[B]Hello Greetings and Happy New Year to all


They gunna have fiddy stuntn too ?

 

i dont know but the more and more i read the website, it sounds like its gonna be off the ****in hook

 

Ryan,

In your first post it says 20,000 in prize money and i your second post it says 10,000 was just wondering which one it was?

Is "The Man" keeping us down again....

 

 

i dont know , either one is good, its more than stuntwars, so it should be allright,but im hopin its 20,000

 

so whre is this thing goin to be happenin at Toronto or where

 

From the website:

"Sport bike stunts and tricks have become a standard/trademark within the biker world. It has been one of the reasons why millions of people have flocked to see biker movies such as BikerBoyz and Torque. These movies have created a frenzy in the sport bike world, the likes of which are reminiscent of the Fast and Furious 1&2 frenzy of the tricked out car industry"

 

i'm there.

 

does anyone know if it is difficult to take your bikes across the border?

 

Problem, Starboyz Stuntfest is on the same weekend..

 

more money in toronto, and much more going on, plus its points for US Freestyle, im sure most of last years front runners for xsba will be there, and no its not hard takin your bike across the border

 

It's just a hard choice for Stunters. I mean you go to Canada there is a chance to make good Money on the other hand if you go to Stuntfest you are going to see a lot of good riders, hell of a of show and one the best parties of the year. For me it's an easy choice because I just ride 50's but for guys that stunt for a living and are in the points race it puts them @ a cross road.

 

good point...but i can promise you a few things:

A. some of the top riders in the country WILL be in toronto-it is a US Freestyle National Championship sanctioned event with points awarded for the overall championship.

B. there WILL be rocking parties-it's Canada-home of the 18 yr old drinking age...plus the riders there will be ready to rock...

This is another chance for all you stunters out there looking to make a name for yourself to do it in front of not only the best riders in the country, but more importantly, in front of industry reps and others who are well connected in the sportbike industry....a win-win situation.

but alas, talk is cheap and only the trully dedicated will show up me little birdie tells me!!
