C'mon guys n girls, I know there must be more of you out there that are keen on stunting!

I'm shy.
Good choice with the Blade larriken but wouldn't you be better off with a later model with RWU (or USD as some would think) front forks for stoppies. Those older twigs might snap on ya.
Hard yakka catching a rolling stoppie on film. These were a feeble attempt on my 929. The CBR1000 was excellent for stoppies but never got any pics myself - and I blew a fork seal the other day at Castlepoint. Had to ride home with oil running over the front brake back along my boot and on to rear wheel.
Cheers for raising the topic anyway. An orgy-nised get together of interested idiots would be a blast sometime.

Hahaha, funnily enough I have two blown fork seals at the moment! Don't worry though, old Blades are more than up to the task! Come over and post up some pics on the stunt forum!

Count me in! This stunt riding is so freakin' addictive. What I wouldnt give to be able to wheelie & stoppie like that.
Was lucky enough to have a blast on one of those little thumpstars yesterday. Unfortunatly I'd had a few too many so my riding was not that great. Was too chicken to jump the ramp but made a complete dick of myself wheelieing and falling flat on my arse. OUCH!
As soon as I get my steering head bearing sorted it'll be all go. I have just the rat for practicing with.

I'm too much a Nana for this, but am interested in what you are trying to do. Happy to be supportive, and love to see you guys (and gals) in action.

Hope you don't mind, but as I'll be asking a few dumb questions every now and again as I don't know some of your tricks lingo (like in the header). Looked at the site and Larriken had posted that he had just done a "high chair". What the fu*k is that:spudwhat:

More than welcome and dumb questions are always welcome. Highchair is when you pull a wheelie sitting on the tank with your legs hanging over the front of the bike. I am a complete rank novice at them but I'll get a pic taken and post it up later in the week.
