Death Valley comes to mind.


Might try the airport out in Mckinney. Thats where I would practice. There is some side roads that can be empty on the weekends. that was a couple of years ago though.

DFWstangs has taught me that the people who know the least about a certain subject are the ones who go on and on talking about it. :rolleyes:

Most stunter types have their own spots where they practice. They don't like to share because popularity kills the spot.

Think of it like the street races. When there was a new spot and only a handful of people knew about it the racing was good and the cops were few and far between.

Once the masses found out you got overcrowding that brought fights, drunks, drugs, guns, teens, idiots, and COPS.

Newbs ride higher speed wheelies that aren't lot friendly and more people/bikes are more likely to bring the cops. These higher speed wheelies put other riders in the lot in danger and take up "their" practice space/time. They are also more likely to crash/really get hurt. Lots of people + injuries = cops. Then the people that have been riding somewhere for months have to find a new spot.

Most stunters ride lots and not the streets. Guys who ride lots don't consider the riders riding highway wheelies on stock bikes stunters. The ignorant public does and this irritates the lot stunter guys because they get grouped in with them when bad shit happens. The lot guys who do ride the streets ride the lots A LOT more often. The lot guys are always the BP guys that have a lot of control. If you don't ride that doesn't mean shit to you, but someone that can speed up, or more importantly, slow down their wheelie is in MUCH more control than someone that needs to go 80 to maintain BP if they even can at all. While I'm sure they still go down on the streets it's generally the newb street rider that goes down on the highway and loops a wheelie.

A lot of you hate and talk shit over and over in the stunt related threads, but you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Seems to be the norm on dfwstangs these days for most threads not just bike stuff.

"I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about but I'm going to bitch about guns, pitbulls, illegals, negros, performance shops, the president, the war in iraq, and whatever else comes to mind because I make 200 grand/yr, with a credit score of 1K, had a 5.0 GPA at Harvard, and I drive a Mustang!"


I post on a lot of different boards and Mustangs and their owners are routinely bashed. I want to post things to defend Mustang enthusiasts, but to see some of the shit that gets posted on this board not only makes it hard to stand up for Mustang enthusiasts, it makes me want to join in on the bashing too.

I'm sure most do have their own spots.. some parking lots, some highways, some residental streets..

He stated he does not like to be at a place with a bunch of squids. "A squid is an irresponsible motorcyclist."

To me someone doing wheelies and anything else on a public road is an irresponsible motorcyclist. Therefore he shouldn't have a problem hanging out with his own kind. :D

You done? Because you're a little off. Most of the "bitching" I see is when pics are posted up of a 4 lane highway all blocked up by a dozen or more bikes so they can use it for their own personal stunt area. I personally haven't seen many, if any, pics of stunting in parking lots. There are 2 possible reasons for that: 1. there aren't any up on here, or 2. they were posted but didnt get any complaints, so the threads really didn't take off.

Bitching about parking lot stunting is fucking childish. Unless its during your business hours and you're trying to get a parking spot, why would you care?

Now bitching about having to go 40 down Central Expressway because some fuckasses decided to claim the highway as their own and be ignorant and disrespectful to every other driver on the road, well I have no sympathy for them when they eat it. Im sorry

Hell, i never fully examined the floor. It seems like decent concrete though - similar to a driveway. Just the size is x1000

edit: i've seen them doing classes for bikes there, so it can't be bad

I'm not off one bit. I spelled it out for you and you still don't have a clue. However, you did say it yourself in the line I bolded. Just because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about doesn't change what the reality is that I posted.

I would think on this site you can relate it to street racing. Think about what the street races were ACTUALLY like in industrial parks, then compare that to what the regular joe blow or the media thought/portrayed them to be. Kids weaving in and out of traffic racing each other for miles down the road in their shitbox and plowing into someone isn't what any car enthusiast would consider street racing. Just as stunters don't consider the guys on stock bikes riding a 70 mph stand up with little control a stunter.

See what I mean? You don't know what it's really like, the same way someone who has never been to an "organzied" street race cannot understand the difference between drag racing in an industrial park vs. chasing your friends down Preston at 120mph.

The only pics I've posted on here were 7ish years ago on a deserted back road, it's no longer deserted :(

It's where I learned to ride wheelies and do stoppies. It was nice, smooth, long, and empty.

I just moved back to the DFW area a couple weeks ago after being gone about 4yrs. Seems like EVERYWHERE has grown and finding an empty NICE area is hard to do.

Wow, you really are ignorant. You are arguing yet you have no point. You just go off rambling how street racing is bad. What the hell?

Here it is, in plain fucking english. Please try to understand...
Stuning in parking lots: Yes it may come off LIKE street racing in industrial parks (dont really see how, but alright...), but no matter what, it still keeps it in a semi-controlled environment.
Stunting on a highway: Pisses lots of people off because the stunters most of the time are inconsiderate. They block traffic to stunt however they please, or best case they weave in and out just to get to an open stretch to do a long stand-up.

Please explain to me in your fucked up logic how I am wrong, because I will just throw it back in your face and make you look like a complete fucking dumbass. I am not just rambling some bullshit because I heard it from a friend's friend. I have friends who ride, who stunt and who race. I've been on a "group ride" that turned into 3 blocked lanes on I-30 for miles. And guess what... I actually felt bad for what they were doing. I ended up leaving at the next stop because I don't like being a part of that bullshit.

But sure, keep on running your mouth thinking you have a fucking clue what you are even talking about. Its entertaining actually.

It's actually pretty funny having to read all this stupid shit.
Just because you may have been delayed up to one minute on a freeway.
I've wasted more time reading complaints then all DFWstangs members that were ever delayed combined.

Think of it this way - you get free entertainment!

But no , go on , get all pissed off and tell us all about it online.

You got it.
Everyone hates bobbles cause he does wheelies.
They really hate it when he posts pics of them on the freeway.
I like riding some whoolies occasionally , and I've thought about doing the lot thing but it's a bitch to have a bike setup for lot and street (like a +10 sprocket)
and it's a bitch to have to load up your bike all the time and find lots (dedicated lot bike)
any how I think bob's pretty funny. I'm convinced everyone wants to kick his ass cause he has red hair. j/k

beware though people on the street think it's pretty cool to see a wheelie, but then there's those assholes (in my experience about 1/20) that want to kill you.
like I say 95% are just gonna give you a thumbs up and point to their kids to 'watch that guy'

BUT THEN THEY'll be that guy that wants to kill you (probably in a mustang I guess)

You can tell it's THAT GUY because he'll look real iritated in the face when you pass him. like he's got something shoved far up his ass.

I'd agree with you , except that he is pretty bad ass.
He posted a vid of a seat stander he did several miles down 75
(i might add they weren't blocking the freeway)

so again what's wrong with taking one minute out of your life to get some free entertainment on your way to work?
I'll agree the freeway is a bad place for it, but 95% of people i 'ride a wheelie by' seems to enjoy it elsewhere.

I'm with Hobie, people just got nothing better to do on dfwstangs but bitch about being delayed. OR that they'll 'run them over' if they go down LOL
I tellin you , it's that 1/20 that get slowed down, then they just go murderous. :D

I'M the one arguing and without a point?

http://ganjataz.com/general-bollocks/images/by-GT/forum-shitz/pot-kettle-black.jpg

I'm not talking about street racing being bad at all. I was just trying to demonstrate that there is a difference between the lot stunters and the guys riding the highway on stock bikes. I thought that those examples would simply demonstrate the difference. I incorrectly assumed that if someone rode sportbikes and posted here that my simple explanation would make the difference clear. Sure there are those who crossover in the middle, but I prefer to depend on the rule rather than the exception.

I really don't understand what you're all pissy about. :confused:

True, but what is your point?

1 + 1 = 2. While that's true it is completely irrelevant to these posts.


Please explain to me in your fucked up logic how I am wrong, because I will just throw it back in your face and make you look like a complete fucking dumbass.

How you are wrong, I don't even know what you are talking about :confused:

Go ahead and throw it back in MY face and make ME look like a "complete fucking dumbass." :cool:

I am not just rambling some bullshit because I heard it from a friend's friend. I have friends who ride, who stunt and who race.

Hmm...I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but yeah, whatever you are saying, I'm sure it's right. I mean, you know people and stuff, you must be correct.



But sure, keep on running your mouth thinking you have a fucking clue what you are even talking about. Its entertaining actually.
