Much as I hate to join in here do have one question- why do people think that it is impossible to steer whilst using a lot of front brake?
Certainly if you lock the wheel up then you are buggered, but up to the point of slip/lock-up you can certainly pick which direction you are going in.
I've done a number of stoppies now in response to Londons famous Londons excellent road users, never once lost control or skidded, despite lifting the rear wheel into the air for the duration of the braking period.
