What is with all the riders who.....
Re: What is with all the riders who.....
If someones a total newbie, but they're out there tryin real hard, then its a good idea to protect the bike. You know how it is when you get hungry for it, the bike takes alot of abuse sometimes.
But the posers who show up at the spot with a fully armored bike and dont even ride it... no good. Although, did you ever notice alot of newbies wont ride if there are alot of better riders there. That could have something to do with it.

I didn't want to be the squid who wrecked into Dan Jackson one week before a comp or somin. Plus its embarassing and intimidating to ride with people who have been doing it for a long time and you're literally trying to get a start. BUT I will say this, being around them and having them actually be cool to me and talk to me, and give advice was humbling for me, having a swolen head, thinkin I was gonna be out there killin it in the matter of a few weeks!!!!

I always stay on the sidelines for awhile no matter who is riding, to check ppls riding style to make sure theyre not ****ing idiots who will get me killed and if theyre real good im taking notes so i bet i look pretty squidly sometimes.

Re: What is with all the riders who.....
its not a 12 bar you flippin idiots, its a REAR BUMPER!!!
nah fo real though, some people look at it like a body kit... personally i wouldnt do it, but if they buy it from me and i make some money from it, ill sell them 10....
also, if youre just learnin, wouldnt you want your bike protected as much as possible just in case you do crash??? before i started stuntin, i bought the cage, 12 bar, custom upper, chain and sprockets.... with the bar and cage on there before i could really knew how to wheelie, saved me a LOT of money in buyin replacement parts... we all gotta start somewhere...

I see alot of that around my area,some of them don't even stunt or try to stunt at all.And the ones that do try want to throw every piece of equiptment on the bike from the begining.Like putting a bar on when you cant even clutch your bike up more than a foot,or putting on a big sprocket when you have no throttle control,a handbreak when you can't even use the footbrake!!!??No more posin, if you have a bar with the paint still on it scrape it or take it off and cut it out!
