What is the hardest trick out there (to the general public)
So we have the point of view from stunters, but what do you think the general public sees as the hardest trick?
If you look at it from their point of view, they aren't going to notice when you pull the clutch in and do a coaster, a lot of them might even think circles are for amateurs because they don't involve a lot of speed and danger.
I don't think stunting will ever go mainstream unless we figure out what the public wants and give it to them. Look at the Chris Pfeiffer's videos for example, everyone is quiet when he does a really technical trick and then as soon as he does a 180 powerslide to 2 foot power wheelie the crowd starts cheering.

Joe Blow the back woods country bumpkin spectator likes watchtowers, standing on the tank, tire burnouts when they go POP!, pow pow power wheelies, stoppies, flamingos and highchairs. Now that’s in south GA it makes me kind of sick they cant appreciate a slow combo or Merk step not like I can do any of those LOL but trust me out in the country --> Valdosta GA the crow can be pleased with a glow stick taped to your wheels while you do a pow pow power wheelie down the track at night 
Now as far as what the average spectator might consider a hard trick in my opinion I would say a highchair scrape

Re: What is the hardest trick out there (to the general public)
i think the hardest trick in the publics eyes is a high chair at speed i know they slow stuff is more technical but people like to see **** that is dangerous and dangerous is speed. ive done some research on making a video and more people said they would buy it if there were more tricks on the street at 80 rather the a 5mph highchair or circles i asked over 100 people and 80 % said they were more impressed with faster stuff

Re: What is the hardest trick out there (to the general public)
i would rather watch stunters riding on the street doing anything at speed. seeing a highchair on the highway is awesome. circles are cool but i hate videos with them, bring back the starboyz style of riding,
no regard for traffic, cops, their well being and definetly not the bikes. thats the way a video should be filmed.
dont get me wrong but slow stuff is hard as **** but who wants to watch 59 ss circles over a highway spreader for 2 miles?
i know i dont and alot of people will agree wiyth me

Re: What is the hardest trick out there (to the general public)
We all know what the crowd likes and loves to see...acros, but how many people out there still do them like they should be done. Everyone on here is busting there *** trying to learn the wrong crowd pleasing tricks..circles, coasters and whatever else the crowd has no idea about.
Also, posting this in stunt discussion isn't going to get you spectator answers...or at least like you would want i guess. Only stunters post in here There needs to be a better way to ask the "crowd" for opinions.

I think if you were to do a elevator, your bike would break in half!
