Its not how long you've been riding. Its how long you've been practicing. I rode for 2 years, and I couldn't roll endos at all - I tried at every other stop sign I came to. Once I got onto a side street and starting going back and forth and JUST focusing on the tricks, I rolled 50' my first couple of days.

Its 1/2 natural talent/common sense, and 1/2 *****.

 

thanks bro, yea im originally from Va and those commonwealth ****s wont let u get your motorcycle license until your 18, and not many people up there really even have bikes anyways, i couldnt imagine what its like in the big DM

 

Had my bike for 2 years, didn't start stuntin till about Apr. May of last year.
Went to bike week in Daytona in 03, saw everybody doin slow stuff, then started practicin in Apr. after I got a bar and cage.

 

I bought a new GIX 600 last June. After about 6 weeks was doing little stoppies and wheelies. End of August I had some 50-100' wheelies and slightly higher endo's.

I have mad dirt experience, from age 9-18. But nothing like Dan Jackson and the like, just riding.

I got rid of my GIX and am looking for something older. I feel that I was more scared to drop my bike than get hurt. Ruining a new bike would have made me cry.

This year I am buying a used bike cash, and stuntin like mad. 1/2 ***** 1/2 talent....

Scoop

 

rode for 4 months on a tiller and could do one handed high chairs, 2 mile standups, jump to tankie to flamingo, 150 ft stoppies, etc, then i ate **** hard and totoaled my bike, just bought a 929 and now i cant do ****, learnin 12s, already wrecked a tankie and now im scared, i can still do stoppies but w/ no stabalizer there just high and not long, DONT WRECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've had my bike about a year and a half, i just started stuntin' about 4 months ago, and i'm just now getting idle stuff..

 

Hey Rick, you need to move back to VA and teach me and my boys some ****. We all can roll the highway standups and short stoppies, but that is about it. There aren't any serious stunters around Va Beach so it makes it hard to watch a video and then go out and try some ****. It would be alot easier with someone to explain, demonstrate, critique! You da man!

 

im comin back up sometime this summer for a few sessions, i'll be in luray if i remember correctly its like 3h30min from you guys

dont b scared to come visit

 

Aight then...we will make a trip of it. Just let me know when you are going to be there and we will try to get up there. I will fo sho! Alot of good weather between now and then so hopefully I will have some more **** on lock.

yep! i learned on a mint 900rr 1998, and rode w/ Prozak & swank from my current crew. And had Core 6 / DTE to watch. makes a big difference.

 

soemthing else nice about newer bikes is they dont break all the time like my old one even when i'm not wrecking i'm breaking ****.

 

A few weeks after getting on a bike for the first time I pretty much mastered the Christ on the seat. One day I just lost it and went bouncing across the ground. I have not made much progress since then. I definately agree that with a better bike, and a wider seat, things would have been different.

 

i got my first bike ever, an 01 r6. rode that around till i was comfy, about 8 months.
then starting trying wheelies in first gear. i was scared of falling so i took it slow.
by the end i could wheelie the 6 on command.
now i sold that and got a 1000.
whole nother story. back to square one but in 2nd now.
