    Not neccesarily. Think of it like this. You find a perfect spot for $1000 for a full days hire. Get 10 riders. That would be easy. and you're only looking at $100each. I'd pay $100 for a days stunt practice, no problem. Think a bit more and who here would pay $5 to spectate a whole days stunting? Everyone I know. Then you allocate the final 3 hours of the day for competition. I'll give you a copy of the judging criteria if you like.

    It gets better, plan it for 6 months in the future. Approach a bike shop for sponsership ($500 is bloody cheap advertising) have trade stalls, the works.

    The great thing about stunting, is it's a perfect spectator sport. The action is in a small area, the turn around times quick, the incident rate high, and because of the relative low speeds, injuries minor.

    Sort this out and congrtulations! You're now a series promoter!

    Hands off! It's my idea!

    Thanx for that wkid. I'd like to say to the police officers that there were no activity going on the road other than us while we were stunting. It was the quietest possible place at the quietest possible time.

    Saying that, there is always a risk of damaging public property etc etc so that'll be the last stunt meet up on public roads. In other words "It won't happen again officer, promise "
    Obviously no one was hurt or you wouldn't be posting the pics on a public forum but whats to say that a local hasn't got all of this on video and is off at the local cop shop as we speak? Doing stunts in a public street is stupid for more reasons than just the obvious potential harm to others. You are putting yourself at great risk of being prosecuted. As for the photos on the forum, you have blanked out the regos but if a complaint was forthcoming with date, time, place description of vehicles & drivers / riders you have supplied pretty good evidence to coroborate the complaint. Think about what you are doing and where and when you are doing it. At least try and be discrete.

    *yawn*

    Thankfully I believe karma eventually gets those wonderful people who have nothing better to do than rain on others parade.
    Look at it sensibly. They were A. In a deadend street. B. In an industrial area on a Sunday. C. Had relative safety messures in place.
    The only thing I could see anyone (even the most puriten(sp?)) having a problem with is the marks left by the burnouts. In response though I'd point out that they obviously used no desiel/other annoyances, so besides a few marks no damage was done or risks imposed on other motorist.

    No offense intented, but sometimes you seem to need to relax at little.

    Who cares if he or anyone who attended gets prosecuted? (No offence MR) MR is all grown-up, so are the people who came, took pictures and put them on the internet. Let's just be thankful they did take pictures

    Pointing out the many unlikely ways they could be caught is irrelevant I would have thought. He either gets busted or he doesn't. My dollar is on the negative.

    WT, your ideas sound great! don't worry, you'll get credit for it if we have a proper stunt meet in the future. I'll see what I can do.

    Thanx again Spud, your wise words have been taken into account. Time for organising a worry free legal stunting day I say. But before that, race meeting on the 6th wooohooo!!

    I have to agree with ChudSpucker!

    Take this pic



    What if the man in the background had a kid who ran out on the road to chase a ball?? From the background of some of the photos - it looks like a semi ressie street to me.

    My comments were only intended to open you eyes to the fact that doing this on a public street AND taking photos - not only provides entertainment - but also evidence.

    I did what I could by checking out that group of people and their facials as I went past by. They wern't concerned in the slightest sence. Most weren't all that intrested in us. Thoes who were, were just spectating.

    That area is not a residential zone at all, trust me. I wouldn't dream about doing it anywhere near where people live. Thoes guys were just working on a sunday.

    Nope,non-residential,and the bloke in the background(and a few others from the same factory,musta been their break,btw that was the only one on the whole street with any activity too....) was happily watching..... :spudbooge
    Also other than myself,no-one really went that far up the street .
    My opinion too,but I actually value Spud's contribution ,it helps us know a bit more clearly where we stand from THE MAN's point of veiw.....
    One other point,as we all know from the last ride ,I'm willing to risk the negative side of all this,but just to keep the rest of you entertained of course.....

    No there aren't, the old spots are too cop ridden now. Only place to do it is on coms country road in the wops with cow crap all over it and wandering stock. Not what I would call good roads.

    You have me all wrong....I am more concerned about someone being prosecuted for having fun. Shit I used to wheelie the length of my parent street (once I learnt how) straight outside their house and 6am in the morning on the VTR.....there just weren't any photographers around.

    Taking photos is great - but be careful of the circumstances.

    Pukekohe?

    Anyone know how much Puke is to get for a day? Or probably more relevant, availability? That way you can stunt half the day and do some laps for the rest?
