    Stunts or just a hooligan. Lets get organised, and get a place to practice.

    We all need a place to get some practice, a place we can build skills where we dont have to wonder if the police will turn up. Im keen to put some time and energy into making this happen. I am thinking of a very large tarseal or concrete area that the only rules are to look out for each other and try not to hurt yourself.

    Im keen to know if anybody else is interested in finding a place where you can have some fun without the fines or court costs. Or is this just my reality ???

    Long term...... every major city has a place for anyone to go and be a hooligan for a couple of hours. Away from the risk of being caught, or risking the safety of the general public.

    This can happen

    Thanks Gremlin, I was just in the middle of merging 3 of them when I found this 4th one.

    Leave it out OP, one thread in the appropriate forum is all that is needed.

    I was trying to get the message out to all riders. Its not just for stunters. didnt know there were as many rules here as on the road, Thanks KB police, you rock.

    By the way, what is the appropriate thread for everyone ???

    Its obvious that I spend more time on a bike than I do sitting in front of a confuser making commentary.

    Im still keen to organise this

    Good on ya for stepping up. But if you're organising a spot for general hooliganism and shenanigans, then this "Stunt Riding" forum is definitely the best place for it.

    I would have thought THIS FORUM would be more apropriate?

    It's alright now now, we at KB Police are expediting a box of official 'I love the KB Police' tissues. If you didn't know the rules that's your fault, but just to clear things up, don't spam the forum with the same thread. And WT (he's not KB Police, more like a traffic warden) has explained what subsection of the forum your thread should be in.

    I'm a hall monitor actually OAB.

    The original poster might not have considered that by having four different threads on exactly the same subject, you'll get different posters unaware of what's being discussed in the other threads, and possibly missing the boat.

    Back on track, get in touch with Death INC, he's a stunt nut and always has potentially good ideas to throw in the hat.

    I'd be great to have a spot to try the track bike on, closer than Manfeild.

    Just to check things are running smoothly before loading the van to go to the track. My street where I live is not ideal for this kind of stuff, close to the prison and all.

    Most cops are sweet with riders using public carparks as long as you respect the owners and the police if they show up/tell you to move along.
    We have been spoken to a few times by the cops at our spot but they are always nice and we come to an arrangement.
