braking pressure, then back off as the bike comes up. Weight transfer is also important aspst while performing a stopppie. At the same time you start braking, throw your body forward to move your weight out over the front wheel.
Starting from the middle of the seat, bring your shoulders up and slide up along the fuel tank until you’re off the seat just a little. When you move forward, make sure your body stays as straight as possible. Remember to keep your arms straight with elbows locked so your weight shift doesn’t unintentionally steer the bike one way or the other.
As the back end comes up, gradually let off the brake as you approach the balance point. As long as you’re on that brake hard, it’ll keep coming up. You know you’re near the balance point when you’re barely on the brake and that back wheel is floating–not going any higher or dropping any lower.
For basic stoppies, you don’t really have to think about steering–just keep your arms straight and you’ll keep rolling straight. It’s only when you start rolling them out really long that you have to worry about steering. The only difference between a 150-foot endo and, say, a 600-foot one is being able to steer it. Steering an endo is just like steering into a corner on two wheels–you have to countersteer. If the back end kicks to the right, push on the right bar and steer into it to pull the front wheel the same way the back end is going. The higher the bike is, the easier it is to steer.
For basic endos, just ride it out to a complete stop, let the back end fall, let out the clutch and ride away. You always want your body straight right up until the moment the tire touches the ground. Any time you move, you add a steering input to the front end. Don’t be too worried if the bike gets a little out of line–it can get eight to 10 degrees off and you can still ride it out without highsiding. Sometimes tapping the rear brake just before the back end comes down. This stops the tire spinning and tightens the chain to keep it from slapping when it hits. It sounds better–a little style thing.
