Thumbs up How much do YOU practice ?

Hi ya'll...... I'm just wondering how many hours a day or a week do you all practice ? Not including street rides.... more of a dedicated LOT practice. Do any of you actually have a practice schedule ?

I've been trying to devote 30 min to 1 hour a day right now.....but im all fat and outta shape right now (recovering from hurt hands and wrists from a high speed goped Crash ...LOL ) but I hope to start to devote a little more time to it.....and when i get to be decent....I might go and look up some local stunters in Nashville and see if I could practice with them.

but for this thread , I'm just curious, How much all of you are dedicated......or are some of you just Naturals, that only ride on weekends, but can pull all the tricks just cause everything seems easy to you ? Just Wondering... Thanks guys

AND For those of you who have years of Devotion.... and Might not practice as much as you used to (cause you have most of you tricks "locked") How much do you practice to stay "Crisp" AND How much Have you practiced when You were Devoting the Most time to it ?

Thanks Again dudes.......... later

Re: How much do YOU practice ?

We practice at the lot every nite, kill the streets at least 1-2 nites during week. Some of us will also hit the lot on sun., all day into nite. That includes those who have **** on lock ( the naturals ) , and those who dont, (special ED). Mind you this is when I'm not healing up from being broken. When I'm healing, I cut my practice to as much as I can handle.

RIDE EVERYDAY :YEAH

Re: How much do YOU practice ?

When I was in college last year I practiced 15-20 hours during the week and on weekends all day. (or as much as my bike could handle) I moved back in with the rents though for now, but once I get a trailer built I'll be riding everyday again for about an hour - 2 hours daily to get it all back. I went from a 929 to an F4i so right now it's been difficult getting comfortable again. My suggestion to you is ride as much as you can, but be safe.... don't ride alone dude. Besides, if you ride alone you'll learn much slower!! Ride around people who are better than you. Call those guys in Nashville and hook up with them. I don't know about other stunters, but if a kid is serious about learning, and he gets the crash cage, 12 bar, all the goodies and is humble and just wants to learn.... I have ZERO problem teaching a kid how to stunt!!!! I mean, I feel bad saying this... watching them wreck is funny but it's a learning curve and after I wrecked I remembered I had a back brake and never forgot it!!!!

Re: How much do YOU practice ?

not as often as I'd like. I try to get in a day on the weekends, but this weekend didn't happen. I just ride for fun anyways

Weekdays, if I get a session in 2 or 3 times than I'm happy. The weather is getting better though so I'll be riding more

I ride alone most of the time so it's hard to push yourself cuz you can't see anyone better rippin it up. When I do get the opportunity to ride with better guys I usually pick stuff up faster, but I also crash harder... Reason I ride alone is just because of location and timing. I have 3 perfect spots 10 minutes from my house where cops just drive by and don't care, and everyone else rides around an hour away. They all ride late too so by the time I'd get home, forget it... oh well

today I will ride for sure before the hockey game, cuz I'm not missing this one!!!

You have to ride alone sometimes especially if you want to progress yeah you wont push it as hard but you can still work on things. I know i did. The only person I had to practice with was Mana and when he couldn't make i'd go anyway cause I didn't want to waste my day off and not go or sometimes I'd drag my friend out to watch and record
