when i was body peircing i charged my friends, my tattoo artists did the same... service is a service practicing at a lot isnt a stuntshow. i dont charge for practice.

Be tactful and diplomatic. Explain just how good you guys are, explain the value you would bring to thier event and why you are better than ANYONE else for that particular show and why they should pay you at least a small fee.
Try that angle

Ask to cover costs at least. If they asked you back, they obviously see that what you do helps draw a crowd, which in turn provides them with ticket sales (money). If you had hit them up again, might have been different scenario, but if they asked you... you have the upper hand (if only just).

Go do the show. Take a junk bike with you. Have somebody start whipping a chainsaw with it around either the dj booth or something expensive. Then, as your buddies are creating a distraction with a tank stand or something....let it fly out of your hands and take out the dj equipment or a bunch of custom bikes. When the event coordinator freaks out later and goes on and on about how expensive your F-up is going to cost him, calmly look him in the eyes and let him know that you said you don't do shows for free anymore and this one was going to cost him.

Yo, don't do the show for free!!! No one should be doing any REAL shows for free.... Most of us look at this as a hobby, but it costs alot of money to do. SHOWS are a given opportunity to catch up on past & future costs. Start a little high and negotiate cheaper, but set up some standard rules and caculations.. i.e., mileage, hotel, tires, health insurance, etc...

Atleast on the street if you take off you have a chance.
If your not "practicing" in an undisclosed legal location, there is no difference stunting on the street or the parking lot.
I think your just scared that some real STREET stunters will put you to shame...
