How to do this? I mean going from an endo/stoppie to backhop, the technique used for front wheel gapping? I hope you understand what i mean.

i try doing it but this move is very hard. the main point is to put a rear wheel in a place where a front wheel was. i can't do it.. fuck

ah...this move is called Hoo Haa
To attempt this trick easier, you shouldn't lock the front brakes 100% but probably..65?, but sorta make it roll...like a stoppie
here's how it should work:
you're on the front wheel, release the brake a little, and then FORCE the front wheel to go forward/upward sweep...(so the wheel will roll and leave the ground)
While you have forced the front wheel to go at a forward/up sweep, you should be pushing the bar up, but away from you (from here, your body position should be like fully stretched out...something similar as when you've stretched your body out for Pedal up to rear) by the time you've stretched your body out like this, your front tyre should be up, and rear tyre on the ground:p
But yeah...hard to explain... if you're wondering why you need to let the front wheel sorta roll is so you could let the rear wheel land there, also you could do it with the rear brakes not locked until it hits the ground so you've got a smoother rear wheel landing

Totally let off the front brake when you goto rear, keep the rear brake unlocked till it actually gets on the object.
less brakes the better.

mmm. Muy dificil. Crazy that people can do it on rails. I wheelswap up to maybe a foot or so, but it is hard to get your back wheel up to where your front was. helps if you are not perpendicular to object, get sideways a little. That way, you dont have to bring the rear wheel as far. Its all about getting enough mo' to swap wheels.

I don't know at what point you are at..... but the way I started was to just practice the switch on the ground. I'd go up into an endo and let off the front brake and really try to bring in the rear. Mark something if you can and try to get the rear wheel right where the front was. I also didn't have the rear brake on, so you do a bit of a manual out of it. Then do the front wheel gap up to a sidewalk and try to do the move. Then just get move higher and higher.
Hope that helps

push your upper body into the bike while letting the front wheel "roll" and get higher.. watch videos, it really helps. Watch the body movement carefully and just make your brain pull/release the brakes at the right time.. like any other move I guess.
I have a vid of Sam doing it really well, I'll upload that soon

you need to get into an endo on the wall and bring your backwheel right up, just higher than the front. then release th front brake and move your body forward then into a backwheel postiton and place your backwheel. the hardest part is next, keeping the front end up afterwards. just keep practising

Right, this is a pro level maneouveur, I start by trials or bunny hopping up an obstacle so my front wheel hits it with a bit of speed, then launch your front brake on so your back wheel lifts, let it go at the peak of your rear wheel height, and push yourself forward...don't be surprised if u go over the bars!
When Your front wheel is moving across, prepare your back wheel 4 the landing, as it lands hold your back brake, and then do what you like from there...
Hope this helped:D
just learn the inverted backflip instead, that should do the job for you!
