.::First Thing First::.

First of all, i would like to recommend a few things to add on your bike before you learn some stunt.The reason is to protect your bike and helping you in learning some stunt.



  1. Steering Damper: A steering damper, steering stabiliser or sprint damper is a damping device designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement or oscillation of a motorcycle steering mechanism (a phenomenon known in the motorcycling community as 'wobble', or in extreme cases, a 'tank-slapper'). This things is usefull while try to learn the basic stoppie, because it keep your handle straight with out use to much enegry just to keep the handle straight while doing stoppie. Other than that, if you come down from a wheelie with the front wheel crooked, it could save the bike from tank slapper.




  2. Cage: A cage, stunt cage, crash cage or bike cage provide is a device that protect the side of your bike.In the process of learning to ride wheelies good, you will most likely drop your bike. Crash cages provide the best protection. All of these cages will most likely save you a lot of money if you crash, but none of them will completely protect your bike in every crash.




  3. 12 bar: These bars are meant to scrape the ground in place of the exhaust or tail section. Furthermore, with the introduction of the 12 bar came an array of bar tricks which all occur while the motorcycle is resting on the bar itself.one other similar device is a round bar, works on the same principle as a 12 bar as far as scraping the bar instead of the tail section or exhaust, but with one difference: The round bar is just that, it’s a curved bar that hugs the contour of the motorcycle tail section, with no flat sections.
