I am a naturale impossiblity...I suck and blow at the same time at stunting right now. I have not stunted in a year. We can hook up. I got to know where some good spots are first. Check your p.m.'s

at least bring a camera and be like that kid on you gotta see this jumping the quad, he filmed himself casing a jump, he got knocked out for like 10 minutes, then he cried for help another 20, then he finally got up and grabbed the camera and walked home like a sally!!!
translation: nah it aint a good idea, id rather be embarrased riding in front of pros than be embarrassed and all ****ed up laying by myself in a ditch for hours

def has the possibility of getting ugly (er).
example: i was attempting a circle, fell to the right, bike trapped leg. i was stuck. the header was burning flesh. then i was save by mpz mark. if i was alone i wouldn't have much of a leg left to speak of.
i wish i had the convienance of having a spotter/buddy all the time

Man I feel your pain. I am just getting another bike and I am not gonna ride with the group of stuck up rich boys that have taken over and weeded out all the old timers I started out riding with.
They hardly even come out anymore. And it will be at least two months before anyone in my crew gets another bike. We have all been out of action for about a year and a half.
But going at it alone is a bad ideal. I high sided up on NC 221 off of hwy 181. Of course I was by myself. Would have been there awhile if I hadn't been carring my cell. Cops aint all bad. The trooper gave my hurt butt a ride to the nearest store.
We are gonna try and find a vacant parking lot somewhere that maybe the owner will give us permission to practice on. Not likely, but worth a try.

I am an old (27) married man with two children, so I do what I can to minimize my risks. I let Shannon know I will be home by X time and get worried if I am not home by x time. Where we stunt there is NO ONE that drives by, great place. Others usually stop by to watch, but only 2 others ever stunt with me.
Suck, but I am guilty also.

The one time I tried to stunt without anyone around just happened to be the time I fell and busted the battery off my phone. As if that was not bad enough, I had cracked the clutch cover and had leaked out over 3/4 of the oil. Pushing your bike home is not fun.......
