Stunting terminology for those who don't know:

12:00 wheelie
A wheelie past that balance point of the bike. The back brake must be used here to keep the bike from flipping. People who ride 12:00s commonly scrape the taillight while riding the wheelie.

180° stoppie
Doing a stoppie and turning the bike around with the back tire still in the air so the endo is landed facing the opposite way it started. Turning it 180 degrees.

Circle Wheelie
Doing a wheelie and riding it in a circle. It is a slow wheelie can be done using usually one or two traffic lanes on a road or a parking lot.

Apehanger
Doing a 12:00 wheelie you stand the bike straight up and hit the taillight. While the bike is scraping along like that you jump off of the bike and let your legs drag behind it while holding on the handle bars. Then you do a pull-up and ride the bike away.

Balance Point (BP)
When riding a wheelie there is a point where the bike stops accelerating and you can continue doing the wheelie with no gain in speed. This is the balance point where your bike is perfectly balanced.

Can-Can A stand-up wheelie where you take one leg and cross it over in front of your body to the opposite side of the bike.

Christ / Christ Air To stand up on your moving bike. Mostly on the tank, and sometimes on the seat or passenger seat. It is called a "Christ" because you generally extend your arms while standing on the bike to resemble Christ on the cross.

Crossed-up
1. Also see highchair. This is when you sit on your gas tank and put your feet over the windshield. A crossed-up wheelie, or stoppie or a crossed-up donuts. 2. Some say that a crossed-up trick is when you do a highchair and cross your legs. 3. When you do a stoppie or wheelie and your arms are "crossed-up" meaning right hand on clutch and left hand on brake.

Donut / Circle Burnout
When doing a burnout you spin in a circle. This is what causes all the pretty black circles in the roads.

Duct TapeA stunters favourite repair tool. When you "crunchify" your bike, duct tape will keep you riding until you can get another replacement part.

Flamingo
While doing a wheelie you stand up on your seat and bring one leg straight behind you.

Frog Wheelie
This is when you do a wheelie while standing on the gas tank.

Furred
Often stunters don’t want to repaint their bikes so they just cover them with fur to hide any imperfections. This also acts like duct tape and holds broken plastics together.

Handstand
While riding your bike down the road you do a handstand on the moving motorcycle.

Highchair
See crossed up. This is when you sit on your gas tank and put your feet over the windshield. Generally its a highchair wheelie but sometimes is also used to reference a highchair stoppie or sitting highchair while doing donuts.

Spreader (also known as Iron Cross)
See tank wheelie. This is when you sit on your gas tank and do a wheelie with your legs spread out like you are doing the splits.

Leap of Faith
To jump from your seat to your gas tank while riding a moving bike.

Loop or Looping
To flip your bike over backwards while doing a wheelie and crash.

Fender Grab
While doing a wheelie, stoppie or burnout rider will reach over their front fairing and grab their front fender.

The 'christ' or 'christ air' is often referred to as the 'crucifix' too for obvious reasons.
How about the 'Loosebruce' where you stoppie up to a speed bump in front of a copper coming the other way...... :Pokey:

Stunting terminology for those who don't know:




Oh SH*T
While doing a wheelie,you realize about the 1:30 position that your ego has outrun your talent

White trash
8th November 2005, 21:25

Yeah. And right at the front of the dewey decimal system, would be, "Don't park your bike in Jimbo and Kaths kitchen"

Second would have to be, "One solitary voice knows less about wind than the 15 others he's riding with"

LAst but not least (and my favourite) would have to be..........


"If someone says you can't get 'round a 65 kay corner at 3 1/2 times that posted limit, you probably shouldn't atempt it."

How do the engines survive extended wheelies?
Is there normally still sufficient lubrication going to the head on your usual four cylinder machine?

Well it usually starts like this:

KBer: “My bike just doesn't seem to want to wheelie.”
WT: “I’ll be the judge of that. Where’s your keys? Hand ’em over...”

When I started this thread yesterday I was having a few glitches with KB. It wasn't showing that there was a stunting forum, but I see it there now. Would one of our fabulous moderators please move this into the appropriate spot (and accept my profound apologies for being a bad, bad girl by posting in the wrong forum).

So how are your wheelies going Rashika??

err...well I aint really a wheelie girl (i'd luv too but dont think i have the balls to do that), altho I *think* came close to it at Ruapuna for the braking tests we did. Things felt very light up the front when i took off and left the R6 for dead ( :blip: ), but then i had too many other things to think about (like braking hard) to wonder whether i got a mm off the road :rockon:

and yup we prob should know better ...but it is kinda cool seeing someone do wheelies and stuff on your bike ...just as long as they DONT break the bloody thing!

The Buell stands on its hinds very easly, but in 1st it does it so bloody fast (short wheel base I guess) ya cant help but crap ya grunds. 2nd will bounce up some times but just the smallest clutch and its like 1st gear straight up...... altho a easy mono bike I find it tricky compared to the VTR, R6, K4 I often ride, minde you I aint no pro at dumb shit:bash:
