I bought my ninja in April and have wanted to stunt since the very first day I got it. But I decided to wait till I improved a little. Now I'm really trying to wheelie. I don't know whats wrong with me, I just can't seem to get the front the tire more than 2 feet off the ground. All I can say is that an empty parking lot, a friend, and a truck is all you need when startin out. Good luck to ya!

I bought my F4i end of april, just rode for fun till i met some stunters, did my first wheelie on july 4th, and my first rollingendo. so in the last 4 months ive goen from not being able to wheelie to doing long *** sitdowns, standups for a mile plus, high chairs, endos, tank wheelies first and second gear, skitchin, christs, elevators, one handed rolling endos, hand stands on teh tank, and finally i scraped last weekend, but i also didnt land it well i fell and crashed. but that was teh first time ive ever crashed after learnign all that stuff. a lot of stuff in 4 months. just dont push yourself too hard. and ALWAYS wear a lid.

bought my 02 R6 new. A couple of months after that started 1st gear clutchin'. Now I don't ride unless there is some stuntin involved. No point other wise...you get me? Oh, and once you lose the 'show room baby' feel toward your bike, that's when ****'ll start to happen. It also depends on how comfortable yu are on your bike. build that confidence up, not too much, then just go for it

I started to wheelie my first bike when I first brought it to my campus, some reason I randomly figured out how to wheelie this 650lb monster. From there, it didn't take long when I bought my sportbike before I was attempting things in the middle of winter. Main thing was I took things as I was ready for them......Do you push your limits, or do they push you. Think about it!

Started on an F2 and thought it was to old and crappy to do any good stunts on it so I went to an F4 about two months later and started trying sheet. After the F4 was around for 6 months I stepped up to the 954 and man what a diference. I still suck but I love to try and I love the sport.
