Thats great that you want to try some 2 up stunts with your GF Does she want to try them, or is this all your idea ?!

I don't want to be the one to give you advise on what to tell her to do while on the back doing stunts, cuz I have just started myself and I am still in the learning process. But i can give you a few helpful hints on how to get her to ride on her own

The way that I have seen some people do it is, they would stand in front of them and make them get used ti the clutch and throlte. Then you would slowly move and make sure that they are looking where they want to go. ( You know how important that is ) and eventually they will get comfy enough with it that then you can move up to trying to change gears

I hope that helps a little. I am not good at trying to type out helpful info. to where it can make sence :p

Good luck and ride safe !!

Carms was my first 2 up partner and it was her 1st time doing stunts. I wanted to venture into something new and she did also. My best advise is be very comfortable in your stoppies by yourself. Once you feel you are in complete control then move on (keep in mind accidents can happen) If something does not feel right then do not follow through with it. The only thing I told Carms to do when we first started was hold on tight and tighten your legs up against the rear fairing. From there she pretty muched learned what to do on her own to stay on the bike. It may have helped that she rides her own bike as well. As far as teaching your girl to ride, It is a great idea. Carms has been teaching a fellow girl in our area to ride, so maybe she can give you somemore pointers in that area as I have not had to teach anyone. Also maybe she can elaberate(sp?) on some of the stunting issues because there is no way in hell I would do stunts as a passenger on someones bike I give mad props to the passengers of stunters because they have to be more crazy then the rider.

Put that chick on a dirtbike, will give her the essentials of driving a bike without the weight. As far as stoppies go, just tell her to hang on, and remember once the bike comes up it is a hell of a lot harder to control than when you are riding solo. Balance point is a little different also. Practice small stoppies, you know the one's you do when you are begining to learn stoppies where it only gets up about 5 inches and then progress up higher and higher. Good luck--If you wreck with her while doing stoppies you might not get no *** for awhile. My 2cents. :head
