ADHD and Riding Carms over @ StuntUSA said the following...
So what do you think... Does it help you ride better?
I myself think so because it gives you the energy to just day long non-stop and concentrate on the littlest things.
I myself hear the clocks tick in every room... people sleeping that arent even snoring does get kind of annoying once in a while.
Yeah Kyle has ADHD and seems to think that it helps you ride.. Digidy and Aaron also have it.

Re: ADHD and Riding
Ya know, I'd bet a very large percentage of stunters have it. Thats why regular street riding gets boring to us, but wheelie tricks will always be challenging enough to entertain our minds.
But I dont think it helps. I actually get bored of wheelies after an hour if I dont get blunted.

Re: ADHD and Riding
either i got it, or I'm terribly lazy, but i think i got it.
Well, i see what MikeM is talking about though. when i used to ride my bike, just to ride. I was perfectly content riding 2-3 miles and back. Now i gotta pull a wheelie, or do some stoppies, or skitch or something. since i first learned the BP wheelie, i don't think i have once EVER not stunted on a bike ride.

I'm sure that I've got something like that...cuz I sure as hell cant pay attention in any of my classes, and usually just end up falling asleep through them. and Im always hearing people eat/drink/breathe etc, and it pisses me off. sucks, but I do my best to hide my annoyance
But I will say we are less likely to ever suffer from target fixation.

My parents should be damn glad I'm ADHD or their cars wouldn't look fresh out of the show room everyday.

Dude,
I repsect damn near all of your posts... except this one. This IS a disease. I have gone since I was a young one like yourself wondering why I couldn't concentrate on a damn thing or follow a textbook I was supposed to read in school. It finally got to the point it was totally disrupting my grades in college, and my doctor put me on some medicine for Adult ADHD, and the **** has made a world of difference. I understand your point was to rip on RPM, but maybe you should have picked a different topic, because if you'd experienced half the ****ed up **** a person with ADHD you'd quickly change your statement.

I agree. I take addy before I go to the bar. It helps me drink more, pay attention to the females better, and stay up late for all the afterhours parties. Well said.
