stoppie
Brake-lift rear wheel
A stoppie is a motorcycle or bicycle maneuver where the rider brakes hard enough to lift the rear wheel off the ground while continuing to roll forward on the front wheel.
It's the opposite of a wheelie.
The move requires precise brake control—too much and you flip over the handlebars: He pulled a perfect stoppie at the intersection.
