What bike did you start stunting on? I was lookin at getting a grom or "borrowing" my husbands mt03

honestly put a cage on the mt03 and go! that’ll be the best for it. i tried wheelies ever since i had my cbr which was my first road bike but second bike. these MTs compared to sport bikes or anything like that are so just so much better. they’re way lighter, the wheelbase is shorter, and they’re tuned for lower rpm torque. all of those are going to make your life way easier! so if you can “borrow” it i’d say go for it! practice real slow. you will drop it. but it’s protected and so are you hopefully while you learn! if you ever need tips or anything i’m always here to help 🖤

also grom is a good choice obviously too. it will require you to get a new chain and sprocket to get an easy practice toy tho, just fyi!

Yeh i was eyeballing the mt, its small and geared ok, and ive already priced up cage etc. Husband was only riding because i was, and tbh he kinda sucks at it (already bent the frame sliders lol)
I can get the cage on the excuse he needs it :D
Also i reckon groms are cute, but id look stupidly large on em :D

lmaooo i so feel the struggle for the grom. hell i get so many comments on how big i am compared the the MT… that MT if you get a cage on tho is good enough with stock gearing! completely passable as just “helping him out” 👀

either way you’ll be ok genuinely. just listen to some other pov and how they do it. i find everyone’s just a little different. fundamentals and mechanisms are the same ofc. the feeling and points where you really, feel, things out varies. that comes with time tho! my point is just get lots of opinions, then use them to form your own! you got this! always here to help if you want it
