Try taking some of the pressure off of the right hand. You dont need a kung fu grip on the clipon just because you are using the front brake lever. Apply equal pressure on both clipons on the pick up. Also kepping the tail high will allow you to steer it much easier. Even though it may LOOK like some of these long stoppies are going straight, with minimal tail kick out, they definitely are NOT. It takes quick shoulder input, pushing down on the clipon quickly once the tail starts to move out. Push down on the side that is stepping out. But make it very quick. Just dont get locked in that position or you will end up in the infamous crooked stoppie position... Bike straight but arms crooked to one side. You will learn to feel the tail about to step out, that is when you have to apply what I am talking about. Not after it steps out and you have to follow it around and turn it into a 180

^^ Ahh good advice! See I was applying pressure to the opposite side the tail kicks out, and a constant pressure..putting me into that crocked stoppie group..
I know that feeling of the tail starting to float, basically happens immediately after pick-up and just keeps going to the point were if i put it down im gonna get thrown the fuck off, or i just spin it around and roll backwards..
Thanks for the advice!!
