I was riding this weekend on an paved lot near my home just goofing off, wheelieing , sliding and cornering. Then, while practicing some heavy braking and turning excercises, I applied a little too much front brake. I was coming down from about 20 mph during the brake/turn and was down to about 2-5 mph when the rear end came up kinda like a stoppie but instead of just bringing up the rear, the rear swing around to the right. i let go of the front brake fearing I was over the balance point and the quad rode about 5 feet backwards on it's front tire before the back came down. The closest thing I've seen to this is a skate/bike trick called a g-turn. I wish I have a camera because it must have looked cool.

Has this ever happend to anyone?

I wish I could reproduce it but I don't have the guts or skill. Maybe this could be a new thing, flatland, freestyle quading.

 

If I ever get to ride again I will try it.

 

Man that must have been a hard thing to accidentley do. I just tried it on my Recon and I could not do it. I didn't think I could anyway cause I have trouble doing it on my Diamondback much less my quad.

 

I've never did it on my R, but I have done it a few times on accident on my recon. I was coming down a long open stretch and applied all my front brakes while turning without using any throttle or back brakes, it rode on the front wheel for a while, then i got scared and let of the brake, then rolled a bit, then put the brakes back on and it came up again... it was scary [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

It's not that hard to do on asphalt... just do an endo and give it a kick to on side while doing it.....

 

I'm thinking when you get up on a stoppie if you just turn the handle bars it might work, now, who is the first to try?

 

Somebody give me a left case half, give me some time, and I'll try. I have confidence in my jumping abilities, and Pro Tapers are unbendable [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Well, on an ATC it is easy to spin around, not so easy to get up though. I have only got the rear end up once so far and I almost fell over to the side. I'd have to say the best quad that I've ridden to do an endo on is my old mojave, I had someone on the back and the front end still came up, and that was on red cinder!!

 

You cant do it using tyhe handlebars it wont work cuz they kinda stuck ther because all of the weight is going to them you have to use your whole body and move the atv to one side

 

In other words.. Bust out with a whip when you get the back end up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
