yeah I didn't even see that, just know us bikers always call it a stoppie, which linguistically contrasts nicely with a wheelie

Endo

While front wheelie sounds reasonable, the specific move in BMX of stopping on the front wheel is an Endo

There is also a 'stoppie' which I think is used in Mountain biking

It all depends if it is a stationary wheelie or a rolling wheelie, rolling on the front wheel can also be called a nose manual (as in skateboarding)

Taken from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoppie

The stoppie is a motorcycle and bicycle trick in which the back wheel is lifted and the bike is ridden on the front wheel by carefully applying brake pressure. It is also called an endo, or less commonly, a front wheelie.[1]
