Is the bag of tricks almost empty??
With the introduction of handbrakes and the introduction of working the clutch and handbrake simutaniously I've seen some truely amazing things on sportbikes in the past year or so..... but, I'm starting to think I may have seen it all. Is the barrell running dry?
What do you think is the next awe factor trick/setup coming to the world of stuntriding?.....or....has everything possible been done on sportbikes with the current modifications we have made?
What's left to do that's not too gimmicky?? (ex. handbrakes mounted in odd places)..
What are some of you top dogs working on in the stunt labratories accross the country ?
There has got to be more I say!!

As soon as there is any money to be made in this sport its game on! There is a ton of things I think about every session but don't try. This is a hobby to most of us including myself so the drive to do a good amount of the “crash or do it perfect” tricks is just not worth. I can’t afford to buy more than a hundred dollars in parts a month and my real job is physical and requires 100%. If I'm hurt I'll be broke in a couple months, so until that point is reached no kung fu tricks. I think Shamil (Rus Extreme) is a great example of what tricks are out there. That man has no regard for his body and I ****in love it. If I lived in the same city as him there would be maximum danger at all times. Manna, Manny, and Ernie (E-dub) too, those men will always find something we've missed.

it just means that whoever invents the next big thing will get lots of credit.
theres always more stuff on the way, but once in a while you hit a dry season. its just like any other sport: i.e. fmx, bmx, skating... theres always room for new sh*t
i'm workin on my switchback spreader circles as we speak

but that's not that impressive.. yeah a switchbag burnout 0 would be hard.. but come on now.. it's gonna come down to switchback 0's and ****.. i don't even know.. the circle combo pretty much encompases every trick... really hard to duplicate.. and if anyone can do fast sit down o's it's probably you brett.. you can control that bike drifting like crazy.. i'm sure some of those fundamentals come into play

In fact this is a progression post, not a what were people doing back in the LVX days. Paul is down the street from me, perhaps I should shoot him a call to put a street clip out and claim badness.
