Hi all, I did an 'accidental stoppie' to see what it was like at some traffic lights, can you control how fast the wheel comes back down?

Its to do with easing the front brake of slowly.

If you've come to a stop, then no.

If you're still going then you can ease the brake off. Takes some practice though... have fun learning Razz

Try to practice away from other traffic.

It was pitch black, with no other traffic anywhere to be seen by the way Very Happy
