Can't wait to see how much shit gets stolen to pay for theater tickets ... oh wait who needs a ticket ...
I said "Wow! You are displaying a ton of skill there! Wheelies make people smile, and I think you just made a bunch of people smile their asses off. Where did you learn to wheelie like that?"
"I learned from riding motorcycles, and it transfers over pretty well."
He may be in that movie!
I bet you see stuff in that movie that people on this board, who have ridden for YEARS, could never come close to.
But those guys are probably better riders than me
I do believe that the “skills” that are learned and displayed, with minimal time on a bike, would be indicative of how their skill set would grow, given time on a bike, and proper places to ride.
Two strokes are cheap. They are probably picking those things up for $500, and ride them on the streets because they can, and that is the only place they have.
You have ridden all your life, and cant wheelie for shit. Those kids have probably no more than 100 hours on a bike, and they are showing skills that you have not been able to hone in a lifetime of riding.
If Rogers DeCoster was asked to choose one rider, and groom them for one race, who does he pick? Somebody who has shown their skill set to have been maxed out, or someone who’s talent has only scratched the surface?
LOL, you don't follow the used bike market very closely do you? I can assure you they aren't "finding" $500 running 2-strokes anywhere. Not even close.
These guys literally ride up and down the street practicing wheelies all day long. That is the one thing they practice. They don't practice starts, jumping, turns, straight speed, breaking bumps, trees, logs, hills, rocks, etc.
FYI, Roger would think you're very unintelligent. Do you honestly think every one of these street riders is better than say, Ryan Dungey, because they can most definitely wheelie better than him? I guarantee you Dungey can't do the wheelies some of them are pulling off.
Your logic is dumb. Really, really dumb actually. Even if I was "shitfaced" I don't think I could say or believe something so dumb.
Pit Row
It also pertains to basketball, football, baseball, and most other sports.
When you cannot make the team, you find something else to do.
Off-road motorcycles cost more than a basketball.
A lot of kids cannot even afford a basketball.
But once they get one?
Same logic applies to an off-road motorcycle.
I brought up the cheap prices of used 2-stroke motorcycles because price is a "barrier of entry" to this sport.
Not only do you need a truck, the bike, gas money, you also need to pay gate fees, or have off-road areas to ride.
ALL of those are pretty hard to come by for a poor kid in the middle of Cleveland.
So what do they do? Pick up a cheap bike off Craigslist, and run it up and down the street.
And in about 1 week, they show wheelie skills that people who have ridden for 20 years cannot match.
That should be indicative of POTENTIAL.
And that is why Roger DeCoster would pick the guy who's talent is only STARTING to blossom.
Then your hands must be calloused from swinging on the monkey bars. Nice work, though. You actually had me going for a minute, then I thought, "nobody could be this dumb".
Alta should build an inner city all electric track. Sponsor some of these guys, that would be an industry game changer.
"They are probably picking those things up for $500"
You have confused "probably" with "theoretically possible".
I REALLY hope you are trolling.
