Steering a Stoppie
Anyone decent at this? Ive been working on it awhile but it doesnt seem to work out right. I can kick the rear to the side but that seems to be very bad, especially at speed. Ive heard things like just lean into the turn. Ive heard give a bit of input on the bars. The only thing i havent done yet is tweak the bars like whipping an mx bike. Im not willing to try this on my street bike but i can ride them from about 50mph on my drz which is nice and light. Id like to be able to steer it and eventually do a 180.
any help?
thanks

Tyre destroying, mad bastard menace

im not sure if its one of those things u can explain... grab yourself an old dirt bike... get on some grass and go for it. i recommend starting on a dirtbike to anyone that wants to stunt.

Power Hungry, Law Disregarder
i started in motocross, problem is i dont have a mx bike anymore. I have a dual sport. Ive gone over the bars on my mx bike trying to ride the front wheel down hills, and very fast in the dirt, wasnt too pleasant. this is every effort I had to try and steer the thing.

You need to have it up higher and slow it down, to much speed to steer it.Kind of like a wheelie at balance point as opposed to a wheelie relying on power and constantly accelerating. More control.

that vid wasnt the best rep. I do get it up higher. You have any techniques to share? I wish it wasnt so cold out!

Look forward keep your arms straght an as locked out as you can, steering is all about body weight you have to countersteer but because your on your front wheelie

shift1313: well depends on what ya want to do, for example
if its kickin the rear out to the left, you turb the bars slightly to the left, to correct the turn, i know this might sound fked but you do slightly go off angle. then all you do its counter balance your topp half of your body and steer it a lil the other way.. wallla
you ca steer stoppies. might take a while. but im getting mine 150footers easy now. would love to go more. but i dont want to kill my new bike... all in good time. i posed my stoppie vids. in the vids section
