best advice givin right there lol. I bought a minty *** F2 with a fresh coat of paint... now its getting a new fresh coat of spray paint and turned into a stunt piece.

Worst yet is that im stunting a bike the bank owns

If your buyin a stunt bike id save learning wheelies and **** on your minty bike. Commin down hard from wheelies will take its toll on the whole bike and so will stunting. Once you get a feel for where BP is your probably goin to loop sometime around there. So wait till you get your stunt piece you'll thank us later haha.

Re: Learning Stunts ABC's

no slow stuff on aminty bike if your learning
My problem there is, it the only bike I have and can afford and want to whellie. But it seems clutching slow is easier to get the hang of than fast power, cause by the time it starts to coming up your running out of revs, room, and it seem like your not in as much control. Im trying sit down clucting/ 15-20, slip the clutch but it only comes up prob. less than afoot. I wanna get it down but don't want to wreck my only bike.

Dont stunt if you dont wanna wreck your bike. Trust me i thought "oh i can learn wheelies and hopefully ill just get good enough and not wreck in the process" i was wrong lol. And most others on here will agree with me that you dont think your goin to wreck till it happens. Definatly get a stunt bike if your worried about messin up yours cause you will its almost gaurenteed.

If you cant afford a big bike to stunt maybe buy a 50. You'll sharpen your stunting skills and learn a ton on it. Then when you can afford a stunt piece you can transfer what you learned on the 50 to the big bike.

Re: Learning Stunts ABC's

My first stunt was a couple donuts. Then i started doing power wheelies on a closed street. Get a crash cage, sliders, and a steering stabalizer (saved my freind's life). ALWAYS WEAR YOUR GEAR!!!
