Correct.

Most boards seem to have a dislike for stunting unless they are stunt dedicated.

I've never understood the animosity from much of the street crowd though.

Here's our big shitfest thread on stunting.

Here's my .02 cents;

Considering stunting as an art form is like considering basketball dunk contests a real sport. It's not. It's the last refuge of people who can't do the fucking sport the way it was intended.

Yes canyon carvers have accidents too but find the crash or dui rates of your average stunter versus canyon carver and I'll prove that stereotype even more true. I have never met a stunter I would want to hang out with, ride with or trust with anything of value to me. They are generally the bottom of the sportbiking barrel and have correspondingly short lives.

If you're into stunting you should also be into ice skating. All form, no function, lots of homosexuals.

I only got a few pages in, I'll read the rest later.

Again, why the hate from the street crowd? It doesn't seem nearly as palpable with the trackday / racer crowd.

I race, so by your definition, I am allowed to stunt?

edit: Your ninja edit skills are weak.

The second post wasn't there before and makes you look like an even bigger tool than the first.

I think a lot of the animosity comes from the fact that they're the ones you usually see giving our community a bad name... stunting on the freeway... dick'n off in traffic... ect...

not saying they're the only ones... but they're the ones that get publicized and exploited...

I have no issues with them if they take it to a parking lot... or even a back road where no ones really gonna see them. and if they go down... they hurt themselves... and not some innocent passer by.

I have 0 tolerance for the guys who wheelie on the freeway, do burn outs down main street... they're nothing but attention whores... posers who have some skill and weren't happy with the attention they were getting standing next to their bike.

Stunters have skill... I won't argue that... it takes control to do what they do... just do it where it belongs... and quit perpetuating the sportbikers bad name.

No one questions your freedom to stunt, what I'm questioning is your intelligence and motives. Most stunters are fucking retards and I stand by that assessment.

What? You have no answer for my criticisms so you call me a tool.
Cool story bro.

I have not met a stunter yet that fornicates with the mentally handicapped.

What story?

I never called you a tool. I said your post makes you look like a tool. I'm still new. The verdict is still out but I doubt it will end up as a hung jury.

I had no answer for your second post because I noticed it just before signing off.

I have now had a chance to read it.

I have no answer because there are no questions. Your second quote offers no facts or food for thought. It offers some random angry ramblings, name calling, outdated stereotypes, worthless and obviously made-up statistics, and outright inaccuracies.

Again, I'm still new. I like to fit in.

So I've got this straight: No stunters, no homosexuals and no minorities, right?

You've got a lot of hate in your heart, Piz.

Did daddy not hug you enough?
