    Stunting - Hard?

    In your opinion, is stunting at a basic level (12's, stoppies etc) a very hard thing to learn? Is it one of those things anyone can do with enough practice?

    depends on the person really

    if it suits your riding style then you will be a natural. However if you ride like me it feels to foreign and you will suck at it.
    Yes - anyone can learn it. However mistakes are risky business.
    Easiest bike to start stunts on is a trails
    Reactor Online. Sensors Online. Weapons Online. All Systems Nominal.

    I don't stunt - can't afford too!!!!!!!

    In stock road trim I give some respect to those who do on their streeters. I'm to chicken arse I'll prang mine!

    If you are interested, from what I have read set the bike up right - big arse sprocket on the rear etc.

    Read heaps - what's the rear brake for, low tyre pressures, gearing etc.

    And buy some crash bars........

    Yea well I thought about something cheap and nasty like the cbr600f2 in the setup stunting thread but even though it's cheap, it's also pretty old, so if I end up deciding I'm not up for stunting I've already spent almost a grand (500+250 once repaired) on a bike that won't be a great track bike, or be worth much as a road bike to sell.
