Gotta pay to play dude! If your afraid of getting hurt then this isn't your sport. Road rash sucks, but mastering new tricks over time is well worth a bit of rash. Haven't broken any bones yet, knock on wood, but shit happens.

use a pit bike for a bit I know its not the same but its a cheap way of getting the basics

DIRTYJEFF636s · 07-03-2009, 10:24 AM

i had been riding for over 2 years when i bought my stunt bike. i'm a all around great rider on the street, and with stunting i suck. got bp, and i kinda roll stoppies (25-30ft) but it's a whole nother thing. i've been riding for 3 and a half years now and stunting for around a year (woulda been longer but blew my motor last summer) and i'm just now trying fis. just ride normal and ride for awhile before you think about stunting

now i gotta go change my tire so i can go practice

it doesnt matter for how long you ride your bike, but how much you ride it ...
maybe you should go to a small race track and learn your bike
forget the city and hit the twisties ... this is how you are becoming comfortable with your bike ... when you have your butt seat shaped

you'll be better off trying out new things on your bike with friends that already got down the things you are learning. they'll be there to tell you what your wrong and what you need to do to improve!

Personally, I'm assed out on that! There isn't anyone around here that stunts. . .I am a squidy myself when it comes to stunting, but the peeps around here are a bunch of mohawk wearing retards that constantly cause unwanted attention!!!!!! One fool rode a pow pow out of the parking lot at a small bike meet and ran right into another rider because he didn't knwo what the hell he was doing. . .

Dont be like most newbs and sit here on the computer asking questions. Get out and ride 24/7. the comfort will come sooner than u think.

aut117 · 07-04-2009, 10:28 AM

im only 18 and just baught my bike 3 months ago and just started riding parking lot about a month ago and can already do coasters and some pretty good stoppies...i raced mx since i was about 5 years old witch might have helped a little but like the dude said above...less talk and more riding and good luck

ABQSLOBRA · 07-04-2009, 05:49 PM

the more hours you spend in the seat the sooner you'll be comfortable.

moto1399 · 07-04-2009, 06:18 PM

Youll never get it.... its too hard, and you dont have the heart kid

Nah jk, I dont have any input of value

JOHNNYSTUNTS · 07-04-2009, 06:44 PM

get a fifty!!!!

thats where i started
and it helps alot to ride with people that got skill, so then your like i gotta ride like that!! IMO

JOHNNYSTUNTS · 07-04-2009, 06:48 PM

FYI
stuntlife doesnt help wheelie either

C.Dickey · 07-04-2009, 08:00 PM

I def have to say I have heard this "start on a 50" from a ton of ppl. Are y'all saying that bc it saves a ton of money on repairs or saying that bc the skills you learn actually transfer well. I have a 4 month old gsxr 600 and I'm not really into wrecking it and I have been looking at f4i's for the lots but keep hearing this....making me wonder now since sooo many ppl say it.

Lil'Fiddy-Girl · 07-05-2009, 09:03 AM

The first time I ever road a bike was the middle of last year .. I was interested in stunting, the moment I saw my first wheelie performed .. I knew right away it's something I know i'm passionate about, and will practice my ass off to get down!!

it goes hand in hand homie, you get a fifty learn the brake control and throttle control, and all that, and yes it transfers, it did for me anyway!!

dont be a pussy, the bike sits straight up and down almost as if it was supposed to, does that make sense?

and when your on the big bike and your tryin to get bp or idle, you go out and clutch that bitch right the fuck up from dead stop,and dont do fag dragsTHEY ARE FOR FAGS if you start ridin the throttl put it down and try again, dont go out doin speed wheelies like some goon leavin the lot that watched stunters ride all day!!

I'm just stuck in the saving up money and deciding to go 50 or f4i to start stunting with. I'm leaning to f4i but I keep hearing all this 50 talk. It seems at the moment I pop more wheelies racing (popping the clutch faster than usual) than when I actually attempt to pick the front end up. Oh, and no I dont wanna be the tool rocking the pwr wheelies...too many good stunters in the area to rock that in grps and be laughed off the road. I'm just ready to have bp down so I can stop rocking it in the follow grp.
