-lower ya front pressure down a bit (30psi is what i run)
-warm tyre up before hand
-find a nice peice of bitumen
-load ya forks up firstwith brake pressure before tying to lift
-keep arms stiff-
-look forward


Theres my tips, i aint no pro and i'm not rolling 500ft+ stoppies either, hope this helps

And yeah so a search, there would be heaps of threads on these..

Ok putting pressure on the forks, I pull in the brakes when the front end starts to collapse I apply more pressure and I feel the rear end wanting to come up but it doesn't. What do I need to do???

ok here is what i found and it helped me a lot when i was dabbling in them.

MAKE SHURE YOUR FRONT TIRE IS WARM! (ride around for 4-5 min before attempting them) ok get going about 45-55 mph (best learning speed i have found) pull in the clutch and grab some front brake not a lot just enough to compress the front forks. once you feel the forks compress lock your eblows look where you want to go and throw your body weight forwords. when you do this your ass should come out of the seat about a inch or two you will feel the rear tire lift and then BING BAM BOOM your rolling them :D

I AM NO PRO but shit works for me :D

What I did, and it is a good way to drop your bike, is start at like 10-15 mph and try to endo it. Get to the point where its coming up pretty high, ie- you can see your headlight spot on the ground, and then once you get comfortable with the height of the endo, then all you need is speed to roll it. A stabalizer helped me, and letting some air out the front tire, (create a flat spot, similar to the rear wheel for wheelies, but not quite as much.)
