i am not at ALL tryin to bag on stunters as i WISH i could have that type of control of my bike and their stuff is really fun to watch...

but why....oh why is it that most stunters wear primarily ONLY a helmet and wear t-shirts, or better yet cut-off t-shirts....

i understand the speeds aren't as high, but a 10 mph fall while standing on a bike on asphalt is still going to chew you up like a cheese grater...i mean...is it they just don't care or is it not cool or what...honestly it stumps me...

like i said, not baggin on the stunters, it just seems that they are at such a high risk of falling (even at low speeds) that they would want protection...

oh well...

cool photos!

Im really not sure why they wear little gear.. Maybe its the whole show off factor or something im not sure.. maybe they feel they can hop around on the bike more freely i really don't know.. I do agree that if you can protect yourself from injury than why not take advantage..

It was a good time there though.. they are alot of fun to watch but 2 hours of circle wheelies gets really boring after a while.

yeah like i said, i am not gettin on the stunting aspect, just the dumbness of not wearing gear...even a mesh jacket at those low speeds would prevent so much pain if they fell...oh well....their skin i guess (or lack thereof when they fall)....

i can imagine circle wheelies would get boring...as much as i like to see stunting, there are only so many stunts that the typical stunter does and it gets redundant pretty fast....now...coordinated stunting is cool...when you see a show put on where the stunts and the interaction is planned, that's cool, but it doesn't happen much at these events i would think....

any ways...back to work!
