Same question i always ask with this sort of thing, how did they find out they could do it? How many times did they crash finding out they could?

a lot

especially on backflips...

not at all..i disagree dude!

Pastrana is not a road rider...onroad stunting is TOTALLY different and thus imo should not be contrasted in such a way! It has also been about several decades more than superbike stunting, which is very much in its infancy, even more so here in the UK!

Timbo- to pratice backflips etc they use whats known as a "foampit"...basically it does what it says on the tin. Theres a couple of good vids with guys using a blade with one...the last video it goes horridly wrong and the guy overshoots onto tarmac from like 12 feet or so...PAIN..

I get bored watching AC Farias et al. Its very cool for about 5 minutes and no doubt they have some serious skills, but wheelie... stoppie... burnout... oh, a wheelie in a different position doesn't do it for me any more.

Live shows are much better - Dave Coates, Xtreme Trials guys etc have all been brilliant to watch live.

I also have a bunch of Adrenaline Crew, Ruff Riders, road stunt DVDs and they don't compare in wow and omg that was cool factor to Nitro Circus DVDs.

Its all jealousy because I can't do it anyway ;)

Would you want to? I wouldnt.

Really? I'd love to be a wheelie god.

Not likely to happen though. Too concerned over wrecking myself (again) and the Storm to learn.

I'll do a wheelie school with rental bikes when I get around to it.

Nice viewing Timbo

I'd luv to be a wheelie expert, but probably it's just as well I'm not, license wise

That is a fair point kitch, but i think in the last two years the tricks have progressed so much- EG: doing somersaults (SP) on your bike at 70mph is quite impressive imo!

As for wheeling, if any of you guys are down by me, give us a shout, ill happily get you wheeling all day long!

(cheaper than a wheelie school too, a Â£2.20 pint will suffice )
