Stoppies and Burnouts: Advanced Stunt Guide

Wheelies get the glory, but the riders who truly command a crowd in Projeto Grau 2 have two more weapons: the stoppie and the burnout. The stoppie, riding on the front wheel alone, is the wheelie's evil twin. The burnout, shredding the rear tire in a cloud of smoke, is pure theater. Together they turn a good stunt rider into a complete one. This is the advanced class.

The Stoppie: Technique

A stoppie starts with speed and ends with balance. Roll at a solid pace, then squeeze the front brake progressively, not suddenly. As the rear lifts, modulate the brake to hold the balance point: too much and you go over the bars, too little and the rear drops. Your body position matters. Shift weight slightly rearward at the lift, then freeze. New riders should read our wheelie guide first, because the balance-point concept is identical, just inverted. Practice these in the Projeto Grau 2 APK from the official site, starting with the brake-to-lift drill in an empty lot.

Stoppie Practice Drills

Drill one: brake-to-lift. From 60 km/h, brake until the rear just skims off the ground, then release. Repeat until the lift feels boring. Drill two: hold for distance. Same entry, but now feather the brake to carry the stoppie ten meters, then twenty. Drill three: the rolling stoppie. Carry it as far as balance allows without touching down. Each drill should get a full session. Rushing the progression is how handlebars meet asphalt.

The Burnout: Technique

Lock the front brake, feed the throttle, and let the rear tire break loose. The trick is holding the bike straight while the rear wants to step out. Small steering corrections, steady throttle, eyes up. A proper burnout is controlled chaos: the tire screaming, the smoke building, the bike planted. Start on grippy asphalt; slick surfaces make the rear wander and teach bad habits.

Burnout Variations

Once the static burnout is solid, try the rolling burnout: release the front brake slightly and let the bike creep forward trailing smoke. Then the circle burnout, pivoting the bike in a tight circle on the spinning rear. Each variation multiplies the style points in stunt sessions. Practice spots matter here, and our stunt spots guide lists the lots with the best surfaces for tire work.

Tire Management Is Real

Burnouts eat rear tires. This is not flavor text; the game tracks tire wear and a shredded tire handles worse everywhere else. Serious stunt riders keep a dedicated stunt bike with cheap tires for burnout sessions, preserving their main bike. Budget for it the way racers budget fuel. The money guide has job routes that fund a stunt habit comfortably.

Scoring: What Judges Reward

In stunt sessions and crew events, stoppies score on distance and control: a long, straight, unwavering stoppie beats a wobbly long one. Burnouts score on smoke volume and duration, with bonuses for variations like circles. Combos multiply everything: wheelie into stoppie, stoppie into burnout. The game rewards riders who chain disciplines, so being merely good at all three beats being great at one.

The Wheelie-Stoppie Combo

The signature link: finish a long wheelie, set the front down smoothly, and immediately transition into a stoppie entry. The crowd sees continuous balance, front then rear, and the score multiplier climbs. Practice the transition at low speed first. The timing window is generous once you feel it, but invisible until you do. Fifty clean slow transitions teach more than five fast sloppy ones.

Showing Off Responsibly

Advanced stunts draw crowds, and crowds draw chaos. In public lobbies, pick your spot away from traffic lanes and give other riders space. Nothing kills a session faster than a show-off clipping someone's run. The best stunt riders are also the most considerate. Download the latest build from our Projeto Grau 2 homepage, find an empty lot, and put in the hours. The crowd will come to you.
