Guess you have figured out how to wheelie then ;)
Do you get paid to do this stuff, the camera work was good as well.

I enjoyed the dancing more than the stunting. I must have contracted a minor case of the ghey. :)

Blew engine on SV.
Cracked frame on GSXR 600.
That's it so far. :)

Don't get paid to do it yet. Everything was filmed by me and my mates, but it helps that we have a good camera.
Cheers for the comments. :)

Great stuff again Davido! I love the ball-crusher, you must have grippy shoes as I would have thought that would happen more often! One question; why are all your petrol tanks bashed in on the top?

I've been quite lucky with regards to slipping, but the main thing is being careful where you put your feet. Pegs and tail sections get really slippy in the wet so we put skateboard tape on them to prevent slipping. Stompgrip is also good for this, and it doesn't rip your jeans.
As for the tanks, you see where I jump from behind the bike and land on the tank? Without that dent I'd slip straight off as it would be like trying to land on a bowling ball rather than a platform.

i would like to get into playing again and getting my confidence up but im too scared to drop my sv lol get about 30mph acceleration then put your feet onto the seat still holding the bars then stand up and let go lean forward slightly when your standing. try it and let me know how you get on
Oh I know how to do it, i just can't stand up for more than two seconds with getting a mad wobble or bailing out.
Big respect for doing it though man. Although its not the 'hardest' trick, it takes some balls.
I am in utter utter awe. :smt038 I am still at the stage that getting on the bike and riding off the driveway scares the bejesus out of me :smt088

Watched a few of your clips, and as others have said, some cool stunts and the editing/camera work is pretty good too! :)
I also like the way you put in the odd f-up as it makes the video more entertaining. Seeing someone doing something perfectly only holds an audience so long ;)
I too wondered about the tanks, and wondered if they got dented in a flip. - I then read down the thread! Bearing in mind we now know it is an intentional dent, how did you actually put it in there without bashing a hole in it!? :scratch:
Oh and its good to see you are stunting in an abandoned industrial estate now, not the queens highway - much more responsible!! :smt041 Anyway, so I approve of where you do it now, but curious if you ever get the roz down there as .. well you are not supposed to be doing it are you ;)
I have messed about down my local industrial estate before and a couple of times now the roz have come down ... perhaps I am just unlucky. :cry:

You just beat the tank in with a hammer or your feet. You need to be careful not to get any creases or you'll split it. Then you build the back of the tank up with filler to get a nice lip on it to hold you in.
The police do come down very rarely, but we have permission so we're 100% legal there. I've even got some video somewhere of me doing circle wheelies about 2 metres in front of a cop car while they stood and watched.

Thank you. :)
I'm the one who lives in a pink house. I would repaint it, but its listed so can't really. Plus I kind of like it in a gay kinda way. :smt039
