Hi, erm, I'm kinda new to bikes, I don't really know an awful lot about them because it's something I've never tried before but since I started going out with my boyfriend he's gotten me really into them being a downhill mountain biker *is very proud* hehe... but since I'm getting into it he's started getting me to do a few tricks so he said the next time we go out he's gonna teach me how to do a stoppy but he wouldn't tell me what one was he said I should find out for myself, which I have. He also said there were two other names for it and as you can see I've found one of them i.e. endo... but could anyone tell me what the other name for it is? Thank you xxx

I'm not sure on a "stoppy", but an endo is usually a bad thing-ie going end over end.

Perhaps he's referring to a "superman".

Check this out for all your terminology needs...

He's most likely referring to a nose-wheelie, or getting the bike up on the front wheel only, as when stopping and you're heavy on the front brake and lean forward, and the rear tire lifts.

An end-o is a stoppy that went to far and you go end-o[ver] end. Front wheel stand is the only other name I can think of. I've done both stoppies and end-o's. endos are no big deal at low speed just tuck into a summersault (chin to chest don't look up) and don't try to save the bike, its tough it can take it, save your self. I've had no injuries using that method on smooth ground (as opposed to roots and rocks).

You can do a rolling stoppy by hopping your rear (you don't need clipless). when you find you can lift your rear wheel without any brakes you can move onto 2 other moves. Once you can lift the rear without brake proper bunny hops and endos (I call a stoppy and endo....which when taken to far is a crash) and stoppies (moving endos)

Endo is simply slamming the brakes on with a little speed, hopping the rear up and stalling it at the highest point

Stoppie (I call it a nose wheelie) requires some finesse on the part of the rider. You need to learn how to feather your brakes so they are engaged but not locked allowing the front to continue rolling.

Taken further you could do a nollie. Roll along on front wheel and then compress your upper body and lift the front wheel...(opposite of a bunny hop)

Ironically I saw this being done the other day (not rare here but)...on a road bike...full on wheelie....dropped the front and endoed...did the same thing for about 100 yards...dropped the front and nose manualed (stoppie I guess) for 10 or 15 yards...damn impressive skills.
