If I met more stunters like youself, I might think differently. Nonetheless, at various bike events I have run into several hundred "stunters", and the average is not in your favor.
I don't find stunting interesting; there are three things you can do on a sportbike, a wheelie, a stoppie, and some sort of variant of riding the bike. All stunts are variations of these three things. Personally, I can only watch so much before I get bored. At least dirt bike riders jump and do flips and shit. 
I'm not trying to be a ballbuster (well maybe a little, but I don't mean any offense  ), I'm just saying that a) I have not run across many stunters I would call stand-up motorcyclists and b) stunting is not my cup of tea.
And I really am sorry, but I dont get the dragging the fuck along behind your bike, rashing your genital area on the pavement thing. 
Then again, I live on a mini-farm and enjoy roping cattle off the back of a horse, so take anything I say with a sizeable grain of salt.  |
I must say I agree with your statements entirely. And much like all things.... I got tired of stunt riding. It is very boring, got boring, and is only a variation of 3 things... all very very true. I got tired of the crowd too. It went from competent individuals with goals, aspirations, and dreams of building something "BIG" to lunatics out to cause trouble, break the law, and do something other than drugs with their lives.
Truthfully, haven't actually "stunted" a bike since probably 2003. Those pics in my avatar are pretty damn old at this point.
I just wanted to convey a different message to you.... maybe make you realize it's a bit more diverse than you think.
Lata,
Brian
