Stunt Riding Heading Mainstream?

[SkiBum5.0]

I've always thought this subculture was dangerous and stupid (on the street). Had no idea it was gaining momentum in an organized fashion. Seems they have sponsors, venues etc and I like the idea there is an outlet to remove this from the street.

Do you guys view this like drifting in the auto world? Do you see a place for this in Calgary to help remove some of the stigma from stunt riding?

I think drifting had a similar start in NA, and have moved into a legitimate form of motorsports through a set of "series" like this one.

fack, anyone know why I can't post an imbedded video?

I Pressed "Youtube" button --> Inserted URL for Youtube Vid and get nothing.

This is the link and any help would be appreciated as I have the same issues imbedding IMG's.

Fixed for you. Just include the bit after "v=" in the YT link. Images should work the way you were doing it though.

Depends what you consider mainstream.

Stunt riding been mainstream for the last 10 years, there used to be some crew named hot boyz or something stupid like that that made it popular.
