Ok being that I'm a newbie I pretty much think everything stunt is cool. I'm not so bad where I think fast wheelies are harder than slow ones. I have a good concept on difficulty levels. But I do get confused sometimes on what gets props and what doesn't.

Ok. Bar tricks. People say these things are gay. I think they're cool. High speed stuff. Long highway wheelies. Are these not considered respectable tricks anymore? They are to me.

What about real simple stuff? Circle Burnouts (which isn't that simple in my opinion) endo's less than triple digit footage, but executed well, christs, skitching, etc. No respect?

I can't pull off the wheelie stuff that well but I learn the other stuff a little quicker. To me I think it's all cool.

Sometimes it seems you gotta be pullin' circle wheelies to be considered somewhat decent.

What's the consensus of this board? Make your Cool list and Gay list of tricks.

Better yet what do you think makes a good rider/stunter vs a bad one?

i think the highway stuff should be in some way respected,cause thats how it all started,and thats how i started out

sungwei - I feel you on this one bro'! I hate hearing people knocking iron cross/high chairs or even asking "Are circle wheelies gay now?" ****, only between stunters will a highchair not raise the eyebrow! Even when I'm just geek riding (circa '94.. i.e. Jeremy McGrath, Dallas Supercross) passer by-ers at our practice spot damn near flip out!

IMO, ***when any trick is done right its impressive.***
I take it that sitting on your tank and making the front wheel 'hop' off the ground isn't really a 'trick', but non the less is someone busts out a full on balanced ironcross down I-35.. then F**K mang thats billy (..as in badass)!!! I dunno, maybe the pro's in here got a little more input. My $.02

I think any trick on a bike is a good trick. Cause thats what we love to do. Any trick done right is a good trick. People that are cocky and dog other peoples tricks just bring the sport down in my opinion. Its all about progressing. Just squids should be called gay. Thats what I call gay. Whenever a person thinks he is a bad *** trying to show off in front of people and he can't even get the wheel more than a foot off of the ground, thats gay. To be an all around stunter you gotta be able to do even the tricks some people think are gay. Thats just my opinion.

The whole gay thing is played out. Each trick deserves it's own respect! It's all a matter of opinion.

exactly how i feel
but the only trick i think is gay is a christ
like what the hell are you doing once you get up there i can do them but havent in a long time i guess when i first did one it was cool but now i think its played
one trick i think is really pimp that a lot of the pros think is played are the handstand sorry dont know the lingo word for it
i guess i really like it because i cant do one
hell i cant do a handstand in my livingroom with my legs leaning against the wall

i ride with this one newbie and he will swear to you that his favorite trick is when you stand on the side of the bike burnning out and walk it around "the move ya boy did on biker boys on top the bridge" is that even a trick??

I give props to any trick thats either dangerous, or hard to do.

WTF

NoNameStunter

Yea dog thats what it's all about. You seem totally f*ck!ng crazy, if you want some "street credit" why don't you try lighting yourself on fire and wheeling of a damn brigde.

all tricks executed properly are hot. bottom line is when you do a freestyle run you mix it up. different tricks show variation of skill, also whats easy to some is hard to others so you cannot say oh thats easy. example...the christ...Rick Payne just learned them not to long ago....but that ****er will rock coasters, circles and other **** all day long....it was a trick he originally did not feel comfortable doing...i guess the bottom line is anything can be repetitive but all tricks should be respected.

there are certain tricks i don't favor, but i don't think they're gay or anything. just not my style.

and some tricks taht i don't like, can be done with a certain riding style that some people have that makes them look 10 times better.

for instant, joe brown's highchairs, very smooth and controled, makes a highchair look like a real highchair. that man has style

wtf does this mean i read it like 50 times and still can't desifer the bitch, did you attend school, or are you an imigrant

CrazyJ

all tricks take some skill in a way ! i have to say street is something people over look ...yea all the guys can ride a track or a lot ride slow *** **** ,no handers,tankwheelies ..etc but there are people and trust me i know that can rock the **** out of a lot or a track and and soon as they get on the street ..nothing its like their skurred ? who knows

im not talkin **** its the truth

Tenny

agreed i have no clue what the hell i suckatstunting was talking about. oh well

Pepe

I can't stop laughing at this post. I did the same thing . This guy pops up every once and a while and U can't read a f'ing thing they say!!!


For the thread----
I can't remember who said it but it went soemthing like
"You would be suprised how many "pros" can do **** like no handers and can't even do a damn burnout, straight or in a circle, worth a ****!!"

A well rounded, technical rider is what makes a stunt cool

A douch bag is what makes a stunt lame!!!

Droptop

There are alot of cool tricks out there.... But You if you can only do certain ones.. then be cool and do those... Odds are you can pull up and impress the regular street guy... Most people wouldnt even attempt what we do!!!!

I dont even care if they think Im cool.... In my own Head I know I am!!

indy z-ryder

acrobatics are pretty cool if done right, aaron brunelle from geared up has some pretty awesome stuff like that. Really, really long burnouts are cool to watch in the beginning but then it sorta loses my attention

i think all stunts are cool because i suck at all of them... when i learn slow highchair circles maybe ill call a highway wheelie gaaabbage but until then i respect everything!
