I went mountain biking with my friend today and decided to pull some stunting while we waited on another friend to meet us. i rode some wheelies and thought i'd try a rolling stoppie. i got going, leaned forward and grabbed a hand full of brake. it got the back end up in the air, i rolled about a foot and then for some reason it just totally endoed over. i caught myself on my feet but just had to go to the ground. needless to say i caught myself with my hands and got a couple little scratches on the palms. dont worry! i'm ok though.

moral of the story kids...wear your gear when stunting anything.

Good thing you weren't wearing clipless pedals... a buddy of mine tried a wheelie while clipped in and WOOMP, right on his ass, bike on top of him

This is funny.

My friend and I were doing the same kind of stuff on Saturday. I almost bit it a few times. He came VERY close to falling while attempting a stoppie...hahaha

i flipped it a buncha times, but i wasnt doing any rolling ones, so i would just kinda flip over the front but still land on my feet.

Word of advice, you dont have to lean forward to stoppie a mountain bike. They roll stoppies much better while sitting on the seat.

Yea I 2nd trying wheelies with clipless pedals - don't, it hurts. How long can you guys ride a wheelie on a MB? Think the farthest I got was around 100ish feet, its hard to keep it in the balance point.

Found a pic of me 2 years ago over the summer pullin a wheelie on my cousin's top quality walmart mountain bike

thats probably why it flipped. not enough weight on the back

6 blocks with 2 hands. a block with 1 hand.

I used to be able to wheelie for eternity on my BMX bike, but I'm not too good on the mountain bike. I'll have to start practicing, lol

All that matters is that your ok.. and you had fun!

Is that what that thing stuffed back in my bedroom is for? I never new. :twofinger

I can't wheelie very far on my MTB.... maybe 15 feet or so. I need to try to do it while apply'n the rear brake from time to time so as to slow myself down and not hit my rev limiter.

Anyway, I've completely dumpped MTB stoppies before. My Trek 4900 has disc brakes, so it's pretty good for stoppies, but like you, I leaned too far forward, with my feet in the pedal cages. Ouch.

Damn! I need to practice more!
