I've been watching videos downloading and youtubing like a mad man for the past few days learning more and more about the stunting community and doing research for myself to get my 1st bike and to start stunting. I haven't seen a larger rider doing stunting so far after searching the forums searching google everything I just can't seem to find any information about it. I'm a big guy I'm 6'3 310lbs (not all fat mind you). I was wondering if anyone can give me some in site if my size will be an issue with some stunts and what problems there might be like standing on the bike and doing the wheelies where your legs are in the air open like a V sitting on the tank do you sit comfortable or do you use all your arm muscle to hold your self up there? Let me know so I can understand what my limitations might be when I do start learning to stunt any information will be greatly appreciated thanks.

 

james from clutchitup.com is a pretty big guy and he rides no problem, mostly tandom

 

Theres gonna be certain stunts that are easier, and some that arn't. Obviously doing a highchair is going to be pretty difficult. But doing a seat stander should be much easier. Jumpin from a SS to the tank and such would probably throw around the bike alot more then most people.

My roomate was 210 and never had a problem though. Another couple friends are 230 and don't have problems.

 

one word fatboystunts!!

 

Look up Chino.

 

im 6'3 230, i have no problems, my fork seals might hate me tho

 

shouldnt be much of anything u cant do if u keep at it....just dont use ur size as an excuse

 

sorry for misspelling it......Z not S!!

 

ill let u slide...

btw im 6'6 right around 300

 

Oh very nice I just wasn't sure if it would stop me from doing what I wanted to. I have a huge passion for bikes and the stunts people do on them I'd just be highly disappointed if I couldn't do them.

 

there you go chris , both chino and fatboystuntz kill it and as far as spreaders if you have a good dent and good grip on your tank it will take alot of the stress off your arms ..

another thing to consider is your rearsets and passenger peg brackets , the stocker break pretty easy , a good set of billet aluminum rearsets from ho hey and an omr subcage should take care of that problem

 

BIG SCOTT from teamstunters.com is like 6'4" and 250+(no fat) and he kills wheel floaters and nose coasters.

 

Oh good call I was wondering about those also but forgot to mention those I don't want to be in a wheelie then those snap and crush my junk. thanks for the tip :D

 

Don't forget wheelie Chris from the streetfighterz. Plus I'm 6'2" and 220 on a 250.

 

Yeah when I get my bike we'll have to meet up and you can help show me what's good lol.

 

Yea sometimes I hate it cuz I'm not fat, some tricks would be a lot easier and wouldn't hurt much when I fall......

 

LOLOLOLOLOL omg you made me laugh hard. What does being fat have anything to do with hurting when you fall I'm sure it's the same amount of pain for everyone. Unless you have Hereditary Sensory Autonomic Neuropathy or HSAN for short

 

little guys bounce , big guys brake bones ..serious

 

I fall in slow motion like an oak tree

 

seen a big guy slide off the trunk of a pretty low car and he put his arm out and broke both the big bones in his arm , i wouldnt even had sprained my wrist from the same exact fall
