Way to bring it around ed
so are the HAI guys gonna stop riding the streets
cuz if not then this thread is kinda

 

bump...

 

we/they ride the streets all the time, but the point is that when you're making a video that's trying to promote riding in a good light, it's best not to include street footage. well at least that's pollack's theory. a lot of the guys in that video don't ride on the street at all though.

 

I think the star boyz put it best "just because you own a $10,000 bike and can do a wheelie dosen't make you a stunter."
I think the star boyz said it first?
Any dumbass can wheelie a liter bike at 100mph but think about all the rookies that loop their **** on the freeway and make all of us legit stunters look like **** to all of our sponsors. I like to kill the streets as much as the next guy but we need to make big money sponsors take this sport seriously.
Lotz not Blockz kids!

 

If you only wanna ride as a hobby and be happy doing your day job at burger king or whatever the fvck you do... then why are you b!tching about anyone who wants to acheive more than that and ride full time?

How many people surf that aren't pro's? How many people skateboard that aren't pros, or ride FMX or whatever...

You cant make up other people's minds about what they want to do with their lives or how far they wanna push the envelope. I say props and good luck to them cause they probably got more guts than the riders who just wanna have fun and enjoy life cause they are the ones who are going to probably risk more than their licence...

AND I am hanging to see SSS... is it in the mail or WHAT!!?

 

Oh and to elaborate a little more... the sponsors make most of their money from these people who buy particular products cause of their favourites in the sport

More people spending money on products based around a sport equals more money in the sport. Sponsors have more money to offer and will take more interest in signing the better riders who will represent them the best...

Again, my

not gonna go ahead and read 40 pages, but +1 to anyone who said something like,
street riding attracts future stunters, who here remembers the first time they saw someone bust a wheelie on the streets??
with that said, i encourage everyone to stunt the streets responsibly

 

That makes sense...
until they release another video with street footage in it.

 

+1 I didnt read all 40 pages but I was gonna say something like this^
look at all the people out there makin millions in sports that at one point were looked down on..This sport has potential and we'll see where it goes...Someday there will be a select few makin big money in this sport.
I admire the riders out there pushin for the big sponsors and all the companys supporting em...:YEAH
