Wanna setup a bike for stunting?

[carver]

Good post Kevmo, probabaly your best yet.

Dipshit you twit. anyone that's at the stage of their riding that wants to modify their bike to this extent and lower the gearing and whatnot probably know the risks.

Stuntings hard on the machinery. So what? anyone that wants to take it up seriously like these guys do is a lot less likely to die than the squid doing 120mph standups in taffic up and down te rapa. Eh carver you fucken idiot.

oh no, getting hurt, maybe dying....

who gives a fuck, not me!

Yea. When I try to do stoppies on my zxr I either just stop suddenly, or just slow down to walking pace and then the back only comes up maybe an arms length and then I don't have enough speed to keep rolling. Well that or I can feel my forks bottoming. Its easy enough on my 125 but I cant do them on my zxr. I do anything from sitting normally to hanging right over the screen and anywhere from 20ks to 60ks but nothing works. any ideas?

On average how many hours a week/month would you practice for?
What stunt took you the longest to learn?
Thanks

ive been pretty slack, havent been out much, but thats gonna change when i get another road legal stunt bike like my old cbr.

I was practising every night with that thing, and circle wheelies are probly the hardest stunt to learn, a real vicious learning curve to them, i havent got them on a big bike, got them on fiddyes and shit but they are real hard

[racerhead]

Cool thanks man
I had a 125 pit bike for a while and was trying some wheelies and stoppies aswell. Great little things to learn on, except for over cooking a stoppie although dont think anything is good at that

Kevin, get yas ass to Red baron and take my mighty DRZ for a blat.

front either just kind of slides out. I try bouncing it but maybe the shock is too far down the stroke because it doesn't really bounce much when I try to seatbounce... Just kind of me bashing my ass on the seat.......

[gixxer-king]

[wbks]
