and well other's that arnt shown on there i mean do they just buy a bike and practice or likeget taught professionally?

was just kinda wondering cos i fancy learning stuff like that.

and for when i do get a motorbike, what would be the best one to get?

Answer 1

Lots of practice and crashing! I would recommend starting with a small dirtbike (like an XR100). There are also some schools out there like On one wheel, and the Starboyz wheelie school to mention a couple.

Answer 2

you have to start on small bikes in order to do stunts like that and it depends on how long you have been riding and what you ride

Answer 3

Like the good dudes above say, PRACTICE PRACTICE & PRACTICE.

Its like first driving or riding. At first you are pants, then you get better.

Lets see how this goes.

Answer 4

for what bike u get i think matters on size and experience

Answer 5

I was one of those "Knievel Clones" from the 80's and 90's.

I'd be glad to answer any questions you have.

I also tend to get a bit "preachy" about changing ones mind on stunts whenever possible!

I've had a GREAT life from stunt work. Seen half the globe and made my million dollar mark, but I have 40 broken bones and titanium in my neck.  Lets talk!

Answer 6

PRACTICE, and even more PRACTICE. Like in any sport, to become comfortable in any dicipline, one must practice. It just isnt performed by luck. These people have probably crashed more trying the trick, than they have landing the trick....
