Somebody better not win a freaking freestyle comp because they can flip.

I totally understand, and I kind of agree with you. If some dude came to our spot and did a front flip off his bike, I don't know what I'd do.
I was just playing "devil's advocate" with what I said.

The gorilla roll to rear skitch is actually my favorite! Only bashing on the flips.

Re: WTF is up with the flips and handstands
whats the point of doing gay **** for the"crowd",if they are not into stunting theyre probably there to see ppl wipeout more than anything.
i dont see how these crap tricks are gonna make stunting go mainstream or acceptable.and i cant see how this will progress the sport.
the world already knows stunting exists and dont care.they like pop idol and reality tv and if it hits the mainstream it will be a flash in the pan until some corporate fu(ker stops making cash off stunters backs.
maybe a big movie;
TORQUE 2-stunting back....see guys do amazing flips from stationary bikes on side stands...handstands like you'll never believe

That would **** ***. Just look what it did to import cars. I had a 283whp turbo b18 hatch a year before the gay and the curious came out. then after that there were ala these ricers EVERYWHERE. It ruined it for me and i got back into bikes. Could you imagine all the wannabe stunter squids runnign around with minty *** cages, chrome, virgin 12 bars and such. Id probably start riding freestyle motocross.

pro european stunters used to be like that until american street style riders made them look totally gay with their matching leathers and open face lids waving continually to the crowd like retards.
keep it street,american riders are always more exciting to watch in my view..keeping it freestyle..like punk V pop.

american street style riders have NEVER made the euros look gay!!!
why do the Euros beat the Yanks in what ever comp they enter?? they wave to the crowd because they are Pro entertainers, and wear open face helmets to communicate to crowd (which the crowd love) which is what stunting is all about (entertaining) and if you say "hey dude i ride for myself and no crowd" then thats great, then i guess we will never see you in a show or a comp then huh, and if you do you'll be NOWHERE!
we must be watchin different riders coz Phiefer, Farias and many others are DAM entertaining and exciting to me and everbody else i know!!!

Re: WTF is up with the flips and handstands
i dont buy bikes and **** myself up for other people,matching leathers and open face lids are totally gay and why is everyone pandering to the will of these"crowds"=ppl that dont know one trick from another.
hey why not tell a few jokes,a card trick,that cabaret **** is fake and gay,this is a dangerous hobby not a disney meet and greet.
those euro guys are good but just sterile and interest in them here in europe has declined even though their tricks are better.
i got into this for fun,not for applause and shiny trophies.
yeah maybe your entertainment skills might change peoples lives.make ppl want to be stunters instead of going on pop idol.
ppl have to find hidden spots to practice and ride away from the crowds,so why kiss their asses for a $10 entrance fee.would you ride naked for a gay crowd.they pay to see what stunters do,so why change **** just for them.

he's saying watching a rider with an american style do a SS circles and HC scrapes on open city streets is more exciting than watching a european rider do wheelie wobbles, acros, and burnouts on a closed track.
i tend to agreee with him.

And Mikkee how can you say this is not sick! This skill level to do this trick is off the charts and the risk is high. The croud loves it and in my eyes flips would score a ton for acro points in a comp.

And of course a 350ft HC coaster is a streetbike stunt.... You have to clutch a wheelie up to the BP, pull in the clutch, use the brake to keep it off the bar to roll it far, and bring it back to 2 wheels to be sucessful.
Does anyone notice the difference and or get my point yet..

I hope winning comps doesn't come down to if u can do a flip or not.
