what do you want to see during shows
looking for a list of things we can do during shows to improve things for the spectators.
looking for any suggestions that you may have that can add or improve a show.

Seriously though I think the biggest thing is letting the fans get to meet you in person. Maybe let some kids get a pic sitting on your bike like you did at Oxford. Thats the stuff that they will never forget

have a part of the show where the crowd can make suggestions for tricks they want to see, (sorta like who's line is it on abc where the crowd gets to list what acts they do) this would probably be a good way to even try new tricks or switch things up???????????????
really not sure due to not being to a lot of shows, I've only seen LVX, StarBoyz, and you guys live. Watched plenty of vids though :YEAH
I guess the biggest thing is to switch stuff up. As a fan in the crowd I love the "circle wheelie" but not for 10 minutes straight without seeing other tricks, combine the high speed **** with the slow.
This is gay but it'll go along with your group, Do a burnout spelling out Vertical Outlaws in the pavements :YEAH

Raffle off or give away Wheelie rides like you gave that Exile at the Winterport show of course you would have to have them sign some kind of release form or something

thats a good idea but the only prob with that is that a lawyer can chew right through a liability waiver in about 3 sec. Besides parents would not be happy about their kids gettin on the back of a stunt bike with some "crazy dude".
I think the audience making a suggestion as to what they want to see for a trick is a good idea.
anyone else have any thoughts

Re: what do you want to see during shows
It's funny though how what we think is entertaining doesn't mean anything to the average spectator at a dragstrip. Coasters for instance- just looks like a wheelie to them. Heck, They think that a christ is cool. Most crowds are just into the high speed stuff which is played out for all of us but when we're doing shows, we definately should be doing it for them. We did a show for Toys for Tots at Christmas and I made the mistake of giving a kid a ride. lol That'll never happen again. Evey kid there proceeded to line up for a ride and then my teammate snapped about the liability. That was very stupid of me
just my 2 cents- later, Paw Paw
ps- they like played out bar tricks too! lol

Wise words, we have to give the crowd what they want to keep them entertained, they are our bread and butter

how about make fun of the Mid Evil Times, example;
Dress up like your Knights or something, and pretend that your bikes are horses. Take those long sticks and race towards each other and who ever knocks the other guy off the bike wins. The challange would be to do it while doing a wheelie
