Stuntriding Research *PLEASE LOOK*

Hello, for school we have to get research one a thing that we like.. so instantly I thought about stunt riding.

i was going to put a question about you guys running from the cops but she said to change that one.

ok so please answer these.


i know they are kinda stupid but i was to lazy to make up better questions.

----------

1) Is it hard? Why?
2) Is it fun? Why?
3) Where do you stuntride?
4) Is it hard to "streetfighter" your bike? Why?
5) How much work did you put into your bike?
6) Does it cost a lot of money?
7) Did you ever get hurt?
8) Do you sell videos? Why?
9) Do you ride with a group or alone? Why?
10) How many bikes do you have?


-----------


Thanks

Rock on :YEAH

1) Some things are harder then others.
2) If it wasn't fun I still wouldn't be doing it. That is what it is all about. I'm a competitive person by nature but you gotta have fun doing it.
3) I travel all over but do most of my practicing at a dragstrip or secret ridin' spot here in sunny Lakeland, FL.
4) Streetfighter? What's that? J/K. I prefer the stock look myself, though there are many that have converted to the streetfighter.
5) Lots and lots of work to keep your bike in shape. Not as bad now though with the invention of the freestyle cage to protect the bike when you crash.
6) I always thought it was cheaper then racing but I seem to keep spending money somehow. Most of your money is spent on travel to competitions.
7) I've been lucky that I've never been seriously hurt. Road rash, but nothing broken. Fractured my wrist one time. I always wear protection, i.e. helmet, jacket, gloves and boots.
8) I do sell videos along with t-shirts and other items. It helps cover your expenses. Most don't make a lot of money doing it.
9) I ride tandem, which is 2 people on the bike at one time. She hangs off while I do wheelies and burnouts.
10) I have 2 bikes. A Honda Superhawk 1000 and a Suzuki Gsxr 750.

Hope this helps with your report. Good luck.

Re: Stuntriding Research *PLEASE LOOK*

A streetfighter is a naked sportbike. You can take a regular sportbike and strip all the plastics, install a simple headlight, and possibly swap out the clip ons for dirt bike bars. There are also a few manufactured streetfighters - Kawasaki Z1000, Aprilia Tuono, KTM 990Duke. Note 2 of those are European, the streetfighter scene is much bigger over there than it is here.

I think steve pretty much sumed it up for me, pretty much the same answers.

except 9) I ride with a team because for one thing its hard to entertain a crowd by your self .Two it helps to have teamates to compete with and keep you motivated to get better.
10) one crunchy cbr600f2.

5) How much work did you put into your bike? more than i put into my last minty one
6) Does it cost a lot of money? if you wreck alot
7) Did you ever get hurt? not as often as one might expect
8) Do you sell videos? Why? no, i'm not good enough
9) Do you ride with a group or alone? Why? group, surrounding yourself with people better than yourself helps you get better
