As far as the stoppies go, I ain’t no expert but it seems to me you have reduced your available traction (and therefore stopping power) by being on one wheel only. I would guess easing up on the front a little would keep the back on the ground. Even if you are not on the rear brake that wheel has to turn and fight against the engine. Not sure how much difference all this would make but even if it is only a few feet that could be the difference between hitting that truck and stopping in time.
