So then Monty...sorry for my naivety but if you "feather" the back brake it will bring the front end down??? But if you are positioned with your weight over the front end doesn't that do the same thing without the loss of speed?....why on earth would you want to brake after the mountain that soon? (yeah I know, I'm being pink and fluffy!)

Thats alright then although him being OK is a relative thing, probably means a bit of brusing etc but no boken bones. At the IOM it means they are still alive.

I think it's safe to say I could stamp on my rear brake and it wouldn't bring the front end down!

Ade.

As used by all the top riders-not me then! Yeh babes, the back brake will stop the bike flipping-if you think about the forces acting on the bike, during a wheelie the bike is trying to rotate around the rear wheel spindle. Using the back brake conteracts this tendency, as the wheel rotates forward and the brake is fixed to the swing arm when you apply it it is trying to force the front of the bike into the ground. You lose some power but get to apply what you have so you go forwards not up an over.
