Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
Someday the sport has a posibility to make someone a good career it is still young as for me i'm dedicated to my 9 to 5 and stunting is what i do for fun to forget about the work week i'd love to make money doin the sport i love but...the sport has a long way to go...
it will get there may be awhile but it will...
and whos to say that any of the people thinkin the sport won't take off or that they arent talented enough in it to make the big bucks wont be someday and could steal the show...it doesnt happen over night

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
how can you say its going nowhere when it has already come so far? lets see, there is a weekly cable show on SPEED channel dedicated to sportbikes and the stuntriding comunity. maybe you have heard about it. its called Super Bikes! perhaps you also did not notice the local comps that take place on a weekly basis across the GLOBE. not to mention the XDL series comps. i dont know about where you live but down here there are plenty of dealerships, charity events, etc. that are always looking for stunters to perform. i guess in all your ignorance you did not notice the factory support riders receive either plus all of the companies that have emerged due to the progression of the sport(ie SI,FI,OMR,HoyHey). you sir have either been stunting in cave by your self for the past five years or have your head extremely far up your ***. and thats my $0.02!

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
I'm not here to argue, flame, complain, etc. but I just wanted to say how much I personally enjoy watching this sport. From beginners to pros they are all entertaining to me. I'm not easily amused, well maybe I am, but that's besides the point because there are many others just like myself that will continue going to watch you guys ride at stunt spots, comps, etc. I've been watching since 2006 and I'm still a sucker for just a simple wheelie. Maybe it's because I can't do one myself and I know how hard it is to actually even pull off a fraction of what you guys are capable of.

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
I don't understand your point of posting up here with your opinion of whether stuntriding will be mainstream or not..? If you wana keep it all underground for yourself, and do it just for fun then do it!! Is somebody holding you back..? Obviously you don't care, so shut your mouth and go and do what you wana do, and don't pay any attention to what others are doing with their stuntlife. Apparently something is bothering you enough to come on here with an opinion so what is this really about?

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
Just thought id share this, all you who think and talk about stuntriding getting big? It never will so stop talking about it. X-games this, bullshit that. I love riding just as much as anyone on this site, maybe more, (when something is not broken on my body) but when you really think about it, stuntriding is just one big show-off deal.. Stuntriders including myself are nothing but show-offs, and im not saying thats a bad thing, its just what it is.. I hope riding never gets big, because i like how it is like this, underground.. I love people who do nothing but try become pro and still dont go anywhere.. Wanna be a pro stunter? Then you wanna be broke? What maybe some tv time, a couple tires some spare parts, and if your bill d, win almost every comp and maybe make a couple g's? It aint going anywhere , and it never will and i hope it stays that way. Wanna make money in the stunt world, find a loop hole and build something and market it.:YEAH i dont want to insult anyone saying this, its just how i feel and i think a few others but no one will say it, so i did... Hope i didnt offend anyone...

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
:YEAH But really, come on..this sport HAS evolved and continues to every year. 2008 is the first year with 12 MAJOR Competitons as opposed to the 3 or 4 a year in the past. There are tons of new riders joining the sport every day. There IS public and corporate interest.

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
sucks when u think u know but u dont
Thats probably the dumbest argument I've heard...nobody else will say it but I will.
Not saying it will or won't go xgames but did u actually watch X this year? Weak! Stunting fits and I guarantee would be as entertaing if not more so than some other stuff they had going on
And if stunting is going nowhere y is there a greater and continuing interest from manufacturers and corporate sponsors?
U can keep ur riding underground but u aren't in the game like some of us and dont have any idea what's really happening right now
No offense but thats the truth

not saying stunting is gonna go to x games or not.....but if we do move onto bigger things like its heading, i am gonna try my hardest to be considered one of the top guys! push yourself and opportunities will come.
until then, ride hard and try your best to not get hurt cuz its about to get more and more dangerous.

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
if u think it wont go anywhere. what is your motive here? to come tell everyone its not going anywhere so everyone can just give up an be like your rite , im sure u shouldn't give up ur life an ride. but if u wanna go hard on stunting just have something to fall back on. if stunting does fail one day an goes know where then atleast ull have that extra job laying around.... if everyone gave up now it would just be retarted, it got further then ppl though it would 8 years ago, so in the next years to come it will go alot closer to bigger money.. its ok to have an opinion. no need to make a thread about it an bring everyone down cuz u saw a young 18 year old killing it and he got all the attention, and left you with the fat girls....

Re: Stunt riding will never go anywhere.
i have a stupid question.. ok.. so if stunting is going nowhere why would manufactures sponsor people.. why would big name companies sponsor people.. if they thought no one wanted to watch why would they sink so much time and money into it.. sorry if you've been riding for a few years and your not into it as much as you were.. oh heres one more question for ya.. your avatar is a pic of you doing a show... wtf?? way to keep it underground...
