So the people riding them make them a bad bike? A very logical and reasonable connection.

Some points to ponder.
- If this is your first time stunting, an open area with plenty of room to stop and maneuver is likely a good idea.
- When stunting, be sure you are competent at using all of the controls and are proficient at handling the bike.
- When attempting stunting, it's probably wise to start on something small and cheap. That way you can learn to handle the machine and repairs may not cost as much
- When learning how to stunt you may want to consider some protective gear. I know, I know, doing so will hurt your tough guy image down at the bar, but unless you're in the witness protection program, scrubbing off your finger prints regularly is probably not going to help you much.
- Finally, if you choose to ignore all of the above, do post the video your friend is shooting onto Youtube.
