Culture of Stunting - General Sportbike Discussion

danxmcgraw · 09-08-2008, 03:18 PM

To whom it may concern,
My name is Dan X. McGraw. I am a staff reporter at the Dallas Morning News. I am working on a story about the culture of motorcycle stunting, such as why people do it, how people get into it, what the thrill is and the like. I would love to talk to someone who stunts.
If you would, please contact me as soon as possible at -977-or at dmcgom.

Thank you,

Dan X. McGraw

Note to everyone, this guy is fishing for dumbasses to do a sensationalist piece about two 18 year old kids that died in the streets a couple days ago while allegedly riding with a group of guys doing stunts on the roads. DON'T FUCK OUR SHIT UP IN DALLAS BY GIVING THIS DOUCHE AMMO.

AS I SAID IN THE TEXAS FORUMS:

Quote:

I'm not going to slant any story. I am going to report a story about what stunt motorcyclists do and why. There will also be an element of what police think of it.
If stunt riders don't talk, the police will have no problem saying whatever they want, which most likely won't be an accurate perspective of what is going on.
If I can get some riders, I can write a balance story about what's going on. You just have to give me a chance. I'm also not claiming to be with the media. I am a reporter for The Dallas Morning News. Go google my name or call my office line.

Honestly, do you have any idea how many times stunters across the country have heard that "let me do a balanced story/give me a chance" stuff? There are a quite a few people on this site that could probably go on all day about riders that are safe that only ride on private property, riders that discourage irresponsible riding and mentor the younger cats, riders that do fund-raiser shows for charity, etc. But you guys will only publish the dramatic bullshit lines that make us look bad. Everytime.

Plus, you come on asking to talk to stunters right after two kids die on the streets that were allegedly riding in a group of other riders who were stunting? Come on man.. give me a break... You're looking for ammo. You're looking for a sucker that will paint us all into a corner.

I'd rather not see that happen... You'll probably get your clown. But not from here if I can help it.

BTW, Dan X. McGraw is the co-author of the Dallas Morning News piece covering the death of the two kids.

Call him and talk to him before passing judgement. Honestly, if they are going to burn stunters they will do it with or without your help.

DSOG Thomas · 09-09-2008, 12:20 AM
