At least that picture makes it look like the bike runs out of lean angle before it runs out of tire anyway. Woops, guess that contributes to the derail!

Lean angle is why I am trying to sell my vstar. It was cool until it was in the shop for 3 weeks and I played musical chairs on a few much-sportier bikes. Now I try to pull up the road on almost every bend

They should do a scene in the next mission impossible or something where someone does that but throws the motorcycle at a helicopter to blow it up.

I just posted this in the show your bike thread, so sorry if you saw it there, but I am really really excited I got it running. Update to my RD I just got: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28cCrrLg7EM Lots of elbow grease and a new battery. Tires, brakes and then seals this winter. edit: That's totally my riding gear. FREEDOM FOR LIFE>

I'm no fan of the stunting scene, but I'd like to learn how to do that whip-hop trick. Y'know, for parking.

Pretty sure it has nothing to with the suitability of the bike, if it did they would all be stunning on trials bikes. Their target demo loves sports bikes and energy drinks. It's like asking why don't insurance companies sponsor more stunt shows.

Z3n posted:I've always been curious as to why there's not more Sumos in stunting. Any commentary on why? I posted a really long post somewhere in here like 3 years ago about this. They are great fun for endos and ok for wheelies, but with no gas tank to put your feet/rear end in they really limit what you can do as far as acros, wheelies and drifts go. Thanks for the complement, we try hard on our budget. If we had more funding I'd really love to branch out and do more. HNasty posted:Pretty sure it has nothing to with the suitability of the bike, if it did they would all be stunning on trials bikes. Their target demo loves sports bikes and energy drinks. It's like asking why don't insurance companies sponsor more stunt shows. It has everything to do with the suitability (and availability) of the bike and pretty much jack poo poo to do with dudes loving sport bikes and energy drinks. Trials bikes are a COMPLETELY different style of riding. It's like saying MotoGP racers only race sport bikes because they're flashy, otherwise they'd be racing flat track. You're talking about two absolutely completely different sports and cultures. Here in France there are many bikes that are popular outside of sport bikes (CB500s and RS50s are the most popular next to sportbikes), but again, they're popular because they're suitable and accessible, not because they come with a Monster logo under the clear coat. You can buy a bike that's perfect for what we do for $2,000 and have years of fun beating the piss out of it 7 days a week pretty much anywhere in America with a maximum of 30 minutes of driving. The sport is very accessible, it's very fun, and it's really cheap compared to most other motor sports. inolen fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Aug 30, 2011 |

Long video, definitely not a Hollywood production, but one of our friends who was at several of the same events as we were this summer just recently released the 3rd webisode of a show documenting his life as a professional rider that's he's been working hard to continually produce this year. It's a good peak at what our lives are actually like nowadays and I thought it may be interesting to some of you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j2E2yi2QfE

Ya but come on you mean there isn't any part of the stunna "culture" that is about young American males and supersport motorcycles, energy drinks, baseball caps at dumb angles, etc...? I get that you can use the gas tank to do tricks and install a pizza dish sized rear sprocket but those things are a result of the bikes these dudes started off stunting with. Wouldn't there be just different kinds of stunts if they used Sumos or Trials bikes ? Personally I'd be more interested in stunting if it involved ramps and obstacles for sumos and trials bikes to play on. Just be glad this isn't the late 90s, I remember when I first heard of stunting it was all fur covered bikes and Star Boyz.
