New Forum??? Freestyle??


I was thinking maybe we could add a new forum for freestyle or wheelies or something... good idea? bad idea? I could answer questions for people who have them. I know most of you can do your average wheelie and some of you may even be anti-stunts.... but I think it would be a good thing. If people have questions about technique, I could help them before they go out and hurt themselves.

Just a thought. I wouldn't mind doing it and I think it would be a good addition to this board. The Freestyle community is growing!!

Lata,
Bri

Let me know!

As long as you make sure whoever is interested is responsible enough to do the stunts in a unpopulated area. Not regular roads with traffic.. Then it's all good..

I absolutley DO NOT promote traffic stunting. I think it's stupid. What we do is hard enough. I take this sport very serious.

I know I just wanted to say it for any of the kids out here who might think about it.... You always say you have been down alot(practice) for stunting.. That is how you learn.. I was not doubting you at all.. just any kids that might attempt it in traffic..

very true.... and I know it's easy for me to say "No Traffic Stunting" because I've been there. Whenever I ride with a group of people, some people tend to want to impress. I try to set an example by not doing anything and sometimes even riding below the speed limit just to make a statement. People see me riding slow, they ride slow. I even say sometimes "NO BULLSHIT ON THE WAY" because usually we head to a parking lot. Why fuck around on the street if you're heading to an abandoned street... fuck around when you get there. Why jeopardize your privilege to ride a motorcycle, ya know?

I've spent many days in court, many times on 1 wheel @ 80mph on major highways like 95, 93, 495, 3, etc... but it's all stupid. I look back on it and think how stupid I was. Now don't get me wrong because highway wheelies are lots of fun but it's not worth the consequence. Between making a mistake at 80mph or seeing a Statie... it's just not worth it. (hey, that rhymes... "Mistake at 80 or seeing a Statie" LMAO!!)

Riding wheelies down a main street... absolutely the DUMBEST thing you can do! It's bad enough riding on 2 wheels around here. You always have some jackass not looking or some old lady pulling out her driveway without looking. To many things to worry about when YOU SHOULD BE worrying about balance, rear brake, balance, etc. It's just a big waste of time. Give me a big parking lot and written permission and I'm good to go all night. I never even break the speed limit anymore. Anything over 90mph is stupid. I guess I'm just growing up and respecting what I do and I try my hardest to influence all the newbies.... in a good way.

Lata,
Bri

That would make a pretty cool fourm. I would imagine alot of the balance skills could be put to street use in case of emergency situations.
