Question NEWBIE first purchase

I finally want to learn stunting.

Right now i have an 02 GSXR 1000 that i want to stunt with. Basically i need advice on what to buy first right now theres no armor/cage or 12-bar just frame/swingarm sliders.......

Also what should i try first i can already wheelie(sit-down, stand up, tank, and change gears) nothing crazy but hey im a newbie...............

SO what should i buy first for stunting and what trick should i try to learn first???

Good luck finding armor for it, better know somebody that can fab something good for it. I'de say the first thing to work on would be slow stand-ups. They're much easier than slow sit-downs, and it is easier to get away from the bike when it goes down, which will happen for a while. I would really suggest a fuel injected 600, much better for stunting than big bikes, especially for the slow stuff. If you do stunt the gix, at least remove all your plastic for the first month or so. Don't forget the gears. I'de go at least +12 in the rear. I'm running -2+25 right now. May be overkill, but its fun for parking lots.

i say learn on stock gearing and when u do get gearing itll just make it that much easier. and if ur just looking to do faster stuff then u wont need any at all. also dont use a 12 bar until ur ready youll just **** yourself up cuz u think itll save you and it will just send u flyin
