street stunting and Xgames
In your opinion will this ever get to the xgames ?
I think it won't cause it's a pretty small number of stunts that you can do at low speeds and they're not that impressive. Plus most of the people can do most of the tricks. I mean it's not like in other X-games sports where each rider has its own style, here almost all the stunts are done the same way, not too much variety. But this is my
so don't cuss me out if you disagree.

Everyone's style is different...Some people make it look easy and some make it look sloppy! New tricks are in the making right now...everytime I think something is impossible someone pulls that **** off...This sport is stilll very new in the US and once it goes mainstream it's OVER! I cant wait to watch STREETBIKE FREESTYLE ON ESPN2!

I hope this sport eventually makes it that far. I know that most of us have been working our butts off. We eat, sleep, and breath motorcycles. Everyone definatley deserves it. Havent you seen the way that people look at you when your doing these stunts? Its definatley a crowd pleaser

hey onsomething, i figured out what your on.....crack, if it's not impressive get off the site, i think it can make the x-games and its not only a few tricks everyone can do, you say the sport is not going anywhere but just look at kyle woods parkin' the highchairs recently, stepping it up for everyone, take free style moto cross for example, last year metzger came out with the backflips and everyone said that is all that can be done, but this year people are bustin 360's and workin on 360 backflips, they are pushing the envelope and making the sport progress, it has only been in the x-games for a couple of years and has came a long ways, so put some of the crazy ****'s off this site on espn and see how much this sport progresses, everyone will feed off others energy and bust something we thought was impossible, like tony hawk and a 900, get us on tv and i guarantee stunters from all over will step up to the plate and represent

It pleases the ladies
People look at you when you like you are crazy? They just don't know. I am predicting this sport will go a long way. If they let it in the x-games/ gravity games it would be one of the most watched events. I assure you of that. People just love to watch thinking that you are about to kill yourself/crash at any moment. It is simple human nature. .........and oh ya......... the ladies:happyguy

it will go as long as everyone treats this sport as a proffessional sport. staying outta trouble, being legal, and stuff like that. its just hard to "get a crowd" for what we do. yeah people go see it and are like hell yeah at the tricks we do, but its not like watching guys fly 100ft through the air. i want it to go but we all have to make it go, so lets do it.....

are you saying no one can have style? You can be the BEST rider in the world and if you dont have any style its really no fun to watch you. I've seen mediocre riders with STYLE impress me a lot more than very good riders with no style.

i've seen the average non-sportbike 
nascar crowd of over 3000 unimpressed at slower more technical stunts, yet go nuts over something as simple as a christ or skitching. but to the hardcore followers, they look for difficulty, precision, and form/style. so it'll hafta blend to reach a larger market, then focus as it progresses and builds a larger fanbase. thats my

obviously... have you seen the stunt shows that they have in europe?!?!? They draw huge crouds and have stunts that nobody does here yet, and we have stunts that they don't as well...
It'll hit the x-games once people start making it crazy again. Right now everyone is practicing slow ****, which is great to get the hang of it, but now do what the euro guys do and hit really fast 12's with lots a sparks and then slow it down and do slow **** and people will crowd around a strip to see it, then it'll hit the x-games.
It just needs to get to the point that you need gear. You can do slow **** in shorts and t-shirt and not get hurt if you mess up, so who wants to see that? nobody! It's fun to do and watch for us that appreciate the skill involved, and I'd watch slow tricks all day, but the average joe wants to see insane, fast **** that can really hurt you if you mess up. It needs to get hardcore again

so don't cuss me out if you disagree. Small number of stunts at slow speeds, HUH? and not all stunts are performed at slow speeds. Ever see the clip of Kyle scraping while doing the high chair?
Style, dude, I'm not cussing you out, but this is one of those sports like Skateboarding that if you don't have style, you still have style. Understand? Like, no matter what, you are doing it a certain way, that makes it YOUR style.
Not to much variety, I'm not even going to touch that one.
Do a search on Yahoo for "motorcycle stunts" in Parenthesis. You only come up with 1,660 matches when I did it last. Don't tell me there are not people interested in this sport or that it doesn't have the potential. Maybe a few years ago when LVX was about the only video out, but the sport has made leaps and bounds since then to even get the title of SPORT.
I don't mind your two cents, it gets people to think and to react, but come on, that is more like a $.00000001 of a cent of input with what seems to be little knowledge of what is really going on here and THAT is my
