Childish? I wouldnt go that far... thats childishness is what makes this a sport.
Childish is running from the cops, not wearing your gear, and flipping your bike down the I5 and into traffic.

Ill admit ive met some with egos that are unbelieveable, hell ive been accused before of being that guy... its all relative i think.

we are all different people who for whatever reason all have the same love for making whuulllliiesss..

the fact that you, (and gorka), call yourselves retired and no longer active.. but still post on this site.. well that shows to me that you are still interested, active at some level. and still have a love for this sport. (or your just really bored and talkin stunt-trash is much like a crack addiction and you cant get away)

I have fun when i go ride. I've enjoyed riding with guys that i dont enjoy hanging out with.. haha...

In fact I ride on regular basis with a group of guys (on this site) that I've never hung out with, outside a wheelie road ever. doesnt mean were not friends.. I have an awesome time riding with them. seeing the stunts they do, seeing how they do this or that, pushing each other. I ride 10x harder when they are out there than I do when i goto the spot alone.

ever thought that "back in the day" there were just as many egos u just didnt see it? or maybe because u were a top dog you were the ego and didnt know it?

(im not attacking just trying to get you to look at the other half of the glass)

wether u ride motorcycles for the friendships, the trash talk, the wanting only to on up another, just casue u like the smell of a burnout, u like riding at high speeds in packs, you like pushing yourself to do things u didnt think were possible, or cause u like the look of a crowd as you show off at a show or parking lot too them.. who knows there are a million reason to like this sport.

dont be so negative.. if you unhappy with the egos then ignore them.

Sometimes it helped to get "the word out" and "update" other riders of our happens, but for the most part, that seemed to turn our messageboards into a "status quo" outlet. Many times we get the "Hey, Core6 is dead, where are you supporters?" Truthfully, I wouldn't call anyone on here a supporter..... ****, the people who come on here are usually the first to talk **** if we aren't bragging or jumping online to routinely talk about ourselves. I went somewhere this past weekend just to hang out with some riders and I ran into some serious ego's.... I don't miss it. I remember those days when it was all about "one upping" the next guy. Childish man... just childish... takes the fun out of the sport.... and completely takes the bond out of the friendships you build. Everyone is against Everyone. I don't know about you, but I got sick of putting myself out there, just to be burned in return, because I can't do the newest trick. Seemed to me like your friendships were only as strong as your skills.

Call me an *******... a has-been... a *****... unnappreciative... whatever. I love my bike, I love to ride, and I love to stunt. No one can take that from me and I got sick of people trying to.

Anyone else feel the same?

"Ego" does not equal "Drive"
"Posting" does not equal "Participation Within Sport"
"Popularity" does not equal "Friendship"

I will consider myself OG 10 years down the road when the sport is mainstream and I'm judging a stunt event. There's also been alot of riders that just hang around waiting for everyone else to make the sport bigger so they can just jump in at the right time. I say get out there and promote the sport yourself instead of complaining about it. If you fell off fine, but dont go complaing about the sport when your doing nothing to make it bigger. Helping the sport means doing shows as much as you can to get more people interested. Traveling to competitions if you can afford it. Posting on stuntlife!!! I dont want to hear there's too much bs thats why I dont post there, lame excuse! Make flyers, sign cards, pimp your bike out instead of riding a shitbox nobody wants to see, imagine watching the fmx guys ride 84 yz 125's? Make a video, get it out there. Do local shows! paint your bike pink and grow a mullet

The whole idea of stunting being a "sport" makes me want to puke. Stunting has almost turned full blown gay. But thats *my* opinion.
