Stunting is going to go the way of skateboarding? It looks like it is to me.

 

i honestly think it won't and can't but I'd like to see it a little more welcomed by the public. who knows what the future has in store though.

 

I dont know, it seems its building up similar to skating in the late 80's/early 90's, so mabye theres a chance stunting will reach that level

I hope it reaches that level, and then they can build parking lots and call them stunt parks

 

the learning curve in stunting is a little more dangerous. if people (kids) learned on 50's and 70's...then took those skills to the big bikes, then it would be easier welcomed (I think). but just to learn BP on a big bike, with no mini exp, it takes a lot of open space...and possibly a lot of money. you can break an ankle or something like that with a skateboard, but you can break your neck or worse on a bike.

don't get me wrong, I"m not a hater, just looking at it from the "corporate america" point of view.

 

and they always think a motorcycle can get away from you and steer itself straight into an innocent bystander and explode like in a movie. These stuntparks if they do open up will have large jersey barriers guarantee that.

 

...not to mention, only one at a time (riders I mean), after signing a waiver and your life, providing full coverage insurance, valid license, proper protective gear, the list can go on.

 

as you mean that its in the x-games and on t.v.
or as in every little bastard fu(k out there thinks he can be the next tony hawk or god forbid bam margera and acts like little badasses when they can't even ollie.
who buys into all the corporate bullshit like hotwheels and sobe? what the fu(k does hotwheels have to do with skateboarding.

 

Damn Acanz, You really roll with O.W.N.? One Wheel North is the coolest Stunt Crew ever, can I have your autograph?

 

There is not a chance it will ever take off like skateboarding...sorry guys

Skatebaords are $100 and if it breaks, cheap to fix, and takes no mechanical skills to keep it alive and rollin'
Bikes $2000 and up.... and if it breaks (like Beto's f4i) $1000 to fix it.....AND you have to be mechanically inclined OR Pay lotsa money to keep it alive and rockin'

Parents will buy their kids skateboards (a new one every year...till a kid starts driving)
Parents will not buy kids a stuntbike (if they knew what it was for) Even after they have their driving license.

I was into racing gopeds about 5 years ago....and they were all the same way....... " Our sport is growing....Our sport is growing.....X games ....Freestyle.....We have to get gopeds in there........ Gopeds should be more popular than skateboards...blah blah blah "
Same deal there..... Way more expensive, Plus it takes Way more skills and money to keep the vehicle alive.

Think about it....what would you buy your kid ? just my

 

as for stunt parks...... i know of One that's in the works. :YEAH

 

I don't know if it will ever get that big. But look at motocross. In the freestyle comps theres some young guys catchin some big air and doing crazy ****. If you bite it from a backflip 30ft up your gonna be hurting more than a bike falling on you. But parents still buy their kids dirtbikes. They know they will jump them and do wheelies. The only diff is the dirt and the pavement.

 

Stunting has been around for awhile, its not going anywhere near the way skateboarding has and it never will. 95% of the ppl in this country have no idea what sport bike stunting even is until you explain it to em.

 

from the amount of times we have had the cops called on us this year i honestly dont think stuntin will go the way of skateboarding.

 

Just because the cops don't like it doesn't mean it won't be accepted. Have you seen all the No Skateboarding signs in parking lots? Cops hate skateboarders as much as they hate stunters. Except they can give us tickets. I'm sure some of you on here ar ex-skaters and know how much cops hassle you.

 

I meant as in it would be alot more accepted.

There will always be posers, just look how many there are now.

 

You got a $20? My autographs aint free biatch

 

Thats the main reason I think stunting might not grow with children like skating, but I dont think it will affect the 18+ people. If you look skating, most of the good people are 18+ anyway, except for some younger kids that are really good.

 

i dont want it to grow, **** that, i like being a minority and having a unique and somewhat underground hobby i participate in.

how many people can say they can get on a 450 pound 100hp 2 wheeled machine and ride on 1 wheel sitting on the tank with their legs over the handlebars.. do you ever think about how long it took you to get decent at stunting, its got a huge learning curve

 

Kewl, only $20! That still leaves me with two dollars and seventeen cents, just enough to get Matty's autograph too :YEAH

 

Dont worry, Matty would pay you to accept his autograph.
