Mountain Biking Endo
Is a mountain bike good for tricks ?
I currently own a full suspension mountain bike. It’s excellent on rough terrain, but when I try making trick I can’t lift it enough or i fall. For example, I tried to make an endo, but the bike or doesn’t lift enough or it lifts to much. It could be my fault, but tell me if it is a popper bike for this task. And what tricks should I try ?
Are you trying to do tricks on a mountain bike or just trying to learn some basic skills to help you ride better? If you really want to do tricks, like northshore style riding or dirt jumps, you will want a bike designed for the task at hand. I ride an Eastern Nighttrain 26 inch dirt jump bike for doing most of my tricks. I don’t do much for tricks on my XC Mountain Bike which is awesome on off-road singletrack.
But if you are just trying to learn some skills, check out some of my riding tips in the MORC (Minnesota Off-Road Cyclists) Wiki.

Hope that helps you some!
