So im new to this site, and just have a quick question. Im a big guy (6'3" and 215 lbs) and wondering if any other big guys have some tips for stunting. I can do some stunts, working on getting the idle wheelie down and can do tank spreaders and working on seat standers. any advice for a big guy on what feels like a little bike?

 

heres some advice. dont use your size as a crutch it has absolutely no bearing on riding a bike. if anything being big helps you control that bike. there are tons of sick riders that are your size, all the guys i ride with are big as ****. the whole section 518 team is enormous. im only 5'6 155lbs so think what its like for me to be handling a bike thats 430 lbs..... the only issue you may run into is when you get good enough to do pullthroughs, if youre not flexible youll have trouble doing them but that really goes for little guys as well as the big guys. beleive it or not you have an advantage at riding compared to us little guys, you make those bikes look like 50s where we make em look like caddilacs

 

I'm only 6'2" but weigh in at 235. Don't think it makes a bit of difference, clutch, brake and throttle still do the same. Pulling through maybe(i'm not there yet) but get flexible.

 

alot of big dudes use it as an excuse...im 6'6 300..i never let it be in my mind that i couldnt do something cuz of my size...i know theres a couple things that in my shape i cant do but never will say it wont happen if i didnt dedicate myself to it more...

just go for it and dont let u size hold u back

 

Im learning that, i just did some skitching practice with a buddy of mine that is a small guy and i had a huge advantage because of my height
