Default How do you learn to be a stunt rider?

Looks like you can get the training to be a stunt rider now.

Who is going to be the first to sign up? Wish I were younger. I might try it.

I'd give it a shot if I could wear my fingerless gloves and assless chaps during the training.

You try all those things that they say "do not attempt at home."

Got to have the right bike that's set up for it first. They have good stunt forums where you can talk to and meet a lot guys who are very good. Lots of stuff on youtube too. But to answer your question; how to be a stunt rider? You need to crash and drop your bike a lot, and keep on doing it. Buy a crash cage for whatever bike you'll use.

Google Jason Pullen, It would be great to ride like him, but I bet lots of practice and lots of crashes.

If you have to ask you haven't got what it takes. Those guys didn't go to school to learn to ride.

Just keep doing it until you don't hurt yourself any more. Then you know you're a good stunter.
