.::One Hander Stoppie::.

For one hander stoppie make sure your right arm extra stiff to make sure the bike doesn't drift either way when you let your left hand off.

1. Bring the bike up just like a normal endo(recommend: throw the bike in neutral before pulling a one-hander, that way the back end won't come down when you let off the clutch.)
   


2. Once you get to the balance point let go of the bar with your left hand.
   


3. When you remove your left hand, make absolutely sure your right hand is not going to move. You don't want to have your right arm half-bent when you throw your left arm off
   

Supporting your body weight with your legs is important because you can't really use your upper body to hold yourself on the bike with only one arm. To make this work, get all your weight up on the tank and jam your knees into the tank cutout to hold you up so you don't have to press on the bars.

.::180 Endo::.

To pull this off, you really need to know how to steer an endo or stoppie well.Instead of trying to steer the bike straight, intentionally add a steering input to bring the back end of the bike around, then control that input so it doesn't come around too fast or too slow.

To launch a 180, get the bike up to the balance point with your body centered you don't want to look for the balance point when the back end is already kicking around. The higher you are, the easier it is to steer and the smoother the back end comes around.

Once you're up, start the rotation by countersteering. It takes a major input on the handlebars to make the back end come around. To get it to crank--to move all that weight around--really takes some strength. You can't just snap it around.

Avoid the temptation to roll your body into the rotation--to maintain control over the bike, you really want to stay above the bike, on top of it at all times.

As the back end starts to come around, the bike will usually stall because you don't have enough momentum behind it. More height is better, but at a lower height you need more speed to snap the bike around. One way to make it spin around faster is to use more brake.

The 180 endo is probably the only endo where you need to increase, not decrease the brake pressure as the endo progresses. At the end of the rotation, you're probably going to have to pull the brake back to that initial 80 percent to get it to come around. You're always at a dead stop at the end of a 180

.::Basic Stoppie::.

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.

1. Drop the front tire pressure to about 15-20psi
   
2. Go about 30-40 MPH or 45- 65 km/h
3. 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.)
   
4. At the same time you begin braking, rock 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 gas tank until you're off the seat just a little.
   
5. When you move forward, make sure your body stays as straight as possible and keep your arms straight with elbows locked.
   
6. When it feels like you're getting up too high, let off the brake slowly and you'll be back on the ground.
   

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.
