| Getting on the front wheel (endo) |
 |
 |
 |
| 1° Moving at a slow pace, just apply full brakes on the front wheel. |
2° Carry on moving your body forward until your weight is mainly above the stem. |
3° Pushing on the handlebars while folding the knees will lift the back wheel. |

How to do it
At the beginning, don't go too fast or you'll go over the bars (remember, it's about balance, not about crash speed). If things go wrong do not release the brakes or you'll eat the rocks. Instead, jump off the bike while holding the handlebars.
Once you get it right, you can try a few hops on the front wheel, or carry on riding on the front wheel by releasing the front brakes and staying in balance above the stem. |  |

Bouncing on the back wheel
|
 |
 |
 |
| 1° Coming back from a very small endo, start moving back to a normal position. |
2° Apply full rear brakes on, and carry-on moving your body backwards, behind the seat. |
3° At this stage, you just need to pull on the handlebars, folding both the elbows and knees. |
More Info
After a small endo, move your body backward with the rear brakes on, and lift the front wheel in one go. Then on the back wheel, knees folded for a jump impulsion, jump on site while extending the arms. In the same second, lift the handlebars higher by pulling the bars back to you, and lift the feet to let the bike follow at the same time. In the beginning, you will hop backwards, because of balance problems. Its a lot of synchronisation. Once you get to two hops, you are on the right track. |
