Stunts on Rides?

**Marmoot** · 2nd November 2005, 11:40

This is crazy.....wheelstands are dangerous! You should think twice before doing that sort of thing on public road!

I know I always did. The problem was that I have always been a fast thinker

depends who I'm riding with,

If it's people I know then yeah all good,

But if I don't then I won't, not to keen on making a dick of myself in public. ( if and when I fall off trying).

If they have been a real cock - just phone the feds and leave 'em.

It's me that doesn't do the stunting...

If my word means anything Zed is humourless and excessively patronising......... a size able group of diverse Kbers share the same opinion

All good - we can agree to disagree on that one...

I know some of you disapprove, so now's your chance to say why, no holds barred!

Good reason for the law to hand out tickets, although off road they have no say in the matter

same same as shakespear's henry V calling his army 'brothers' at agincourt,

So am I to take it that you don't approve then? Sure it's risky, but so is riding at excess speeds...you do ride a K3 don't you?

Ok ok, I don't see the harm in being friendly, you are after all a fellow KBer...even if you do live in the land of Oz!

I have no problem with those who want to do stunts on rides. It just has to be the right time and place. And you have to be careful you don't influence the wrong people like newer riders, otherwise stunts on rides are great!
