New guy - KawiSquid812 - 10-06-2012
Hey guys names Jake I am new to stunt riding, been riding for about 4 years but just fell in love with stunting it's truly amazing what some guys can do with a 400lb bike....and I want to be one of those guys! I am hoping to get some important knowledge for the sport and possibly find a good deal on a smaller bike on here too or anywhere...so if you got something thats already been beat to shit for cheap i'll take it...when tax time comes around. I'm riding a 91 zx7 right now with a 93r motor that has cams and been bored few other small things. it's also stretched a little bit it's a fast bike and I've learned to circle burnout a bit thanks to my mechanic and his hook up of old rear tires lol. but wheelies are a no go on this thing. Thanks for not clowning on my bike too much lol

i'd say save your dollars and maybe sell that bike and get a cheap used f4i for around $2000, then get it rideable and add parts as necessary. you don't need anything special to learn a basic wheelie except a feel for the rear foot brake.
then if you decide you like doing wheelies and want to progress you can add parts on a needs basis. setting up a bike completely is rather expensive

Yeah my plan was to find one with at least a cage and handbrake on it i know i am going to thrash it learning lol. don't know if i could get rid of my bike now i built her from the ground up from a hunk of poo and it's eating up newer 1000's on the street she's mean but thanks for welcoming me i hope to learn a lot from you guys
GET WELL JOSH GRAHAM!!

And my bike was set up perfectly for learning rolling burnouts starting to try and muster up the courage to try drifting it but I got no protection on it so I never lay back into it after starting to slide if that makes sense to you

yeah I have no problem traveling to get one. I've heard F4easy's are a little sluggish compared to the 6dirty but everyone says I should start on a f4 cause they are cheaper and i'm most likely going to destroy my first one lol
