Those are nice!Don't want to go too much higher.
I swore I would never do 'em,too crazy.Then there i was one night with my hooligan friends doing stoppies,about where you are .
It was way more comfortable than I thought it would be.Just did'nt like slappin' it back down.
My buds were talkin' about how easy stunts were on their "little" sportbikes,so i gave it a try on my bohemoth(sp) 12.No problem.

At least you could waive at the camera!
Actually, nice job, definitely high enough.

I've had too many accidents already and know what kind of luck I have but enjoy the hell out of watching everybody else. I suppose its a good way to know the limits of your bike,brakes and tires.Noticed how close the front fender is to the snorkel.

I use to do stoppies until one day came down and notice that the little tabs that hold the rear plastic, you know the ones that slip into the little hole. They break off very easily. So be careful when coming down.

Very Nice......
Good Job man, you are definitely high enough. I'm a wheelie man myself, but have recently been messing around with stoppies. They are a lot of fun. Be careful, and enjoy.
