All I asked for as for them to show it in a more positive light, like StuntWars, etc. Not on the streets. Street stunting is no more safe than street racing.

IT IS ISSUES LIKE THIS THAT MAKE US WANT IT TO STAY UNDERGROUND, BRINGING IT TO THE PUBLIC HAS BROUGHT CHUMPS LIKE YOU.

Considered it reckless more people die on the gap in one year than in PRO STUNT riding in the past 5.
Things should not be banned simply because not everyone likes them, or because they are not entirely safe. having the right to take risks is important to me. Many things are unsafe, at some point liberty has to come first. I definitely want to see stunting grow. And I don't want the government encroaching any further into my life than it already has.

see, i agree.
i'd LOVE to have a place where i can hang out with my friends, ride my bike etc.etc.etc. shoot the ****.
but WE DON'T HAVE THOSE PLACES.
the best we have is a parking lot, and after a while most of them get shut down. if your one of the lucky few you have a guarentee'd spot that the owner will allow you to use.
but like i said, the FEW.
when was the last time you can your bike impounded at a track day and given a careless?
yeah, at our "tracks" that kinda **** can happen, depending on how the cop feels.

Re: Superbikes petition
I read both sides of the forums... and my conclusion is that the stunt community gives the race community way more respect than they show us...
Most racers, Ive met are arrogant ****** trying to fill a void they have in their leather pants... I love dragging a knee, but I cant afford to go to a track day every day and raise hell, buy new race tires, and have my mommy and daddy sponsor me..... And i am not going to endager my life as well as others by hauling a$$ on the street... it is ten times more dangerous to ride beyond your limits at speed than it is to ride beyond your limits at balance point....
I dont even watch tv that much, i have only caught "superbikes" at hooters on bike night... I was excited to see a guy doing stunts compared to that crap excuse of a show two wheel tuesday with greg whites fat a$$ sucking off a hayden or showing motocross or track footage from a mat mladin victory...(ben spies of late)
I love all aspects of motorcycling and it seems like if you really loved bikes you wouldnt discriminate on any aspect even if what you "think" portrays motorcying in a negative light... its all two wheels... get over it and take your tampon out...
No matter what though, stunters will be seen in a negative light by their "own kind'( Negative Nancy's on their finely tuned race machines)
I hate to say it but if i was riding on the street and had to ride with a guy I didnt know, and was given the option to ride with a stunter or a racer, I would choose the stunter because i would know he would have the skills to handle his bike in a varitey of manuvers on the street, compared to the all out braking or accelerating the racer had learned on the track...
The fact is... if you like racing motorcycles move to europe... the ama is a freakin joke... Americans would rather watch cars go in cirlcles and see Michele Smith's(of American Thunder) fake ******* flop around on a harley, and the northern redneck antics of paul sr and jr on american chopper...
Motorcycle racing will never be popular in the states because our citizens are to stupid to realise how cool it really is... but guess what! the rest of the world doesnt even watch our crappy series because the talent is where the fan base is... EUROPE
So in conclusion to all the Race Mcgee's that think they are above having fun on a bike... here is your tissue paper
and your tampons

Re: Superbikes petition
also think of it this way... a liter bike is way too much for streets anyway...even a 600 is(being technical) whats the most for a speed limit 75mph on an interstate... so they should ban anything that can exceed 75mph because its too much danger and chance...right...NO! fucccck that! youd be stupid and gay to even try to get something gay like that banned from tv

Re: Superbikes petition
yeah i was snoorin many times on 2 wheel tuesday when they were havin the "scootin' usa segments", and talkin about the wildlife trails to ride. aparently many other viewers were too... hence it being canceled. superbikes is actually not only for the stunting, it is for the streetbike lifestyle. they will be showning many races, also many stunt sessions. petitioning it off the air is like tellin the dealership to stop sellin bikes. kinda gay dont you think.
