Bikers wear leather for two purposes; it looks cool and it helps to protect them in the event of a spill. Wear leather, from head to toe, a spine protector, body armour, gloves, boots, helmet and a face shield. Fire resistant equipment is a good idea too.
Training and Teamwork
If you are serious about being a stunt rider or performer, train with professionals. Join a stunt team or network with others who ride bikes and do tricks. There are many different clubs and teams that you can join and tour with, from amateurs to professionals.
Practice makes Perfect
Practice in the dirt or grass; if you should take a spill it won't hurt as much as the pavement. Work with a friend or partner; never practice alone, in case you should injure yourself and need assistance. Be sure to plan your stunt well and practice before attempting the real thing in front of an audience. Know the type of terrain and props that work for your stunt and create the right effect to thrill your audience.
Stunt riding is a sport and a form of entertainment. If you choose this as your career or hobby, it is important to have the proper equipment for your body as well as for you bike. You will need to customize your bike with proper tires, lightweight fenders, air-filters, engine parts, and more.
