The stoppie, also incorrectly called endo, is a motorcycle and bicycle trick in which the back wheel is lifted and the bike is ridden on the front wheel by carefully applying brake pressure after timing the "bounce" of the rear suspension. It is also sometimes called a front wheelie or wikang (wheelie belakang) in Malaysia. The word endo is short for end over end.
Body position--Keep your body centered over the bike is probably the most important aspect of pulling off a safe stoppie. You must first get your body dead-center over the middle of the bike with your head straight, shoulders squared and arms stiff. Having your body off-center is what's going to cause the back end to kick out once you get the back wheel up.

.::Basic Stoppie::.
The best way to learn, is take it slow and increase your brake pressure incrementally as your comfort level increases, you'll be floating at the balance point in no time. With most stoppies, you've got the bike in gear and the clutch pulled in. In theory, you should be able to just dump the clutch and hit the gas, and the gyroscopic force of the rear wheel spinning will actually pull the bike back down.
