Stuntrageous Competition
Good pics...really quick question. Would the riders in the pics and at that competion be considered the cream of the crop so to stay in the quad stunting department by everyone...this is the first comp i seen like this and just trying to get an idea.

Well out of 8 riders in the comp ya I placed not last I guess you could say. Don't pass judgment on poor picture taking. Everyone that was in the comp get's mad respect from me for just being in the comp.
No one knows what would of happened if anyone else showed up or maybe if I had gotten more then 5 hours of sleep that night maybe I would of won the damn comp. Who knows? Does anyone out there know for a fact they could of come to the fulton county airport entered the comp and won? Do ya?
Didn't think so.
All the **** poor posts about were they doing anything hard, and who was the best is really pissing me off. JT Crew is there for the love of the sport and to ride. Not to say ha ha were better then you.
But what do I know

Oh is that how it's done????
Thanks I didn't understand how that was done. I know it takes tons of control. He is a pimp in my book. But let me tell you something after my run (that was not that good) He came up to me and said good job Carl. Not is that all you can do or you suck!
Not only is he a pimp stunter he's an over all good guy. More people should be like him in this easy sport.....

ehhh personally i think anything on the bar is lame..no matter what it is....anyone who rides a quad or anyone who is just learning to wheelie knows how easy it is to go on your bar...
actually let me say this..the people doing watchtowers on quads that isnt easy..that takes alot of balance...any normal bar trick like
scraps...12's...cliffhangers...apehanger...parking .....just loop your wheelie and youcan do any of these....

Re: Stuntrageous Competition
I wasn't there.....sometimes pics don't do justice, and sometimes pics can make a blown trick look good. I think that the stuntrageous pics may follow those same rules, so keep an open mind when looking at them. Maybe a few of those pics were taken at the right time on a bad trick....maybe a few were a good trick but taken at the wrong time.
Personally when I go to comps I expect to see something I've never seen before....or see something that I may have seen, but executed 100 times better. I went to the first Stuntrageous back in July and I didn't really see those things....in fact I only saw 1 trick that I had never tried. I can't say that I wasn't impressed....but I can't say that I was either. I was kind of hoping for some long no-handers, or some really, really sick combos tricks.
If I would have went to Stuntrageous 2.0, I would have been real impressed to see that dude standing on the front of the quad.....man that would have been awesome. I also would have seen some really long no-handers from what I hear.
So anyway....to answer Nasty's question....."Would the riders in the pics and at that competion be considered the cream of the crop so to stay in the quad stunting department by everyone"......It's hard to tell.....The way the comp is setup, you get more points for being consistant than you do for pulling the sickest tricks. You also are forced to do endos AND burnouts.....when I say "forced", what I mean is, if you don't do them, you don't win, plain and simple because they are part of the scoring. In theory, I think this scoring system is alright, as it "should" pick out the rider that is best in all of the categories judged, but to me I think it has lead people to be more conservative with the tricks that they choose because if you screw up doing a huge trick, the person that is doing the smoother, easier tricks is going to win.
"If" the rules and scoring were setup differently I would have made sure that I was there.....I would have said f-it to all of the plans that I had that day, even though they were extremely important. Just like Carl said, I ride for fun...I have nothing to prove, and it doesn't matter to me if I win or lose....I know that I sound like I contridict myself there....and maybe I do.
Aaaaaaaaaanyway.....I could go on and on, but I'm almost done....I just want to reply to this one quote by alfmoney....
I can't see why it matters if there are 2 people on a quad at once or not....a sick trick is a sick trick.....When I went to the first comp there, I was not aware that two people could ride either (which I would have liked to have known), but I thought it was a good idea. Regarding the pics that were posted.....I see what you were saying...some of them may have been taken at the wrong time or whatever, BUT I have seen some of the pics you have posted from the past comps and I didn't see anything that looked that great in a still picture. I'm not talking **** either, but I don't see where there was that much "competition" down there in NJ if I were to only judge by looking at the pictures. Again, not to start anything, I'm just trying to say that still pictures don't tell the whole story.
Oh, and one more thing.....I agree that there aren't many impressive bar tricks.....I'd rather see flamingos all day.

I also know what you are saying about all the negative talk.....I'm not even gonna go there.....lol.

Well according to you it's not a sport. So what do you want out of stunting a quad? Quad stunting is going places. You see more and more stunters coming out of the wood work. trying new stuff pushing eachother. Going out there day after day riding and stunting. Your poor attitude will keep it just what it is, nothing.
CVb'z ,JT Crew, and afew others will take it further then dreamed of. You lack the abilty to see a positive future the quad stunting community.
