Stunt Bike Setup: Honda CRF-70

Americans always say "the bigger the better" but when it comes to beginning to stunt, sometimes that's not always true. Starting small is not only much cheaper, it's pretty effective. Many of the European pro's started on 50cc's and worked their way up - most of their skills transferring to the big bikes.

Darren from Ireland rides alone (in his driveway, to be specific), but has been rocking out and aspires to step it up to a bigger bike soon.  In just the first year of riding, with only a small investment, he's working on all kinds of circles and most importantly, having fun! Check his advice for setting up a Honda CRF-70 stunt bike.

Darren on bike setup:  For me the top 3 parts are essential for beginners and are relatively cheap. All parts can be bought at 50stunt.com,easy to install with instructional videos from the owner, Ryan Moore.

How to get started and where to ride: I got into stunt riding after watching a stunt show performed by Mattie Griffin in my local area. I learned tricks from watching other riders on YouTube and then practicing them for myself. As I am the only rider in my area it is hard to find a good stunt spot and other riders to stunt with.

Moving up to a bigger bike: In the next 2 yrs I plan to move up to a CBR 125 and then to a Kawasaki 636, I plan to go to Stunt Ireland meetings and take part in their future planned competitions.
