My control isn't quite to that standard - I think I'll practise those slides in the local car park. I don't enjoy the wheelies that much but that may because it reminds me of my own deficiencies (I blame it on age

)

The sliding I can do (spent too long riding bikes in fields - principal is the same, but more revs needed to slide). The wheelies & endo's I wont be trying on the SV anytime soon, mainly because of my fear of binning it.

Also, I don't do the slides these days, because I want to keep my bank manager friendly and tyres cost too much

Edit: After making this post I rode home, and decided to jet wash the SV because it was in serious need of a clean, and time didn't allow for anything else. Spent a few quid on a shampoo & wax & carefully jetted the bike. Set off out of the petrol station thinking "OK, brakes are going to be bad, wet, shampoo & wax..." Sat waiting for traffic to go by & started getting more & more frustrated when normally I would of just gone. So I decide "F' this" & went off half chaff. Lots of revs, slipping the clutch just after letting go of the front brake. Sliding fun! (I'm sure there's a top - dangerous - tip in there somewhere!)

One of these days I'm gonna go out, get myself a cheapy bike, tough leathers, and just bin it round a bit to learn to do this stuff so i don't go green every time I watch these

wow, ive never seen stunders so good before.

I think there's some terrific stuff on there. Very impressive

There's another video on there - 'brutal motorcycle crash' - horrible. Note that immediately after the smash the cars behind the one that caused the accident simply drove off.

Wheelies I can do in a straight line, but not to that standard at all.

Stoppies - ummm, no.

Sliding - Not on my shiny baba.

If I had a stunt bike, a legal spot and the time to practice, I'd probably be able to crack it.
