the leap from nothing to a dirtbike is huge, the leap from a dirtbike to a streetbike isn't nearly that big, and the leap from a bicycle to a dirtbike isn't that big either

Keep it up, although not really sure why I said that as you're better than me anyway, no point me encouraging you
should be the other way round!

a bike is a bike.. riding any 2 wheel vehicle teaches you something about riding.. wether its a dirtbike, motard, 50cc, streetbike, gpbike, harley, drag bike, bicycle, moped, buell, vtwin, 4cycl.. anything...
they are all completely different beasts all teaching the rider completely different skills.. to say the leap from one to another is huge or small is really up to the rider.. as some riders are more skilled at different abilities and techniques than others.. what is easy for some is hard for others.. its comparing apples to oranges...
ie: I can ride a streetbike like a crazyman - feel completely at home, fits like a glove and am completely confident in my abilities as to what i can and can not do... but... I cant wheelie a bicycle or a 50 to save my life...
skill level is 100% relative to what a person practices, and style IMO is derived on a mixure of tool and background.
I think anyone with a long history of riding a variety of bikes in any form has a signifigant advantage as far as overall skill than one who hasnt...
stuntriding more specific... there are very defined classes of skill, each taking completely different talents in order to perform. as I said what is easy for some is hard for others.. Wheelies, Burnouts, Endos, Freestyle... all completely different..
food for thought..

yep, for the first 15 minutes or so, when i thought i was going over i'd grab the front brake lever, after that i got used to using the foot brake and it was all throttle control from then on
