Will Be better when the 929 is finished...

hows riding in the Cheese state??

 

saw this on wheelies FB, forgot about this place

 

Ronnie Reality still in the game 14 years later. I took 3 years off. But coming back to have some old school fun. I just posted a ton of pics and vids on my page http://www.facebook.com/ronnierealityfanpage. Go check it out if you wanna laugh.

 

I am currently waiting on knee surgery 4 and I am not an og but I am just trying to get my finances back together to buy a new bike. I love to ride and no matter what the progression of stunting gos I will always want to ride.

o and **** you eric you still owe me a welding job from the two tanks you did of mine that you completely blew through with welds

 

sup ronnie! was wondering what youve been up to. i gotta check the pics

 

i took a few years off to do this body building & personal training thing. I had to step back into the game for the sake of the NY state. Seems like there hasn't been anything really big in NY. Looks like i'll have to put us back on the map. I've had a few meetings the past few months about setting up a show. So fingers crossed, this all works out for us. I've been riding the past few months and there are some pretty talented riders out here. I think it's time to get them their deserved shine.

 

 

I still do a couple charity shows here and there. I feel the same way. The new guys think they're the ****. And the attitude get's old. So I stick to myself. Still ride with everyone time to time. Noone has gotten rid of their stunters. Just hardly ever ride em. And as far as popularity, the shows haven't got any bigger. Nor has the scene here. Worse if anything. Sad. Like Nick said, this place used to be poppin.... I'm no OG, but been around the game a long time.

 

yeah the areas seem to have died out a little for sure. i know around here has. and yeah these younger guys are killing it these days. they'll never have that old school style tho. big difference!

 

I notice with today's riders they either pick street style or lot style. They don't really combine the 2. Even though some of the spots are big enough to rip a 100mph coaster they don't do it. I had one kid say to me "dude holy ****, i only saw that on a video, never in person, That **** is sick". But for some of us, that's where all the fun is. The og's kept the element of danger in the sport. Not that a switch wheelie isn't sick, or combo circles aren't cool. But i believe fans come out to see our shows because they come with the idea that someone is going to the hospital today. I mean how many times can you watch 20 riders do the same circles until you hear "babe i'm hungry, let's get something to eat or dad this is boring? Back when we were killing it, there was no way people were leaving. If anything everyone leaned in more and more until you had a 5 foot path to ride in lol. Which really made **** dangerous. But it's all good, i tell everyone just have fun, be creative and respect your fellow riders. Because everyone knows "STUNT RIDERS LOVE ATTENTION AND NEED TO BE SEEN".

 

There's a lot of new guys out there who just never experienced the madness that stunt riding used to be, how insane the comps were people just doing off the wall ****. This has become such a "professional" sport and the fun was removed for a little while but I think it is turning around again and i see a new wave of guys who are riding for the reason we all started for the fun and passion. As for shows, they are still tough because guys don't think that there talent is worth any money so they ride for dirt cheap or free.

 

I think just the technical progression of the sport, from street riding to all the circle stuff really changed alot. I was floatin around the SL forum way before I ever became a member.

Whackpack is what sparked my interest in the sport back in 02/03, and on their video was the Stuntlife Logo.

I used to be ADDICTED to these forums, you can probably search all of the stupid questions I had lol Im tryna get back into riding, sold most of my bikes and was riding an Aprilla sxv which I just sold. Stopped riding as soon as I learned basic circles on the motard and playbikes I had. As soon as I started training mma and fighting, and went to college, I became less frequent on here.

This website is full of memories for me, especially since much of my progression was tied to help gained through these forums.

 

yeah i remember hanging with merk,oger,roger,stew from 1096,digidy,i remember watching this site come together in naperville before it was stunt life , when riding was riding and nothing matterd but ur skillzs now its like gone to **** i ride on my own still have my close friends and we kill the streets on our own no crew or members just some guys enjoying the day and our bikes

 

back in 01-04 lakeland florida was the spot also thats when sw got started i miss those days

 

Don't know if I consider myself an OG, but i'm still around somewhat. I don't post much, but I do recognize some of the OG members in here.

 

05 stuntwars was the last year for chaos down there. Sport hasn't been the same since those years lol. Maybe even 06 don't remember. I was to trashed lol

 

 

SL Is Comin Back Old skool style...

 

bump!
