What do you call them?

[no tcs needed]

What do you call it when the bike stands on its front wheel? I call it an endo, but it seems that most of you lot call them stoppies.

 

[Tom_IW_Racer]

I call it an endo, may be an English thing.

 

[FVracer13]

I also call it an endo
along with most of the people i know

Endo.

That's what they have been called in BMX/Trick/Flatland riding for as long as I can remember. You can't make me change now.

The difference between the two terms used to be that the stoppie was rolling while the endo had the bike pivoting around a stationary front wheel. This was years ago mind and times change.

 

[only_da_b3st]

[xXSilencerXx]

That was always the way I remember it but like you say, times change.

Mind you, when you're doing them from 70+ () mph I call them something else. Something I probably shouldn't post here.

I knew the word endo when I was young from a lucas arts pc game called full throttle but now have learnt to say stoppie because it doesn't sound as silly in my head and I think more people would understand it.

 

[BiIg_Ham]

I had Full throttle too, it was amazing. I call then stoppies though. Endo's are indeed when the front wheel is stationary and the back wheel pops up.

According to Wikipedia

Endo:Endo, a cycling trick, otherwise known as a stoppie

Stoppie:The trick is performed by harshly engaging the front brake and leaning forward.

THere is loads more so ill just post the stoppie link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoppie

 

[Samster]

If you're a biker they're a stoppie - always have been - endo's are what cyclists do..........

 

[JoshBMW]

I've always called 'em stoppies.

 

[martialstax]

I only call it an endo if I end up going over the handlebars.

 

[red70mach1]

I knew it as stoppie from the first time I've seen it.

 

[CELTIC]

Definately A Stoppie ask any self respecting motorbike stunt cyclist or look in any motorbike Mag.

I remember some guy telling me they are called nollies once, I said mate we're not talking about skateboarding here they are obviously called stoppies. He was having non of it and was adiment(sp?) they are nollies lol.

Looks pretty conclusive then, stoppies it is. Thanks for everyone's input.

A nollie in skateboarding is when you jump with your front foot going up first(whereas ollie is your backfoot) and has nothing to do with bikes as far as I know.

 

[HondaRider]

Yer i know thats what i tried telling him lol.

 

[Delvesy]

It's a stoppie as far as I'm concerned. That's what they're called in GTA Vice City & San Andreas - both of these games record in your stats the time & length of your longest stoppie. But as this is a GT/TT forum, not a GTA forum, I'll stop now (escuse the pun!).

I recently bought MotoGP 4 and that calls them jackknifes for some reason. Crazy Namco programmers.

Wow, that stoppie's for like quarter of a mile.

 

[Axe_Gaijin]

I call them stupid

 

[jcbiker]

stoppie = rolling endo...

Endo = static on the front wheel, normally at the end of a stoppie.

Wow the image in that wikipedia link is absolute garbage. It appears to have been done using MS Paint.
