Re: when is it "stunting"
"accomplished stunter" if you can do circles.....if you can pull reliable circles it shows you've got the dedication. You can't buy circles, you can't learn them in 1 session like you can skitchin. It takes constant hours of practice. If you can't circle then you need to practice if you're going to call yourself a stunter. 
If you put in work consistently for a good period of time, you're a stunter, plain and simple.

Re: when is it "stunting"
I'll give you an honest answer.
When you spend more time in a parking lot than you do on the streets. If you are dedicated to riding and you practice 3 or more times a week. Then I would consider you a stunter, no matter how good/bad you are.
Being a "stunter" in my opinion is not only a skill level, but a dedication. I know some guys that at one point could stunt a bike, but they're not considered stunters, but on the other hand I have some guys that are just getting BP and Brake control that hit the lots 3 days a week with us and I consider them stunters....

Lame. Everybody learns at various rates. One of my friends in CA has been working on circles for years but kills streets/lots nearly every day, has idle/no handers on smash, good straightline combos, hc scrapes, etc. He's most definitely a stunter.

Re: when is it "stunting"
the basic arcos ie; christ, side skitch and head stand are gay. there are some cool ones that JBrown does and ****, those definatly look dangerous as hell. but the basic ones alot of people can do in the first month of riding a bike.

Yeah, as far as I know, Jeff, Fraser, Jake, and Ray Ray all still ride. I didn't make it to the nationals this year, but they've been posting up riding session pics this month on myspace

You gotta run the idle almost at stall, carry speed into the scrape, clutch it in to let the RPM's drop and pop the clutch to bring it back..... circa 2003....
