Question How did you start out?

Ok, I'm 14. I'm interested in stuntin and **** in the future
I was just wondering what you guys did before u started riding/stuntin on sportbikes.
Ride around on a BMX or mountain bike bunny hoppin over stuff, wheeling up and down the driveway, etc?

Thanks,
Adam[SoCaLi]


BTW, I'm too lazy/cheap to buy a fiddy!!

i started out by falling over. i fall over a lot.



no seriously, the more wrecked my bike gets, the less im afraid of it getting un-prettier.

Re: How did you start out?

Got a ZX6R when I was 18. I was one of very few that could ride stand-ups around here, so I wanted to keep going off of that. I had my bike all done up with a full polish job, and a slick paint job etc . . . . I've now dropped it a few times, so I'm going full-on stunt. I've ordered a racing905 cage and scrpae bar for his year - I'll see how fast I pick up the basics and go from there. Wheelies were nothing to learn, so I feel comfortable that I'll be a natural at it. All it take is the will to learn, and strongly de-value your bike!!!

Re: How did you start out?

u have 2-3 years before u can get a big bike. u should just suck it up and buy a fiddy or an inexpensive dirt bike to stunt on. that way u can learn the basics.

Re: How did you start out?

I'm mostly saving up for a car. I'm a hardcore BMW *****. So thats what I'm saving up for.
I'll just practice on my POS BMX bike i got in '01.
I need to practice with my balance on one wheel.
What are your methods or ways to better your balancing?
