Endo Endo

Endo - Definition and Overview

Prefix referring to somthing internal in the body, e.g. endokrinology, secretion inside the body. Endo is the opposite of ecto.


In cycling, an endo is a trick that involves the rider lifting the rear wheel into the air while the front wheel stays grounded. It is similar to another trick called the stoppie, and is sometimes called a front wheelie.

"Endo" can also refer to a violent wipeout caused by improperly landing with the front wheel first after a jump. With the real wheel in the air, a moving bike has the tendency to throw the rider over the handlebars while flipping end over end (hence the name).
