Who do you look up to in our sport - Stunt Discussion

MikeNicelyFilms · 06-19-2006, 05:58 AM

What rider, photagrapher, filmer, editor, sponsor or what ever it is you do in this sport. who do you look up to and respect.

and tell me why. what type of impact has that person made in your stuntlife or anything at that matter.

Insane J · 06-19-2006, 06:22 AM

First of all, I look up to everyone that is much better then me, but still treats me like an equal.. Much respect for those, then, I can name up a couple of names who inspire me the most, and keep me going !

Joe Brown, Darius, E-Dub, Brestunt, Nick Apex, Joe Molina, Luxury, 256North and many others offcourse, but it's hard to think of everyone when I'm not behind my own computer with all the movie clips on it

lky · 06-19-2006, 06:34 AM

i look up to alot of people...

Film
Don Drew and mike you guys are just straight up creative, and i love your work..

stunters
First of all my fellow team riders DangerousDave and ITZMATTY.. and then my fellow pro heros Darius, Joe Brown, Joe Molina, Jason Pullen, Mana, Bullo, CrazyDan, TonyD.

without these guys and more, there is noway i would be doing what im doing....

cheers

Insane J · 06-19-2006, 06:49 AM

Yeah also alot of credits for Drew Stone and Mike Nicely ! Love these guys work :YEAH

And a couple of another names that inspire me:

Bill D, Johnie Do, Christian Pfeiffer, Joshua from Controlled Insanity...

da Liks · 06-19-2006, 07:05 AM

inspiration:

Howard Sie, Insane J, racemaniac, Klaas de Jong, Wheelieboyz, servinitup.com

Look up to

think they ride great:

Darius, Edub, Mana, KYLE AND JOE!! long island extremes

KF_Chris · 06-19-2006, 10:41 AM

I look up to and respect everyone who's been in the biz for a while, the OG's who paved the way to how we stunt now.

Inspirations for riding.
Apex, Outermost, O-Town Gary, Gorka, Joe Brown and Rowdy from Anger Management.

I'm into combos and stoppies, so that's who I like to watch

MikeM · 06-19-2006, 11:29 AM

I look up to everyone thats taller than me

Tony L · 06-19-2006, 11:38 AM

am all about Nick Apex's riding style i tend to ride more like he does so its. Editing I like all styles just like riding everyone had their own gangster stuff to bring to the table. Power Stuntworx dude is more like a friend than a sponsor thats the whole business relationship is cool but you gotta make friends all around the spectrum.

FSPalex · 06-19-2006, 11:58 AM

anyone that rides and doesnt take it too seriously i look up to.

Hawco · 06-19-2006, 12:03 PM

film - mike nicely, drew stone
riders- darius, outermost, bullo (love the street vids)
also the starboyz they have been doin it forever and i just love their style

12inar1 · 06-19-2006, 12:13 PM

myself, and myself

ExtremeAcres · 06-19-2006, 12:28 PM

I look up to most all of you right now....you are all doing what I want to be doing ( and I will be on my way soon.....supposed to pick up a thrasher and some spares tomorrow!) Here's my opinions as a Newbie....
Please understand....I'm a newbie to Stunting (as the sport it is today)...but I'm not a newbie to motorcycles or Doing wheelies, burnouts, and stoppies. I dont know many of the names in the Sport yet, Cause I've been racing and following racing for so long (that is where my knowledge of "the players" is).
I have dial up , so I cant watch many vids on the puter

I have about a dozen Vids on DVD and I watch them regularily....
The 4 guys that come to mind right away are all leaders in the Sport.
Darius, Kyle Woods, tony D, and Joe molina..... I havent heard Darius talk alot....but man, he can ride...and I know it came from alot of practice. That's what I respect....and That's what I think i can see in all of these guys. These guys have all dedicated themselves to Practice.
I love Joe molina's attitude. I really like hearing these guys talk....especially when they try and describe why they do it......"it's in the heart".....
I also think Drew Stone is cool as Shit....he reminds me ALOT of an old friend I used to party with .....And I'm sure he is as cool as he seems.

There are many other guys that I think are Awesome....I mean Off the Wall Bad Ass....But I just dont know there names yet...... There are Some Black Dudes....out of Miami , I think....One Dude has HUGE Dreadlocks..... I thought that group was Exceptionally Cool......

Turn offs are PBR (pure bred riders I think)....I'm not knockin their Riding....great Riders....They Definately practice....I respect all that.... But the guns and the Smoke dont need to be advertised...(That aint no big deal)....everyone does it....but most dont feel the need to advertise it.....If they want to set themselves apart from others ...they should do it in their riding.... ( Put one of them Pitbulls up on the tank....and Do Some huge Wheelies and Stoppies) just my

New trick i'm waitin to see ? back flip from the tank to the seat While rollin'.... I know it's comin' ....just dont know who will do it first....maybe that Aaron kid (14 or something) in about another year or two.....

Well, i could go on and on.... but i'll save myself for some other posts....

You guys are ALL Awesome in my eyes.....

OH Yeah ! In one vid .... there is a Chick (I think ....I hope) that is doing a Christ on the seat (but riding away from the camera) and she pulls up her shirt and flashes 2 other guys making a pass in this direction.
That was pretty much the coolest chick stunter i've seen yet.

Keep it up ALL of You !!! and I cant wait to see your next creation Mike ! later, Chris

Fallout Carl · 06-19-2006, 12:37 PM

Tons of riders, but my biggest influence overall has been Drew Stone. I followed the sport and have had tons of bikes on and off over the years. I had seen the original LVX, Starboys, etc. But it was Urban Streetbike Warriors and Black Sheep Squadron that really inspired me enough to get out and start stunting. Drew is also a good guy and has put a lot of time, effort and money into promoting and elevating this sport, so he gets mad respect from me.

900stunt · 06-19-2006, 12:41 PM

i look up to jason britton, alex flores, darius khashabi, eric hoenshell, and joey barta.............the OG's

+2 ... I look to anyone that has skills but is still down to earth to help people out and give constructive cristism and isn't a upity prick. Hmmm riders I'd said Darius (Servin it up was the first vid I ever saw when i came into riding), Mana, Apex, the Faultline guys, Aaron, Phil(Sacnuts) and the list could go on. I respect any newbie, squid or whatever that comes and and is willing to go practice in front of better riders.

287ridah · 06-19-2006, 02:35 PM

Darius, Alex, Britton, beats & warren, sacnuts, PBR, Legion, molina, 91sicks, underground riders, ruthless tactics.
Straight gangsta style on clean bikes motivating folks like myself to become the best well rounded rider i can be. Have fun and never quit cause you will always have the haters hatin'.

skidmark · 06-19-2006, 03:28 PM

i just got a copy of mana's vid the other day... absolutly rediculous. I look up to anyone that can rock it like that. So there are a few names to list, but you get the idea.
