...I'm a downhill mtn bike guy who does alot of freeriding. I used to be big into the BMX skatepark/dirt jump thing. However, now (as of the last 1 1/2 years) into my motorcycles. I'd like to start "stunting" and was wondering what your first trick was that you learned?

Any advice for a stunter-to-be?

Anyone in the Vegas area willing to have me tag along (even if only to watch)?

 

It took me weeks to finally get the front wheel up on my 900RR. I would go about 25 in first, cut the gas and then accelerate.

Now, with my 1000, it is only a matter of hitting the gas in first, but I really think "clutching it up" is better.

From a different thread:

 

my first trick was a rev limiter spreader circle

 

Lowsiding...followed very shortly by throwing it on its other side because I was mad!!! Final trick...setting it back up the right way!

 

thats so lame!![sm=loser.gif]

 

my first trick on was on my ex500

i used to get in the highchair postition and ride..no wheelie or nothing....just rode around a couple of blocks like that

...and everyone loved it

 

yea rev limiters are lame, spreaders are lame and circles are just for squids, sike i would pay to see someone pull that off, guru is doin them SS i think tho

 

my first trick was the ghost ride... i fell off bike kept going!

 

My first trick was actually a Christ Air (on the seat, not tank). I started by holding onto the handle bars and getting up and squatting on the seat...going maybe 45mph. Then I put my choke on (some ppl put it in neutral if they dont have a choke, or u can getthrottlelock like vista cruise)let the handle bars go w/ my hands hovering over them. The bike is actually extremily stable at high speeds...try out just letting go of the bars while sitting...u can even wiggle back and forth, the bike is NOT gonna go down. Anyway...i gradually worked up from a squat to standing...now i can do them as long as the road will let me (as long as i dont slow down too much) and can even go around curves by leaning slightly to one side. Christ Airs aren't as hard as they look, but they do take ***** to get up there (esp. the first time). Good Luck...just remember the slower u go the LESS stable your bike is.

 

first stunt isjumpingto the back seat and riding down the street. dont know if that is a stunt though... lol... i can pull wheelies but notthat long.also riding with my feet up on the bars and and hands behind my head and thats when i get a reckless driving ticket and dont do much now after that... oh yah matty im in vegas but im in iraq right now. there are people that stunt on saturdays down on russel road its called the warehouse.. i've seen kane stunt there bout 4 months ago its crazy. there are other people that are good stunters too that go there they start around 10pm. but i havent been there in bout 5 months. just check that out its pretty koo
