Heyy whats up I'm from NYC and it seems in my local stunt area people are stunting and they are proud that they are doing it on a stock bike ie no 3rd brake or sprockets and well im torn between fitting in by riding a stock bike or going for a full fledged stunt bike. I would like a few opinions on this before i get my bike.

 

do what you want. don't let other people make your decision for you.

 

Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

Point?

Ask yourself what you want to do, what fight you want to be in.


In my opinion nothing is cheating. It all helps you become a better proformer.
Only downfall I see is learning some tricks before really learning good throttle controll. I/E H/C or Spreaders with a handbrake.

I think you have earned your handbrake when you can do coasters over 300 feet or so...

Just my thoughts. But I am old school....

 

Oh and +1

 

You'll most likely have alot more fun on a geared /setup bike. just my

 

If ur gonna stunt, buy a stunt bike. They're cheaper and better than regular bikes anyway.

 

NY is the capital of trash talking and ball busting. I don't think you're safe from any form of ridicule as long as you live there regardless of what you decide to do.

 

thats true as hell. +1 for gorka oh ya thanks matt for teaching me 0s. i got that adv wheelies 2 vids

 

score! i'm so in, actually gettin my hb welded today... but my bike is all stock.. it's an f4i.. no gearing, no hb (yet) and just a cut pipe.. only problem i have is almost stallin while turning.. my idle is at 3k.. and with stock gearing when u get it real slow and try to make semi sharp turns it wants to bog.. but stock is just fine, like schwartz said, it'll give you throttle control.. i bet it's harder learning with big gearing, makes the bike twitchy

 

^ Get me a hb too sucka!

 

**** u.. go get your own master cylinder and line,, and spare bracket n caliper,, and then toss me 50 bucks and it'll be done

 

Haha...I'll prolly just do a direct line into the caliper and not run duals but I gotta look for a 1k master.

 

learn bp wheelies and brake control stock. once you get there, consider gearing and all that jazz. HB only after you set a few off the pegs things on the tail or bar, definately get throttle control first.

 

yeah, that was my plan.. i have a rear master you can purchase off of me, with the extra fitting

 

if you have to ask random people what you want to do then i think the real question you should be asking yourself is, "why am i riding in the first place?"

 

Easy man, he is just asking a harmless question. He specifically said he wants to hear peoples opinions, pros or cons. Don't be a stuntlife snob.

My opinion= Ride stock.

 

ya but wouldnt gearing it a lil help save them from looping some what when learning brake control. every loop out crash i see from squids on here is stock gearing.

 

just go up a few teeth in the back or somethin.. somethin mild but noticable just have fun

 

For those that think you get extra points for pulling the same tricks on a stock bike?

Not with this judge...

 

stunt !
crackheads at gas stations and mcd's go
"whoa you know how to do those stoppos ?"

and best of all:
if you go with full stunt you can have a bar to put your foot in !!!
