Surface

it seems to me that when we think of stunt practice we think of what we need to do to adjust the bike, body position etc, But every place i go or practice i do, as soon as i get out the van i survey the ground..... study it for flatness, grit, grip, width, length and how level it is....this has more of a profound affect on how i can do a stunt.

I tell myself what is potentially possible in these conditions... different stunters have different levels of skills but are also prepared to do more on a different surface....

so whats best-worst acceptable
how do you feel about surfaces and areas etc

Re: Surface

learning a new trick is always bettr with a flat smooth spot. as you get better then you can cope with **** surface. its all about skill at the end of the day. watch people like CP and he can circle combo on a fookin rock face:YEAH

Re: Surface

I used to ride on **** surfaces all the time and you get used to it a bit, but cambers are my biggest problem I just can't get on with them and it really affects my riding.. soo smooth and flat is definetly the biggest factor in a good spot. The smoother the better really. I think people who stunt wwell on **** surfaces are really skilled!! nice work...

Re: Surface
