Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?
.. except I'm 10 years older!
I woke up sore as hell from only riding about 1 hour on the motard yesterday, I crack and pop every time I move, I have to get off my bike to **** about every 30 min, and I even have one of those boots off a belt sander in my drawers to collect all the dust from my farts!! What's wrong with me??LOL

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?
I really got into stunting in March of 06 when i was 23 which isn't that old but i wish i would've started about 2 years before because there was a stunt revolution going on in Otown which is about 45 minutes away from me and i had no idea. I'm just mad because i feel like i missed out on alot.

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?
i'm 23, started sit down wheelies about 2 months ago, just starting staggered and getting closer to bp, spent 6 years riding like a loon on the road, so i feel like i'm starting late too

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?
rocked my first slow wheelie on a 600 at age 42 ....does that count ?
granted i been rockin Pow Pows and poppa stoppies for 20 years... but never knew about brake control or riding idle wheelies (that **** was unheard of in 1987 ) and there was no internet to research this stuff (It was just a different time in the evolution of motorcycling.
I had a gary rothwell Vid and the original FTP when they came out....but I just thought those guys were "naturals" I didnt realize that mere mortals (like myself) could do stuff like that with dedecated practice....Until last year..(with the help of reading posts on Stuntlife)..when I learned RB and Idle wheelies and No handers on my quad....I knew I could learn the art of slow wheelies on my 6hunny.... and I have .... I still suck compared to real stunters....But I'm consistent....I'm improving regularily...and I'm having fun ... you cant ask for more than that
In the future i'd love to do some shows (I've done a couple on the Quad...but I want to rock the Bike) and maybe in 08 or 09 compete in a comp or two (as an amatuer.....or a senior if they ever have a seniors class

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?
Im 26 still poor and can't afford a crotch rocket. Its about Rm 89000 for an R1 or CBR 1000 thats USD 1 = RM 4.2 and our Government taxes for vehicle is whooping lots of ****. Man you guys bike are cheap. I wish I was rich.
