New Stoppie Record
1 - 17 of 17 Posts
After generations of fast-food youth diets, endless hours of mindless television, video games and now computers...we've finally arrived at this. Obviously, the system has failed us greatly. What next, the skidmark distance record on the inner lining of one's briefs?
749 ft? Outstanding. I know people that can't run that far. Kudos to him.
I'm glad, if a little surprised, there's not more feedback from the "What about the twisties?" brigade. Looks like they may be coming around to the idea that stunt riders, though a littel crazy, are quite talented.

I alwase heard that an "Endo" was going "end over end" over the handle bars, as opposed to a stoppie, useing the front brake in a "Stopping" action? So if somone did an endo for more than 15 or 20 feet they should be dead!
yes and hundreds of thousands of people flock to watch metzger and co do stupid tricks in the air. and it makes money. and there is a huge audience.
what is the difference here? well, one has enthusiasts who do there practise on the street, not a track or their backyard.
that sucks, but hopefully the following gets big enough where people are encouraged to be more responsible, so that they can continue to do it.

I'm not a big stunt fan, I haven't pulled a wheelie in quite a while, and I wouldn't dream of doing a stoppie on my pride and joy for fear of messing up my front forks.
Having said that....
If this guy had been Chinese, on a bike and on the Jay Leno show, everyone would be marveling "ohhhh....ahhhh... their sense of balance is amazing!" But a western guy does it on a motorbike and suddenly he's a moron. Go figure.
Isn't it possible that there's a bunch of motorcyclists out there that just haven't really sat down and thought through their lack of respect for stunt riders? I think there's a bit of sportbike snobbery going on here.

No, no
That's not sportbike snobbery.
*This* is sportbike snobbery:
Not bad, for a two-bit punk with funny hair.
Let him stoppie a Dyna SuperGlide Sport for
1000 [email protected] feet and then he'll be a real rider.
*That's* sportbike snobbery.
MAke sure you get it right next time.

no, actually i could care less about either rider, regardless of race.
maybe you should worry less about the color of the idiot, and what other people think for that matter... and just focus on doing your own thing.
why play the race card in this topic? are you insecure or something?
