[edit] Motorcycling also?

Isn't there a motorcylists version of this trick?--Knife Knut 01:08, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Endo

This article seems to claims that the stoppie and the endo are the same, while endo (cycling) says they are different, but doesn't say how. Pissant 00:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)


i always thought that an endo was the rider bailing over the handlebars, while the stoppie was riding the front wheel.Motorbyclist 10:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Consistency Problem: Rear Brake

The article states that the rear brake is not used, which appears to conflict with the graph's indication that it is used. DavidGC 10:52, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image and graph

In the image the motorbike is facing in the opposite direction to the sequence in the stills. Someone who can manipulate images needs to reverse this part of the image so that just as the sequence goes left to right, the bike appears to travel that way. Lumos3 11:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The graph looks like an elementary school art project. It should be removed, and the entire article needs cleaning up. Exploding Boy 17:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Friction

The description of friction is incorrect. Friction does *not* increase as you put more weight on the front tire. I'm updating this section along with a reference to http://www.msgroup.org/forums/mtt/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4533.
