hey whitey, welcome to the site. Sweet! Another Canberran stunter :D

Best bet (i reckon) is to come up to StuntSkills at Oran Park on Jan 25th. There is usually a few of us that drive up there from Canberra in a big convoy including Bender, myself, Taz, and there have been other people join us before including one other bloke on a trials bike.
StuntSkills caters from full beginners to pro's and there is always a real mix of not only skill but bikes too including dirt bikes, fifty's, full fairing commuters, dedicated stunt bikes and even posties. Lunch is provided, and you can ride as much or as little as you want all day for $120 if you book early. Cheap as compared to a track day at Eastern Creek which is $200 for 5 x 20min sessions if you're lucky.

Anyway, it's always an awesome day and super safe. There is more info on the website about it - http://cunningstunts.com/events.shtml#StuntSkills

Hope to see you there.
Cheers
Ben

All good info on stuntskills, definately the place to go for this!

Had to say it though a trakday is only just in the last few weeks gone up from 175 to 191 (yeh odd number, very weird) and includes lunch but the reasons why, is if you used EC for stunting it would cost ALOT more, OP for track days is only 130/day and whilst I sort of agree on the 'riding' time you'll get 5 if really unlucky or wet and if you only ride in one group. Ride in 2 groups and you'll get 8-12 sessions, bet you can't even do 8 before ya stuffed trust me! :D

Welcome to the site!

Yeah cotter is hella dodgy, I have a couple of places I ride but I won't be posting about them on here. Stuntskills is one of the only organised riding events in the country where you can do this sorta thing legally.

I have a couple of spots to ride but they are really only for slow wheelies and they won't allow me to do burnouts at either of the locations.

We are up in Sydney this weekend for Powercruise, Give me a buzz next week on 0414 635 617 we can have a chat see what we can work out.


Cheers, Bender.

those rocks dont move when you come flying thru on your bike, hey whitey? :roll: I smacked my 04 GSXR1000 into one on Brindabella Road and put a hole in the engine block. Wasn't pretty! Technically i didnt crash either cos i stayed on the bike - I just rode it like i was riding my ex (a shit root cos she just bounces all over the place HAHA) :D
