Default Anyone Stunt?

Just curious, how many out there stunt? There's a local group here that does a lot of that and they practice almost all the time. They've got some videos on their site at www.256north.com and I take a lot of pics and short video clips of their practice sessions and put them on my site. Thought I'd share.

Stunting is rather GAY. I really wish it would just go away. It does next to nothing for the sport. The only way it is remotely acceptable is when it is done in a controlled environment and even then if you claim this shit on your insurance you are the scum of the earth. Health insurance (especially if you're not wearing any gear) or motorcycle insurance.

Thank you and have a good night.

Thanks for NOT sharing.

Wow, I can't believe the degree of negative feedback. I guess to each their own.

I still think Miguel Duhamel is awesome.

Although I don't see how it does "nothing for the sport". Which sport are you talking about? Drag racing or road racing? (Those are the only two I know of.)

I don't consider myself a stunter but I do enjoy partaking in a nice stand-up or maybe a rolling burnout every now and then (In a safe environment of course).

For all those with their harsh negativity... SUCK IT! Then go get a life.

I like watching it, but think it's cool on closed courses by people who know what they're doing.

Too many dipshits doing it on public streets, showing off in traffic, damage the image of all sportbikers.

I agree. It's just too volatile to be doing it with others around. The crashes are just too unpredictable. Of course that can apply to any type of stunts or tricks on a bike or even in a car. Skill is one thing, but safety is another. Safety first.

stunting is functional. alot less money than racing. no harm done in an industrial neighborhood side street, wear gear. wouldnt watch it unless its me doing it.
