From today's practise on my 3rd attempt at doing a stoppie, I didn't want to post it as I know you guys will give me a lecture. But, oh well...

Now Kreeee, post your fail. :p

Interesting. Clearly you're braking hard enough if your front's locking up. I wonder if you need less brake but more body weight over the front?
 
I'm not going to lecture you but I am going to say put some proper gear on your lower half!

I'm a much bigger guy than you and if I hadn't have been wearing hip armour and boots when I stoppied into the back of someone and the bike landed on top of me I'd have gotten a lot more than some serious bruising and aching. In fact my thigh is still tender nearly 3 months on where the bike threw me onto my opposite side and that was at basically no speed just the bikes own momentum coming back down.
 
I want to develop all the time, I don't want to be stuck on a certain skill level. Learning how to wheelie stopped the fear on overtakes when I sometimes shot from the clutch accidentally and the front lifts I just carry on and put it down before going back into my lane. :p

I had a scary situation 3 days ago, my life skipped in front of my eyes... I took a corner at xxx speed and there was horse... and potholes in the middle. I chosed the potholes and somehow saved the front which gave up grip. I've slowed down now, like my mate said today. He loves bikes, but doesn't want to get killed by that love/passion...

The bike was slightly lent over, too much pressure on the brake. Its possible that I might of not been sitting center on the seat, but I don't think so... I rewatched this so many times now. :p

I'd say either too much brake - not enough of a gradual braking, or looking at the video a bit more, his forks may have bottomed out. In which case more weight over the front would be a bad thing!!
 
The ground looks to have a camber.

What I meant was less braking and then weight further forward. I don't really have a clue though I've only ever done an endo on a push bike lol.

The right body position is:
-Seat as close to the tank as possible
-Look straight ahead of you not on the ground!
-Grab the tank with you legs hard, so you aren't putting the pressure on your wrists. (Helps to use your muscles that you use when you ride a sports bike)
-Get on the brakes and add more pressure.

My mate who can do long endos said I braked too hard, watch my previous video. You can hear tyre skidding whilst my rear is up in the air. :p

I did that on my SV. When I thought about it I realized I broke too hard when there was no weight on the front wheel
 
It's just your mic not picking it up. People like Royal Jordanian use a secondary sound recorder for the exhaust.
 
Yeah I'll need to go out with my separate recorder to get some proper sound, maybe at the weekend. The Yi in the waterproof case muffles pretty much everything.
 
That one is not, but check any other of my vids. It doesn't sound half bad with the waterproof case and I get less wind noise than you for some reason. :p
 
Haha, I chosed the cheapest case on banggood. :p

Edit
Nope, I didn't touch the mic. Just couple scripts and 35mbps firmware...
