I just can't help giggling when I think about you looping a 1st gear wheelie cause you can only get it up 2 feet but then your weight takes over and even after you close the throttle it still goes backwards and you try and try to slam it back down with the rear brake but you flip and it it falls on top of you. Then you go "teeehehe" like the Pillsbury doughboy cause you're so huge you broke the bikes fall....

Learn to spell.
That was a pretty productive comment. I checked your avatar for a pic of you stunting, but it wasn't there..... then I checked your gallery, still nothing. As for weighing 300 and breaking the bike, I attached a pic of one of the guys on the team. He is 3+ and the bike never failed. What about the pro's that are doing 4 ups? Think 4 riders weigh more than 300 lbs? Be productive with your posts, people are here to learn.

Can't attach, so check the link.

Re: how long after you got your bike befor you started to do wheelies?

thanks flametoe fo getin my back , he just hatin cause he cant do anything on his bike and he see's someone trying to learn so he laughs at them and calls himself a stunter. FHL is 17 too so he proble hasent even whiped out on his bike yet, he'll proble sell his bike after his first wreck and get a honda civic. cause he has no heart for the sport, and if you wanna laugh at somone for trying then i hope you do sell you bike and get a civic cause in my opinion you dont belong on a bike. everyone's gotta start somewhere.. peace out to everybody exept FHL.

Hi mate, Im a big fella too at 6,2" 100kg, I have pulled wheelies on everything I have been able to get my hands on, I also agree go a CBR900RR are the go, parts are eaisy to find and you can strip these your self.

I have 2 CBR900RR 99' these bikes are almost industractable I have broken heaps on mine and my self but It has held up better than most of my mates bikes.... I know not everyone is in a situation where they can have 2 bikes, but if you buy 2 older bikes or one old bike for stunting and one good on for road riding.

also if you happen to get the same model you can use one Rego..... little dodgy but still works well for me...

Good luck,

I like how the people who can't stunt **** on the ones that are trying to learn. GPcrew can be a little annoying from time to time, but he is here to better himself and has asked some valid questions.

Oh yeah 20 isn't that old and wise either. And please post a few pics of you skills.

that comment has absolutely nothing to do with stunting in any way. did you graduate from high school, and if so, would you recommend following the same path to others? the point that i was getting at was that he needs to graduate from high school instead of getting a GED, then if he doesnt feel the need to continue his education, so be it.

Is it a special cookie? made from all natural green plants?

I droped out at 17, got a sweet job building Web Servers...school isnt everything!

Im not saying that you should drop out or anything, in fact I reckon that you should finish, All I'm saying is that School doesn't gaurentee anything as far as getting a Job goes, unless you want to be a doctor or something like that.

Just injoy life :YEAH . Its never too late to start something new.

Re: how long after you got your bike befor you started to do wheelies?

im taking the ged pre test this week, im hoping to be out of school in 2 weeks. hope to have full time job in three and hope to have 9rr in less than 4 months but if it take longer than so be it. ill problee sell my bike and get 9rr, and a 6 somthing to stunt. ill learn bp on 6, and race or just ride nine till i can transfer the skills i obtain on the 6 to the 9rr. after i get good at BP **** though. i might do power wheelies but im not gonna try to hit bp on 9 till im good at it on the 6, cause from what i hear bp is touchy on 9 and not for beginners.
