what do you think the most underated trick is

by uderated i mean what trick do you think takes the most skill but noone gives credit for like they used to.

im not really sure on this one but i'll say one trick would be a stand up rollin stoppie, johnny DTE is the only person ive ever seen do one for a distance.

That would probably be a good choice. He's the only person I've seen do it also.

I haven't tried the standup stoppie. Johnny says it's a weird feeling. I used to do a side-sadle stoppie. Right foot on left peg, left foot out.... like the wheelie trick but while doing a stoppie. It's not easy.... I saw Johnny bite hard trying it. He had a concusion. We couldn't come up with a name for it so we called it a concusion out of respect for his attempt. LMAO!! He was fine after though.

I think acrobatic stunts are hard, of course I'm 6'7" and 240lbs... LOL

Trick that I think is hard are the elevators, and different combos of elevators.... acrobatic stuff scares the sh$t outa me.

Props to Thew, and Jason Britton!

The tricks or Trick in my head that i respect and think are great stunts that take skill and balance are. Jump over bars, Elevators, 180 Elevators, Reverse Handstands, Reverse Christ, and **** like that. Those tricks and some that i do, even tho i may do 100 elevators and jump over bars everytime i do them i still get scurrred like im going to crash....the balance factor in all those tricks is everything....when i saw thew do a reverse christ to ski,,,,,i couldnt believe it...when i saw britton do a reverse handstand 2 switchback 2 ski...i was like whooooooa...

just my opinion.... hey someone speed this thing up

I think sliding real low to the ground is much harder than how cool it looks. Lock the rear tire and slide the bike dirt bike style from 45 MPH with the inside peg dragging the ground!!

:Cheers

I think the acrobatic stuff is dope. The acrobatic combos that people like Britton, Thew and Paulie pull are just SICK!!! Yea 500ft stoppies are cool, combos and apehangers and the like are also awsome, but there is something about a dude standing up backwards on a bike then jumping off and getting dragged behind it that just kicks ***.

My favorite trick is coasting. Especially when they hold it on the Rev Limiter like Kyle did in the SBH video. It doesn't look like much to most spectators but it sure seems pretty cool to me.

christs are definitely way to easy....elavators are hard but some people can do them without a problem like our girl tiffanie... i think the tricks out there that no one can just jump on a bike and do have to be the underated....alot of people can just jump on a bike and christ and elevator. Backwords elevator on other hand is dope...some of the acrobatics...i dunno. Its really hard to say. Things just come easier to some people. I know 12ves arent easy...only reason thats all you see at comps is cus everyone practiced them so much.

your right

the more that you practice something the more easier it becomes.. In my opinion and others that I talk to that dont have a clue as to how hard ANY of this stuff is.. they like the acrobatics stuff (way too hard for me) and I hate to say it, but the cheesy stuff like the christs and skitchin.. but as stunters we all know how much it takes to get to this level and the risks involved....

I'd say donuts are definately the most underated trick.

You have to do so many things at the same time clutch, brake, and gas all while trying to stay upright and go in a circle.

I think coasters require the most skill. The christs and acrobatic stuff just takes *****. Everyone here that rides a motorcyle can balance. But to roll a long distance with the tail inches off the ground using no motor just brakes to balance is awesome. Just my opinion.

Tough to say although I think a 200 ft + endo/stoppie is at the top o my list, followed by slow stand up wheelies and acrobatics.
