Motorcycle Stuntriding Overview
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012
Motorcycle stunt riding has come a long way since the days of Evel Knievel. In the last 30 years, sport bikes have become lighter and more powerful and the range of tricks they can perform has grown. Along with these new, exciting tricks, the appeal and sponsorship of professional stunt riding has increased and so have the types of riders turning professional.
The Evolution of Stunting
Motorcycle stunt riding isn’t a new fad, although it has gotten a lot of attention in recent years. There’s something inherent in human psychology that thrives on the danger and skill involved in stunt riding. In fact, one of the pioneers of motorcycle stunting was Orren “Putt” Mossman, who toured the United States in the first half of the 20th century. Mossman’s early tricks included shooting helium balloons with a rifle while he rode and riding with a sack over his head.
Stunt Riding Today
Massive wheelies, burnouts and death-defying acrobatics have taken the place of Mossman’s early gimmicks, but the thrill remains. Stunt riding has gained an international community of fans, with competitions happening in the U.S. and abroad. The best riders receive sponsorships, generally from motorcycle and automotive outfits looking to advertise their products.
Even with sponsorships, however, stunt riding is still a sport which is more heart than dollar signs and this is what really attracts fans. Stunting is an exhibition of skill, which great riders spend hours honing every day. This sport still has no international rules, regulations or sanctions. Every competition holds the threat of medical injury, and it’s not a sport for the dilettante.
The appeal of the lone expert that holds skillfulness above financial reward attracts all types. Barriers have been broken down and sponsored female stunt riders like Jessica Maine show that there is room for everyone in professional stunt riding. Stunt riding is all about breaking perceived barriers, after all, and it makes sense that the most daring of either gender would be attracted to this burgeoning sport.

XDL 2012 Event Schedule news
Thursday, March 1st, 2012We have gotten some news on the 2012 XDL Event Schedule. Even though info has been very hard to get and harder to confirm, a tweet by the XDL Staff today has lead us to believe that something we heard about a month ago may be true.
It says “Our 2012 schedule is almost confirmed, but just fyi all event dates will be in June, July, August. RT and pass it on, thanks!” via @XDLShow
Back in January a little bird (not twitter) told us that the XDL schedule was being compacted into the late summer to accomodate a reality show filming schedule. And that the Monterey and Indianapolis Moto GP events would go on as usual. Obviously it is too late in the year for Daytona Bike Week and it would be too hot to go back to Scottsdale AZ during those months, so we can assume those events are out. We also know that the SuperSpeedway in Nashville was closed, so this seems to eliminate the usual May Nashville stop.
So with those things up in the air, we wonder if XDL may be going to some more northerly lattitudes and will XDL return to its home in LA? Well the economy has also forced the closure of the Irwindale Speedway, but The Queen Mary in Long Beach has undergone another ownership change and we are told that its parking lots are looking nice and fresh nowadays.
Make your assumptions folks, we have ours. As always check back for the latest info on the 2012 XDL Schedule here at Stuntride.com or on our Facebook and Twitter.
Adrenaline crew game for iphone and android phones
Friday, October 7th, 2011The guys at adrenaline crew have stepped up and produced a streetbike stunt game for iphone and android applications, heres the info. Check out our facebook page where we will be giving away a couple of free download codes for iphone users
Adrenaline Crew is known for their over the top drunken antics and over all sport bike demolition. Their DVD series is well known world wide but after the DVD industry lost its footing due to the economy and illegal bootlegging they had to make a quick change to capture the next “big thing”. Aside from there 2012 Helmet and glove line under the AC brand Kenny and the Crew decided to try their hand at the mobile app phenomenon that is sweeping the nation, no, make that the world. Kenny took the year off from touring with the Crew to learn how to program and develop a game for iPhone and Android devices. “It took almost a full year, but we finally have a product that we can ship you” he says, “Many updates, new moves to come though, its not like a DVD that when you ship it off to the presses your done, with apps you can continually mold your game to fit what your fans and friends want, it is truly awseome!”.
The object of the game is similar to that of the epic Road Rash series in that you race and can fight other riders for position. Where this takes it to the next level is when you hit people off, you can do stunts. Not just a wheelie or hand jester, we are talking full on highchair wheelies and endos, flamingos and even spreaders. As you play you can unlock more characters and as Kenny tells us, there will be a lot of familiar faces popping up, not just the Adrenaline Crew riders, as well weapons and cutting edge software that will let you use your own image to play as yourself!
With the AC boys always in the front of “whats hot” be sure to not only support their effort but be prepared for the future of gaming!
