Re: How many trix in ur bag til u can say u stunt???
I know alot of peeps that roll with me and my boys (3 on my team) and I consider them stunters. They may not be able to wheelie worth **** or maybe they can, but damn son, they roll just as hard as we do everyday all day.
At the spot, in the garage wrenching our bikes, letting us borrow their bikes, hitting the shows, going to bars repping our crew, even going to jail for us!!..
**** those guys are the REASON I stunt, they keep me going, tell me when my circles are garbage, give me props when we pull new stuff, they get more excited over watching ME pull **** off then I do sometimes!
Stunting is a way of life, tricks come second. These cats may not rock out, but they eat outta the same bowl.

Re: How many trix in ur bag til u can say u stunt???
I'd say your a stunta when you put all your extra time into practicing but yes you do need to be able to do some tricks and not give a **** if you get in trouble or go to jail. I know how that is. I lost my licence twice this year and did an overnighter. currently dont have a licence. sucks bad.

Re: How many trix in ur bag til u can say u stunt???
My 
.. I decided I was a stunter when that was the main thing I wanted to do. I found myself spending more time pulling tricks than riding fast with the other guys... then I started focusing on perfecting them. Before I knew it I was selling my pretty bike and going with a Gix 750 cage and bar.. and I really couldn't care less if I smash it up. The attention that goes with it is nice too. I also find myself thinking about it all the time.. or watching videos, or reading SL. It's fcking addictive! Anyone else think about it all the time or talk to ppl about it that don't care? Force them to see the movies you've made over and over? lol.. maybe I'm just a loser... but am I ever enjoying myself!

Re: How many trix in ur bag til u can say u stunt???
CHAO5 I've got the same... but I still can't say I'm a stunter- I have still to much to learn... basic wheelies and endos are not enough to call myself a real stunter...
I trully love this sport! I was this sumer in Worcester, MA for four months. I had visited two stunt shows(XFR,IMR,RealityRacing... and others) there and I realy gone crazy about stunt. I was interested about stunting, I was doing some wheelies and endos, I was watching videos but now it's a little bit crazy after this summer.
Here where I live(country called Poland in Europe) it's not as easy as it is in USA.
For example the new R1 costs about 22 000$ and people earnig a lot less money(life,food, apartments are much cheaper than in USA but for example when you working on construction you're earnig about 100-150$ for a whole week !!!!)
I now it's sound crazy but that's the sad truth.
So if you have a bike( I had working whole summer in USA for my zx9) you're afraid of wreckin so much that you're learnig much slower. I still live with parents, for Polisch reality I'm doing pretty good but I newer can't afford for two bikes.
It's difficult to be a stunter here so there is not many guys like you in my country...
I want to do it so much that I'm still thinking about moving to USA next summer for at least few years(I'm not joking- I'm ready to leave everything that I have here to start doing what I love and be good at it...). I almost did this year but I didn't have papers so i went back to Poland to try to get the green card.
Sorry for my english but I was only learnig it a little bit at school and practicing it only for few months this year but not in writnig...

Slowest standups about 30mph. Cant do circles, drag tail, etc. Can do HC's, flamingos, tankchrists, etc.
I really want to be able to say I am a stunter, but I dont feel honest when I say it. What all do you gotta be able to do to say you stunt. I kinda think u have to be able to at least hit the tail.
What do u guys think. What is the benchmark from stunter-in-training to real stunter???

I hate circle wheelies...
but are you the "# 1 stunnta" :YEAH
i personally think some of the canyon carvers and racer nikki wannabes are definately stunters in their own right. takes more bawls to scrape an elbow then it does to scrape a High Chair....
dont worry about labels.. if you feel you are, then you are... just be honest with yourself..
dont fret yourself on what to call yourself...
just ride...

Re: How many trix in ur bag til u can say u stunt???
Dictionary says
STUNT:
1: A feat displaying unusual strength, skill, or daring.
2: Something done to attract attention or publicity.
So I guess if you've done a "trick" and impressed someone, then you have stunted!

Re: How many trix in ur bag til u can say u stunt???
Speedballer, I feel ya. I race as well, hell I got a $30,000 gsxr that sits in a shed and colllects dust. My stunt bike is a R1 and I even thought about putting a 12 bar and cage on the back of the gsxr, selling the rims and suspension and stunting that bitch. Racing was my love now it's stuntin but it always been bikes.
