Motorcycle stunt riding

Stunters perform motorcycle stunts on motor bikes, both on public roads and in private venues.

In this stunt, one or more riders enter a steel banded sphere through a trap door and begin circling.

The centripetal force of accelerating along the curve allows the rider to eventually circle on any plane inside the sphere, including sideways and upside-down.

Towards the mid 90s, modern stunt riding began to gain traction as riders would take these antics to the highway.

It was extremely controversial with many news outlets reporting on it and local police in different areas realizing it may be a problem that will be difficult to address.

First introduced in the year 2000 and held at the Lakeland drag strip in Florida, it allowed competition and organized stunt riding to become more widespread.

Many private properties with any sort of asphalt paving down large enough, often have trespass orders for anyone who is on site after hours.

Since takeovers and drifting have become an issue throughout the United States, police have also had (even though its nearly dead) motorcycle stunt riding on their radar to enforce heavy fines against.

Even more difficult is a circle wheelie with the rider's right foot on the left peg, which is called a "Ralph Loui".

The motorcycle is pulled so far back beyond the balance point of the wheel that the rider must constantly ride the rear brake to keep his machine from falling over backwards, causing him to slow down.

Cytrix, a display team formed by members of the White Helmets at the end of World War II, toured for 20 years up to 1967.

The four consistent members of the team were Basil Shelbourne, Ted Way, Jet Jones and Neil Hack.
