I love watching top notch skill and talent in any sport but for me bikes is where it's AT!! When you where a child why did you walk on the top of the wall not next to it? Why did you jump the gaps in the pavement? Because you could and it stretched your limits and its fun. I watched a moto trials TV show called Kick Start on after school that got me hooked on bikes but I only had push bikes to play on at the time. At 15 a friend took me on the back of a Super Tenere 750 Dakar thing and I loved it! He sold me and my brother a GT250 old thing, I just got on it and I could ride... then got a nasty CB125 and did pizza delivery on a C90. It was a very steep learning curve as there was no CBT in those days - nuts but fun. Then a 250 Honda, a RD125 then... 650Kat / GSX750 / GT250 / 650Kat / RD350 / GSXR1100 / a year off from bikes travelling / XL500/ GSXR1100 / 2 years off / GSXR750 / GSXR750 / 2 years off again then / CBR600 / Bandit 600 / GPX600 / and now my trusty CBR600F4i serves me well. I have always wheelied and stuff but seeing a free video from Superbikes mag of Big Dave Sonsky who had/has close ties to the Starboyz opened my eyes to extreme Bike control. He was doing mad things on a black blade so I went out and tried it but had no one to ride with and always seemed to be 2 up. Passengers freak out for some reason.. When visiting the Ace Cafe for the first time on street fighters day, I saw first hand in the flesh the compelling art of stunt riding. A stunt team were doing a show and as I watched I found myself reading and understanding the tricks and just 1 year later with blood, sweat and tears I was in the same show with the team. I still currently ride my CBR600f4i of which I have now steered my riding abilities to a much more professional angle. Here, Stunt Starz was born. With the ability to ride to a high level, draw and create, I realised it was time to start something new. It's great having the ability but without direction and drive, there is nothing. Our team has created something powerful of which I am very proud to be part of. 'Learnt in fun, protected in fear' 'Control your bike before it controls you' "Try, try and try again" "It's an art form that needs exploring and as such has a widening audience who in turn feed their very own curiosity."
