I put a scotts damper, engine cage, MSR raptor clutch lever, and all the other goodies to stunt. Today the snow is finally melted enough to stunt. I went to the lot and started to learn the staggered stand up wheelie. After about an hour my arms and legs were so tired I could barely move. Just to balance the thing I had to flatten the back tire way down. I got the wheelie down to about 5-10mph to BP but it wasn't easy or consistent at all. And this is with a lot of experience on quads. This sport is harder than I imagined but I'm going to stick with it. I did have a good time. I have to admit, I was way scared to crash. I guess I still have to look forward to that first crash. But anyways, the point of all this is you stunters are AMAZING!!!
