I'm sensing a hint of jealousy...do what you want with your bike(that is if you even have one). Jeremy and Ryan do what they want, and that is stunting. Stunt riding is the shit. So...STFU and quit being a little bitch because you can't do what they can./end rant
I'm not jealous at all. I have owned two bikes, an 01 R6 and an 07 ZX6. All I am saying is that it takes quite a bit more skill to be fast on a bike at the track than it does to to a m4d tyte 5mph wh33li3!!111! Maybe you could change the title of the thread to nutswinging 101?

Maybe you could change the title of the thread to nutswinging 101?You don't know half the skills that it takes to stunt. Everything includes the perfect balance, right amount of brake use, throttle control. Way harder to catch on than racing a track. I can keep up with a lot of riders in town on my stunt bike when there on their minty one. Maybe not over 110mph. But I will still smoke most of them other wise on twisties otherwise. I don't do much cornering but I did recently race the Las Vegas speedway and it was a piece of cake to get use to.
So quit hating on stunt riders because you can't do it.

Because I find real "riding" to be more difficult than stunting I am jealous? You guys do a lot of assuming. DerekS you must be a ridiculously good rider, racing at a track was a piece of cake huh? I would like to see how you would do at an AMA or other track/race day competition. Anyone can go out and think that they are fast or feel comfortable doing it but that doesn't always mean that they are setting a good lap time at all.

I traded in the kawa last week:(
I still haven't claimed to have any stunting skills lol.well if your claiming that, then why bash people and say it isnt as hard as riding on a track???

Read your post again and tell me it makes sense. I claim to be skilled at neither, I do believe that it is harder to be faster at a track. For example:
This:

Wow did you realy compare valentino rossi to some guys that just like to have fun stuntin in their free time? For one learning to ride be it stunting or dropping knee isn't realy that hard to pick up if you have a bike and money to fix it. But most importantly north dakota has zero places to learn the twisties properly, and they have a lot legal to stunt in and enjoy it,,,, stunt on

It was a discussion of skill, not a comparison of the two. And tell me how learning proper form, staying on your line, proper breaking and shifting technique, and corner entry speed are so easy to pick up on? Take any member of the army of squids in the FM area and I bet any one of them can do a wheelie for you, can any of them actually ride? Hardly, and they all prove it day in and day out by weaving in and out of traffic, riding ridiculously fast, and cutting off cars. There are plenty of lake roads to learn on as long as you stay safe and don't push it to hard. One of my favorites is the backroad to DL through Downer. If I'm not mistaken there is also a track in Brainerd as well.

ok, i race dirt and now Supermoto, and learning to go fast takes nothing. anyone can hold a line if they know to hold lines, and turns are quite easy to get used to. I cant stunt worth a shit... Personally stunting takes greater skill to master and actually be good at it. Also, AMA sanctioned events arent the best... since it is geared for ametures its not like you have to be fast to run them... Just so you know. And to race the AMA championships, you just have to be an a-class rider in your district... which if you race enough happens...

If I'm not mistaken there is also a track in Brainerd as well.any body can do power wheelies and ride them for a distance a high speed. but it does take skills to be able to slow them down and ride them a a low rate of speed. it takes lots of throttle and brake control like Derek said.

Your right it takes no skills to burn rpms in a wheelie, but to everyone doing it in a parking lot is riding only idle. The means only brake use unless they fall out of balance point and need to blurp the throttle to knock it back in. Huge difference.
Harwood you'll be looking forward to supermoto more and more. What little I have rode it, its been a blast. Completly different than track racing. Those guys have some talent hands down. Takes a little bit of everything and mixes it into a crazy sport.

NO. you are the last person that can even open an oppinion about it, ESPICALLY since you even said you cant do either.
so my question to you is, how do you know what take more skill??
