I guess this is the reason people shouldn't do this crap. It was a low speed stoppie, and I shifted the weight forward and grabbed some front brake. Felt the back end rise, and then it happend so fast I couldn't release the front brake. I went down and the bike landed on top of me.

Good thing this mountain bicycle is so light. Wife looked back and thought I was dead. The reason I didn't jump back up is I was laughing so damn hard I could hardly move. Glad it was in a remote location and only the wife saw me.

I did some future stoppies after that, knowing what to expect.

No, you won't catch me doing this on the GSX-R :-)
