So does anyone stunt in the rain. I'm talkin slow, parking lot stuff. I have only just started startin and love to practice, but everyday I get off work, it's freakin raining. It's beautiful all day until I get home. Yesterday I almost said F*ck and went and practiced in the rain anyway.
Damn New Orleans weather...

So does anyone stunt in the rain?

 

Its tough in the rain especially sloooow stuff, when you clutch it up your tire will spin and its tough to get traction. I would recomend low air, but I hear you on the weather thing, Pittsburgh sucks!!!

 

without a doubt the best time to ride, even better when there are HUGE !!! PUDDLES :YEAH

 

low tire pressure and soaked lots are fun. lots of fun.

 

nice for burnouts!!!

 

Half of Stuntlife 05 was in the rain....You can still do 90% of the Stunts while its raining!!! It also helps remind you to keep your circles smooth!

 

i lose almost no traction in the rain. except for a little on my left rear peg. nothing will stop me from practicing

 

It's doable, you can execute the tricks pretty much the same, but a few weeks ago it was sprinkleing the ground was almost completely wet.. I came out of a SS circle a little funny and hopped off and brought the bike down.. As soon as my feet hit the ground I slipped a little and almost busted my *ss..

I see slipping on the ground pegs seat whatever your feet is on if wet... Doesn't sound like a good idea..

 

We do it all the time it's no big deal you can do everything you can do on dry pavement...........

 

what about stunting in wet grass? james i know you have a comment on this..

 

have a couple times this summer kinda fun to change it up

 

Yeah, I'm not doin circles yet anyway...barely just doing slow wheelies.

 

wet grass and 2 up too

 

Hell ya **** is fun. Just be careful on your pegs. My foot slipped off my rear peg coming into a quick coaster in the rain a few months ago and i fell into the seat and almost ate crap big time--i still have no clue how i saved it but i did.

 

i love it in the rain...you just gotta use less throttle before you clutch it or the tire will break loose

 

Well today is still looking sunny...hopefully I can get out for a few hours tonight. The good thing about New Orleans is there's a ton of open parking lots from busnesses that got destroyed from Katrina. Also, there really isn't a ton of cops around here either...FTP!!

 

I forget what their name is but isnt there a pretty decent stunt team in the Big Easy? They were interviewed and fotod for super streetbike a couple issues ago. I bet those cats ride a lot!! worth a shot

 

It's raining here right now, and I'm tempted. I will pass though cuz I tried it once and I hate it (pegs = slippery). Tires will spin a lot. It's a good time to work on your skitching though cuz your feet can slide so you won't grip and bail and you can ski totally off the bike. Tomorrow should be nice so I'll wait...

 

always ride in the rain

 

Yeah, there's a team here in New Orleans called Outkast. I have met three guys on here, but haven't met up and rode with them in person yet. I've only moved here about 3 months ago.

Well wouldn't you know it, I'm about to leave work and the clouds are rollin in again...I'm goin tonight no matter what, I'll let you all know how it went if I'm not in the hospital or whatever. Thanks for everyone's responce.
