Winter RAIN Stunting Questions
for those who practice in the rain or on wet ground, how much different is it as far as traction then when it's dry? you know like is it wwwaayyy harder or not really that bad? I want to go out basically when it is wet and i feel like practice-n, just kinda spooked of lowsiding while i'm on one. i want to continue practice-n my slow stuff in the winter but of course i'm not going to be doing any stoppies or nuthin retarded like that but yea i need some advice on this one, what to look out for etc... The only winter stunting/practice i've seen was on a old *** Star Boyz clip and then bullo and westcoast hitting circles in puddles (more like pools) of water.

Re: Winter RAIN Stunting Questions You can pretty much do most of the stuff that you usually do in the dry but it is more difficult especially combos. If you are wanting to be doing endoes and fast circle stuff I recommend a Pirelli Diablo just my

Re: Winter RAIN Stunting Questions
I am from Buffalo and the only major issue I have is riding and hiting an ice patch on the lot. Make sure you warm up the tires and the bike. We have been riding throughout the season. It hit 32 degrees yesterday. Have fun die hard rider.

Re: Winter RAIN Stunting Questions
mad props for everyone in this thread whos dedicated.
riding in the cold and rain is just something that you have to deal with when living in the north. otherwise riding only when its warm 5 months out of the year will put you so far behind everyone else its not even funny.
