Who was the first person you saw do 12's?
I was just wondering ....Mine was JON JON .... I was just heading into daytona beach for bike week for the first time in 2000. I swear I was in town for like 5 mins .... and this bike was coming at me as I was waiting for the turnaround into the Hess.. BLAM!!! up he went and his lights disappeared !!!damn I was like " WHAT THE?" It was sweet seeing a wheelie roll past me at like 20 mph. Him/Wink and the Starboyz were the only ones doing 12'ves that year and now EVERYone can do them. So who was the first person for you guys?????
First person I saw was Joe Brown back at Stuntfest 1 in Lakeland :D

Wink 1100... YO WHEELIEZ IZ GA'BAGE!!!
StarBoyz saw it from Wink and started doing em. XXX got it later but took it to another level all together. Jon Jon had tail smashing down but not riding em too slow yet, but Wink as far as I know was the 1st to actually ride a 12 out slow slow.
In person Jon Jon at the 2001 StarBoyz Stuntfest. he Big Dave and Scott were doing em on the way from Joe's house to Kevin's. It was sweet.
"1st gear = 20 blocks."
"HOW MANY BLOCKS YOU DOIN????"
And that is a 2 year old video.

So the twelve o clock is new to the sportbike stunt scene. but I'm told that back in the 70's a cat named DOUG DOMOKUS aka wheelie king, was smashin tail on a 800lb KZ1300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all the people at my old job hyped him up all the time and I looked into some of the records he has and some ***** he did. Whatever he was doing he did it right, cuz he had a factory sponsor from kawasaki...do any of you have factory rides? cuz I didn't know they offered stunna support. WELL THEY DID, HOW COME THEY DONT NOW???? EVERYONE PLEASE E MAIL YOUR MANUFACTURER AND ASK ABOUT SPONSORSHIPS!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Me....on my dirt bikes at least 10 years ago. Stoppies and 12's. Bunch of us used to stunt the dirt bikes all the time, but back then we didn't call it stunten, we called it riden! Now if I could stunt my street bike as well as my dirt bike..I'd be the shiznet!
