Braking for Motorcycle Stoppie

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is T.J., I'm here with Expert Village, and we're here today to talk about how to do stoppies. Now we're going to talk about how to go about braking for stoppies. First of all, when you're starting, you're going to want to go about ten miles an hour, in a parking lot with not too many rocks and dirt, so you don't slide as much. And go about ten or fifteen miles an hour, and ease on your brake, and get the feel for it. Just as you start feeling it come up, just go a little higher and higher, little faster, but start out slow at about ten. Just low, low stoppies. All right, so when I do it, I recommend -- well, I mean, I prefer, instead of one finger I used to do it, and then I started using two and it feels a lot better to use two fingers on the front brake, because I still have control of my handlebar, and of the brake handle. Anytime you panic -- if you panic, if you feel like you're going too high, instantly just let off the front brake and your back should -- it'll come back down. Okay, and once again, it's really crucial to remember to use about two fingers on your handbrake -- on the front brake, so you have good control of both levers over here, both controls. And, always start out small. And, anytime you panic -- you feel like you're going too high, just remember to let out the front brake, and your bike will come back down.
