    Yep. I got an idea that if you PM'd Drew you'd get more than a couple of locations...

    You still trying to get someone to perfect the 'On one wheel down the bank through the trees' trick?

    Good thinking.

    Oh and on another note, if anyone does have a good idea, PM the location rather than put it on a public forum!

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I know you're an Aucklander and don't know much below the Bombays, so here's a tip, Taupo is quite a drive from Wellington.

    Churton Park at the fringes of the subdivisons...

    I spent most of my teens driving round there like a maniac and never once ran into a cop. They just don't seem to go there.

    Nice smooth roads.

    your a n00b aint ya, when i did wheelstands on the race track over the start finish line i was black flagged, the race track aint the place for stunting, a wide flat road or carpark is ideal.

    It's a pity you missed out on the few sessions at GM carpark before they ripped up that most sacred of sealed flat surfaces.sniff sniff

    If we could get some more people together and approach it in a sensible manner we could inquire with the HCC about using some of the roads around Seaview. There's lots of room, away from residential areas,they're non essential and very quiet in the weekend, perfect really. They already do carsprints there fairly regularly as well as the famous drags.

    The trick is to go about it properly in terms of getting the right permissions etc, which means time and effort needs to be invested.

    I'd be keen for one if there was a reasonable level of subscription from the punters. It does need to be taken to this level as I don't think there's going to be a decline in the numbers of people interested in stunts, same goes for the number of dipshits around to take a negative view of going about it illegally.

    Good idea. I'm willing to help if we can get a few others into the idea.

    Hopefully I can convince Dad to let me use his trials bike. Been wanting some flat, even grip surface to try mimic Christian Pheiffer's moves.

    Seaviews not a bad idea. I've been down Port road a few times practising my skills. There's no bugger there in the day time on the weekends apart from the occasional semi.

    Still it's a public road so you take your chances with the plod.
