How long have you been stunting?

I feel like I'm a really slow learner as I am having a really hard time trying to balance wheelies from side to side. Anyways, how long you guys been at it? I've been doing it on weekends for like a month or so now

Re: How long have you been stunting?

I've been riding my 50 for a few months now. Its kind of annoying because I can be out on it a couple hours every other day (or so) and my roommate can match me within 1/2 the time. Some people just learn faster. It sucks, but at the same time it motivates me to get out on it twice as much as him lol. Getting the basics down is the hardest part, once you've gotten past that and have decent control over the bike (and yourself) things start coming a lot faster because it's all basically the same thing, you just have to be able to adjust to the changes. In the end, it's all about practice and perserverance.

Re: How long have you been stunting?

I've been riding my 50 since November. I've got circles, spreader circles, stand up circles, one handers, high chairs, and some can can's on lock......None of those tricks are real complicating at all. But just goes to show how much i have progressed in 5 months. And thats really just riding a few times on the weekends, because i work 50-60hr weeks.....=-)

Re: How long have you been stunting?

I've forgootten more than most will ever know.

Been riding all my life, Raced mx back in the day, just started farting around with fiddys a few years back but didn't really get serious about learning things on'em until about 6 mos ago. Then took a 3 month break. I do it when I feel like it but not as often as I should.

If I cared, I'm pretty sure I could get alot better if time were on my side. It's just a pass time recreation and exercise at this point..

Re: How long have you been stunting?

Just over a year but I don't really get to ride a lot.

I got pulled over a few times in the summer and all the cops did was let me off with a warning but it kinda discouraged me from riding for a few months because I was afraid of getting in more serious trouble the next time.

Re: How long have you been stunting?

keep at it and dont think much about it. things will suddenly click and work out and thats it. practice the basics of bp and bc.

Re: How long have you been stunting?

since i've joined this site...off and on between the years...i went from single to married to being a father and some things have slowed me down....but i learned my fiddy within a week doing *** drags..then back brake a week after...circles took a while to get consistent....just keep riding and having fun.

I've been riding my 50 since april and have had maybe 10-15 good rides on it. It took me maybe 2-3 decent rides to get the side-side balance on lock. Just stay persistent, practice makes progress
