Default Dont try a stoppie on 1 of these nikes

These bikes have such horrible brakes. I was coming to a light and figured I would try a small stoppie to see what happends. What a bad mistake the whole bike just slid and then I dropped it. I felt so stupid. I just know I wont try that again. Does anyone else have problems with the stopping power on thier bike ?

I got very lucky only 2 tiny ones. I am almost starting to reconsider the ZX 10. I love this bike but the brakes totally suck

He never said he didnt expect it or that he was mad about the damage. He just said the brakes didnt feel the way he thought they should and asked for opinions on the brakes. There is nothing wrong with stunting a 14 as long as your willing to break it.
