Curious who are late starters in stunting?

I wish I had started a long time ago, as a result I wouldve been more careless and probably learned faster, but Im older and getting hurt would affect me way more seriously now than then (monitarily, out of work etc etc etc)

Who here is just starting stunting at a way older age?

I consider myself a late bloomer considering i hadn't ridden a rocket till i got out of the service in Dec 03, but feel ya on the carefree thing, but sometimes you just gotta say F-it and go for it.....

Never been on two wheels till 29. Im thirty right now. When I sometimes ponder about whether I'm too old I think of OMR and that keeps me going.

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?

maybe i'm not such a late bloomer after all , it's either that or we've all had our midlife crisis a little earlier than everyone else

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?

I'm 21 and i am trying to get into stuntin. working on my sit down wheelies for now. Once i get those down solid i'm going to work on my staggered wheelies. I also want to get into road racing, that would be badass.

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?

Never sat on a bike till 25. Didn't try stuntin till 27. Still a wicked squid but I'm learnin. Dumped off my front end after sittin down my first spreader and my ankle is still twice the size of the other but I'm still ridin almost every night. I tried track ridin first, ADDICTIVE, but much more expensive than stuntin. Parkin lots are free, track days are like crack, too damn expensive to do alot of, but too much fun to do in moderation! Gonna try and get another track bike tho, one wheel is nice but nothin feels like plantin that knee down at 100+

Re: Curious who are late starters in stunting?

Yep, but age is a state of mind. I didn't even ride a motorbike of any kind before my 02 Aprilia RSV Mille...in Dec. of 2003. That started the wheelie addiction, and 4 bikes later, I still got the Mille and stunting seriously for about a year now.

I got hella bad arthritis from skateboarding and my work, but I don't let it slow me down. I usually stick whatever trick it is that I go for by the time I go for it, just cuz maybe I'm older and don't try stupid **** until I got a good foundation to start from, and I feel I'm ready. Other than that, it's really no different from what Iv'e seen.
