Re: what kind of riding do you do (fluke702)
I've only done one amatuer race but tons of track days. I wish I didnt care so much about my bike to be a stunter haha. I can just do regular wheelies and stand ups. Its cool to watch my friends do 12's and 360's. Some of their stunt bikes are just insane, -2 +12 haha. Some top out at 65mph lol.

Wheelies scare me, watching stunting is cool. To scared to try it myself though.

oh yeah, nevermind the intricate set of bones in your wrist, or lower spine.

i spilled the one and only time i tried doing a wheelie. it sucked, i was banged up and sore, but not horrible. fixing the bike sucked though.

yeah, I'll leave the stunting to the "pros" hehe, although crashing on a racetrack has the possibility to do the same damage or worse.......*knocks on wood*

Re: what kind of riding do you do (smeagals)
I ride the street alot! I have seen the track a few dozen times. been to the drag strip a few times and I ride with a pro stunt team. wheels are a blast but so is dragging knee around corners. pretty much as long as I am on the bike I am happy

'stunters' are hacks.
A bigger bunch of **** heads you are unlikely to meet. Have no problem with people abusing bikes, thats what they're for, but this horeshit on the road has to be stopped. Not big or clever and I laugh like drain when I see Darwin strike back.

Re: what kind of riding do you do (Luke)
Once you get over that initial fear of looping it, you get them down pretty quick. Once you hit that balance point, maintaining it is pretty monotonous. The real trick is getting to the balance point fast and consistently. Slow wheelies are another story though.
