What's a stunting forum?

I like watching stunts but after so many stunts you realize there's just really three stunts:

Wheelies and variations of where the body is positioned during it.
Stoppies and variations of where the body is positioned during it.
Off the Bike - running after the bike and catching it, walking beside the bike, having the bike donut while you hold the throttle, etc.


So I figure I'll have to go to the 'experts' to find out what other stunts there are besides those three. I like watching stunts, but not when it's the same things over and over and over again.


And if anyone here knows good videos to watch then by all means, post them. The best I've seen thus far was a guy who had two Ducatis, a street bike and what looked to be a dirt bike. He was pretty good and entertaining.

The other videos, not quite so much.

There are many more stunts... and combinations of stunts... check out www.uponone.com and go down to the very bottom of the screen and click videos then watch some.

Yes yes that's where I've been getting the videos.

Tehy're all the same stunt essentially.

You have wheelies, then you have a wheelie where you stand up in teh seat, then another where yous it on the windshield, then another where you ride with no hands, then another where you kick your feet up and grab the handle bars, etc.

Then you have stoppies, then one where you turn the bike while doing a stoppie, and well, that's about it.


Then you'll have stunts where you're jsut riding in a straight line doing stuff in the saddle like hand stands and stuff which are more impressive then the other stuff (need more balance)

And then you'll have stunts off the bike.


The best one I've seen thus far was the guy doing a donut with the bike while standing on the side of the bike, but I think it was pivotting around a peg and not actually balanced out so it wasn't that impressive.

check out Christian Phieffer (sp) find some of his videos, he does some amazing stuff

Well, like you said, there's really only those three basic stunts (unless you're talking about dirt bikes, with ramps and such), I don't know what other stunts you expecting to find.

here's a variation that you don't see everyday, but a real traffic stopper-

Pour five gallons of gas on your bike then light it and ride away as fast as you can so the flames get blown away from you......

JUST KIDDING!

You have to ride waaaay to faast to keep the flames away from you.

That would be entertaining to watch though.

I don't know if there ARE more types of stunts but if there aren't, why do people go out to watch the same stunt they've seen time and time again?


And why would they pay money for DVDs composed of a stunt that thousands of other people can do, and have done, and is available for free?

....there are always jumps....

I can ride backwards.....
