Do you wanna know how to avoid a ton of BS with the police?
Heres a few tips that has left our group with 1 ticket in 2 yrs........ and we ride everyday!
1. Stay off main roads.......... find a practice spot out of the way with no traffic i.e. dead end roads or industrial parks (Dont practice when businesses are open!)
2. STOP riding when any 4 wheeled vehicle comes by.... wheeling by cars will only cause drivers to get pissed off and make that one call on the cell that you dont want
3. STOCK PIPES! aftermarket pipes are LOUD and will draw attention, even 1 person with a loud aftermarket will ruin it... whether it be the old lady calling to complain about noise or some cop driving by hearing the bikes and wanting to check it out. Stock pipes can barely be heard from 500 ft away
4. DONT pull **** on the way to the spot..... dont draw attention to yourself... this will ruin your spot and lead others to where your riding
5. keep your spot secret..... bring one person there and next thing you know there will be 100 peeps there and then your spot is ruined......
6. If your spot is wrecked or drawing a lot of attention dont keep riding there, find a temporary new spot, chances are if the po po keep checkin on it peeps will leave it alone after a few months and so will the police then you can go back.
7. If you have a bunch of spots that have a lot of traffic, spend a short amount of time there and then move on to the other... the longer you hang there the more chances you have of getting busted
8. Burnouts =
if the police are doing a random check of a spot and see these marks they are guaranteed to come back more frequently to see who is leaving these marks..... It also lets all others riders know your there..... burnouts are a calling card for trouble.
Just lettin all you know what has worked for us for the past 2 yrs
hope it helps

I just wish they would let us stay in places where no cars or people are like we have a whole island and it used to be a race track and they run us off but there is no one there to hurt but our self
I still hate cops

The spot here is hit or miss with the cops. Sometimes they roll up and just watch and chat with us. Most of the time that's the case.
But I guess lately there has been on hardass who is threatening to impound bikes, etc
They only thing they say is wear helmets and no drag racing. They also want us to report any illegal dumping.

Well said Verticaljay. I agree with everything you said. Putting the stock can back on my bike has changed my life. I have a spot that I don't tell ANYONE about. It's right next to an apartment complex and the view is blocked by a row of pine trees but I've stayed there for an hour at a time and no one knows I'm there. Stock cans rule!

hey we've been having problems with the cops lately, there's usually about 10-25 of us that ride at any one time and we usualy can't all get out till about 10:00. most of us have the stock pipes like some have posted, and we've tried the industrial areas and even roads 10-15 miles out of town and we still have no luck, the cops in town tell us to get out of town the the sherifs and state troopers tell us to go back into town. but with still no avail we can't seem to find a spot? any ideas? just keep in mind i live in a college town that houses the university of iowa. ever heard of it? hehe

A guy in my town just died about 5min away from me actually. Stunting in a parking lot and he ran into the broad side of a bank.
I wasnt there or anything but i know they just put speed bumbs in there recently because of this.

There should be a stunt riding rule book on here somehwere.
Got a couple of good spots to play at here. Look for something surrounded by walls or far away from the street, traffic. Parking lots etc. lots of good riding at night.

Try Industrial Parks, Back roads. If 10- 15 miles out isn't enough try 20. Why not?
One thing that was left out is keep the area clean!! Clean up after yourself. Especially if you crash,Right Teddy!! If you don't leave any evidence that you were there, no one will be the wiser. If you absolutely can't find a place to stay at, stick and move. It sucks but at least you can get about 15-20 minutes in before you have to bolt.

Re: tired of Cops and Tickets?
i ride in at least 1 spot snedo was talking about and its the best spot ive come across- hell, even the locals come to hang out and watch. they r there waiting before we even get there. they drink beers and take pics and video. its definately a killer spot. theres donuts and burnout marks all over the place but its so far out in the middle of nowhere i guess no one really cares-OH, and we ALWAYS stop when a car comes through(and wave all nice and friendly too!!!!)
