Thing with stunting is that theres alot of crashing.....I don't want to disscurage u or anything but I had a friend who just broke his ankle on fri. cause he couldn't get far enough away from the bike and I could see u having the same problem if u happen to go down

Ben.... You are a real inspiration, man. I'm gonna be a father in Feb. You definitely inspire me with your spirt and your attitude. I hope that I can aspire to be as great of a parent as you. I'll be on the lookout for bike setups and the whatnot. Take care, man!

Congrats on being a new father!!!!!
Thanks!! for the props .Ill probly just copy what they did on the prototype bike I cant get anyone to return my emails on that site.Maybey because its in austraila ?I like the landing gear idea ,but I think I need to take it a bit farther and make it work manualy with a switch or somthing.Ive heard of a couple paraplegics stunting but I cant get there contact info.Im just going to have to break new ground on this project.

Thanks man! Yeah...I guess I'd go with an electric shifter and a good HB setup should be easy with a moose or msr raptor. Solenoid controlled landing gear seems like it would work out the best as far as I can imagine, and you'll need a retention system for your feet and knees kinda like Lee Beaver has.
