when you can do this, you can move up to a 600.

I'm still tryin to get the back wheel up, except every time I try to stoppie my front wheel locks up and I skid to a stop.  I'm thinkin I need new tires.

Can anyone on this forum stoppie?  Any pics?

the trick to stoppies is to lower your front tire pressure to 26.  that way you increase the contact patch of the tire and it dosn't wash out.

stunting is hardly a skill that proves your fit to ride a 600  :roll:

no but, having the skill and ability to control the bike on one wheel does.

yea, If doing that on one wheel doesnt qualify you as a good enough rider to move to a 600 what does?

Maybe he should learn to do it backwards w/ no hands first? then he could get like a 550??  :lol:
