Pre-Stunting Days
I was just curious how many people on SL before they started Freestyle/Stunt Riding used to (and/or still do) skateboard, rollerblade, freestyle BMX or something along those lines of "extreme" sports when they were younger. I was just watching a film/documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys" and it reminded me of when I was younger and skated and did a little freestyle BMX... but now as I got older, I am still looking for an alternative sport thats more exciting than playing football or whatever, so I am into this! It was also cool to watch because it talks about how skateboarding became commercial and people started to make money from it (serious money).

Re: Pre-Stunting Days
I used to rollerblade a bit in primary school with the older kids. I was always the one tryin the new jumps first and that sort of ****. It never really gave me much of a rush though.
Then, as soon as i could i got a bmx and got into the dirt jumping scene. I was alright but nothing special but my favourite thing to do was always wheelies! Didn't matter if i was on the way to school, work or a mate's place, i was trying to get there on the back wheel.
Finally got a motorbike at 16 after wanting one since coming outta the womb once i started work. Been loving riding dirt and street bikes since then............................Still poor as *** and lovin it!!!!

Re: Pre-Stunting Days
I always rode bicycles, then skated some, started out on my first streetbike when I was about 10. Little Honda S90. Then lowrider trucks and fast cars then back to street bikes and dragracing. Then started making wheelies on my Busa and never turned back.

I used to ride BMX like it was my job. I dont think there was a day in the summer when I wouldnt ride. Mostly dirt, but a lot of street. Then have been into cars and dirtbikes my whole llife

Re: Pre-Stunting Days
before I started stunting I did:
skateboarding
supercross (quads)
trials riding
agressive inline
skydiving (just a few times)
motorX bike mountain climb competitions ( not to be confused with hill climbs)
motorcross
martial arts (If you don't consider it extreme, get kicked off the ring which is 6 feet above the floor and land half on the crowd and half on a bunch of florescent lights for the first time. After the 4th time it happens, you start to wish you were bullfighting or something)
I've always been into action sports. I never cared much for football, soccer, anything like that. I always loved engines and jumps. Luckily I had a dad who was into all the same stuff so he encouraged me and my brother and got us doing any kind of motorsports we could get into. I've also done a ton of auto racing and drag racing and stuff like that but none of it I would consider "extreme" sports.

Re: Pre-Stunting Days
haa...the extent of my sports are snowboarding all winter, and sportbikes all summer. But thats *all* I do, when I'm not working. I always lived in the country, on a farm, down backroads so we didnt have like paved lots to skate in, so that was never much of an option.
