LukasMcNeal Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) I would like to know if you pull your front and back brake when doing an endo or stoppie?Why do I want to know may you ask? Well its because I found it weird because I always do, generally because after endo(ing) i'm most likely to go onto the back wheel.

Scott Gibbs Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 You know what i honestly never thought about it! So i went and had a wee play around in the car park to see if i do or dont. And i do pull in the back brake. But thats such a random question to ask man to the point i never though about it ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneck Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 the only reason that i wouldnt hold the rear brake is if im riding with some one, they are behind me, and my rear tire has mud on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 A spinning wheel weighs more then a stationary wheel.Only way I can see stationary/moving making a difference, is if it's spinning fast on the way up, then lock the brake off when you're running out of momentum. Centrifugal force'll send it pivoting 'round the front a little bit extra.Same as what some people do for taps, but in reverse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Nichols Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 A spinning wheel weighs more then a stationary wheel.LOL? R U SERIUS?I use both my brakes independently.When doing manuals, bunny hops and back wheels I quite often don't even cover the front brake.
