rolling looooong stoppies - advice

[Nick Storm]

cheers bud. Yeah I've got to the stage where I feel like I really need to work hard to eeek out those extra few feet. I'm practicing from a 120foot run up as that's about the general competition distance...

What you rolling these days?

SKETCHY - Cheers, I saw the Anger Management stoppie school on facebook, nice one - great idea. Do you have specially set up bikes for it? for newbies or stunters?
I run a wheelie school over here now, who'd have believed it ) get asked about learn2stoppie every now and then...

run the damper stiff, but not TOO stiff. you still want to to be able to steer the bike and correct it.

just go out with these basic ideas/settings, and a flathead and write down what happens when you change the settings. rolling long is science, skill and balllls..

Last time I had my 954 forks rebuilt I had non progressive .98 springs put it... Do you think I should have left the stock progressive springs in it? They felt so soft to me...

[da Liks]

why did they feel soft? my forks do not feel soft! maybe you didnt have the right fluid in it, or the right amount?
