I didn't mean those kind of stoppies. ^ :D

That green frame I had cracked on the shock mounts and bottom of the TT, near the HeadTube.

Are the first few pics rolling or sitting still? If they are still thats weak...

Longest I have ever rolled one on my hardtail was 53ft.

I'm not sure what is more sad... the fact that you took photos of stoppies or the fact that you actually made a thread and posted the photos in it....


You've reached a new low! Good Job!:)




Just kidding, cool pics. I dont have any worth posting though.

Yes, they are still...The first 3 were when I was first learning the art of stoppies. The last on in that first post was still, but it is a heelclicker.

I can do a moving nose wheelie. 53' is really far.

I am embarassed to post in this thread.

My friend, two years ago.
Wholly Carp! Can you say OVERKILL!!!! Your Buddy is on flat ground surrounded by soft grass with no rocks or fallen trees anywhere around and he is all pimped out in his full-face and DH pants just to pull a stopie? And he is on a K2 none the less. I guess he was new to the scene huh?

Yeah, it was overkill for the grass bit but I later that day I wrapped myself around a tree in that same park and now have a faint, 6" scar on my inner forearm. I wish I had been wearing his gear.

That K2 was nuts, by the way. He replaced the stock shock with a Vanilla RC and his BB was so high he could pedal in the gutter and not clip the curb.
