From the day you start until the day you quit. That's about how long it should take.

Re: How long did it take everyone to learn to stunt?

Been riding 4 yrs, started attempting wheelies on my old cruiser short after, finally got them a month after that Never have been a "Serious" stunter, but it definately helped out my skills by moving to a sportbike. I just like my basic stand-ups, sit-downs, christs', and endo's.(Very occasional burnout)

Wrecks:None due to stunting(animals a different story).
