Hi, my name is T.J. I'm here with Expert Village. And, we're here today to talk about how to do stoppies. Alright, now we're going to talk about tire pressure. When you're doing stoppies, it's easier to do stoppies with lower air pressure in the front tire. Not too low, because it will mess with your control on your bike. Just a few PSI, maybe five from what's recommended. Go down and that will give it more area on the ground compared to being full. You'll only have like a inch and it will slide a lot harder and it won't grab as easy. Ok. Now, I'm going to demonstrate what happens when you try a stoppie with full pressure in your front tire. Ok. So, that's what you don't want to do. And, that is caused by having full pressure in the front tire. So, if I go and let some out just a little bit. Maybe a couple seconds. That will be a few PSI in the front. It's really drastic when you just let a little out of the front. A lot of air comes out quick. So, now I'll do one with low pressure and helps the back come up easier and the front tire grabs.
