Is it safe to stunt by yourself?

I ride by myself and don't have a cellphone. I pretty much suck at stunting, but I try. Would you stunt if you were by yourself and crashing could be a factor?

I wouldn't recommend it, but can't say that I haven't done it myself a few times!

not a good idea if you ask me
same feeling here, unless i'm in town, in a parking lot somewhere ****ing around, donuts, etc. i WON'T stun alone, i may be the only bike out at a spot, but there will be someone else there (i don't stun without a camera rolling either). if you eat it hard, even if you have a cell phone you may not be able to use it or as we've seen before, cell phones don't survive crashes too well.

i do it everyday,only 2 other people i ride with regurlay try to stunt,everyone else rather have pretty bikes ,and them 2 that stunt never want to go out,maybe 1 time a week or every 2 weeks,so it gets pretty ****ing boring especially when i do acomplish something new and want to show someone and theres nobody there to tell about it but id rather go out by myself then sit at home waiting for somebody to join me,BUT YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU GET A CELLPHONE IF ITS NOT HOOKED UP YOU CAN STILL CALL 911 WITH IT,EVEN THOUGH YOU DONT HAVE SERVICE,ALL PHONES ARE LIKE THAT,SO PICK UP A USED PHONE AND JUST KEEP IT CHARGED INCASE OF EMERGENCY,GET ONE OF EBAY FOR 5.00 OR SOME ****

I stunt alone 95% of the time. I only do slow stuff so it isn't to risky. Make sure you don't stunt at a place where you could be alone for hours. All my spots someone drives by every 10min or so.
People are wierd though, I was doing a no hander and lost it. My bike was upside down on the side of the road. One person drove by why it was upside down the other why I was picking it up. Not one of them even slowed down. People in the country seem to be not as nosey as in the city.
Just use good judgement

Not a good idea to stunt by yourself period. If you are in Jacksonville there are a few teams there that you could go practice with. Geared-up and Urban Velocity to name a couple. Also go to there saturday night gathering at some cycle shop(don't remember the name) and meet fellow stunters, They can help you learn and also be there for you if something should go wrong.

Not a good idea, I couldn't imagin laying in a ditch somewhere with my legs broke or something. Responce time to a crash saves lives everyday, so just keep that in mind. Every hear a doctor say " If he would of got here 1 minute later he wouldn't of made it".........I have its pretty scary. It doesn't matter if you just started stunting, or if you are a starboy.........think smart.

skillz is just really niceskillz is just really niceskillz is just really niceskillz is just really niceskillz is just really nice
besides the fact that I believe its unsafe to stunt alone it just isn't any fun by yourself and for me stunting is all about fun.

The Shop is Cycle Accessories West (CAW) at Blanding Blvd and 113th St. Go up there and Hang out and meet. You will learn where the gatherings are at if you just mingle. My bikes finally back up so I got to learn where the new spots are at now.

I'm not the best stunter. Actually I suck. Majorly. I try though. I'd seriously feel like a dumbass out there with some good stunt riders.

Dont worry about looking stupid....you are trying to learn. Everyone starts somewhere. If I meet you at a spot...hang with me. I got to relearn my bike. I would be the only ***** trying to stunt a EX500 in jax..lol
Are you stunting the FZR or your CB450????

FZR. Hey, You want to go practice? I really suck at everything, I can't ride a wheelie long or very high. I dunno how good you are. I go to UNF, I dunno where Orange Park really is or location of places/ streets. It would be cool to ride someone here. Get back to me please.
