Wheelies & Stoppies

A wheelie is riding on rear tire only, stoppie is front tire only, right?  Okay, I can do both of these...but it never tells me how many seconds.  In the stats my wheelies and stoppies are all 0...so what am I doing wrong?

don\'t know yet but i will on friday as it will be the first thing i\'ll try when i load up the game for the 1st time

me can\'t wait

I want to run people over while wheelieing at the same time!

i can ride wheelies for several seconds and I do not see a timer either. I also read on allps2.com that you get paid for doing wheelies, i havent seen any increase in my money. Anyone else?

I\'ve since done a little research and it looks like you have to do a wheelie for at least 6 seconds before it registers.  Don\'t know if that\'s true or not.

Can anyone here do a stoppie for more than 1 or 2 seconds?  Seems impossible to me, but I guess it seemed impossible to fly the dodo in GTA3 at first.

I\'ve gotten money for wheelies and stoppies. You have to do it for like 4-5 seconds though. Not that difficult if you got one of the faster MCs

Getting paid for wheelies is tough. Find a flat, straight piece
of land with few cars (the back of the docks, near the "C" on
the screen works well) and try it with a moped.
To get the moped to wheelie, it\'s easiet to hit reverse for a
second, then gas it and pull back. Like someone else said,
they have to be long (5-6 secs) before you get anything.

Stoppies are much easier. Try them with the moped, as
well (It seems like they are easiest on the \'ped). You only
have to hold up for 2 seconds to get $$$ for those.
Just lean forward, and hit both brakes to start the stoppie.
After that, you can just use the handbrake and even a little
gas to keep on going. I can usually do stoppies for a while,
and then the bike/moped will start to turn, and it\'s lights
out from there...

My longest wheelie was 14 seconds, never really payed attention to getting money.
Longest stoppie was four seconds, both with the pcg-600. Best bike in the game IMO.
BTW, you can turn when your doing a wheelie, maybe not sharp, but if your in the middle of the street and need to get around a car it works, just dont do it to suddenly.

stoppies... there called endos here in uk

I finally did it, I went to the airport with the pcg-600 and did wheelies and stoppies (endos) up and down the runway...got a lot money.

I call them endos here in the US also, its just that in GTA they call them stoppies.

I found it\'s easy for me to do wheelies with the Sanchez dirt bike.  Using the d-pad also makes it easier (I always use the analog stick except for doing wheelies).

I always end up fliping head over heels with the sanchez. Its like its TOO easy to do wheelies.
Going around the dirt bike tracks sure are fun, but the dirt race in the arena is the best, nothing like jumps and lopp-da-loops. Its great.

right... got ya, so how u do them i read u press back to do wheelies, how u do endos just slam on brakes??? hopefully should get this game tomorrow or thurs

To do an endo/stoppie:

Get going pretty fast, and then lean forward (stick/control pad)
as you hit both brakes (handbrake/R1 and regular brake/square).
You\'ll start to pop the back wheel up, and then it\'s just a matter
of using the handbrake/gas/lean to see how far you can go.
Different bikes to it easier/better than others (the Harley\'s
can\'t do it at all, obviously).
