Default NYC riders - stunting/riding spots?

What's up fellas.

Relatively new to Brooklyn and haven't found any good places to stunt so far. Also been looking for some good backroads or canyons to ride..

Would kick down some beers at the very least for anyone willing to lend advice, or even just come rip around!

Appreciate it. Cheers

Usually a sportbike thing... be surprised to see that on a HD.

Wheelies, rolling burnouts, drifting, etc. Stunts performed on your bike that aren't in typical riding fashion.

Not exactly "backroads", but if you want a decent ride, get out of NYC, take the GW Brdige, go north on the Palisades Parkway and head toward Bear Mountain of Harriman State Park.

Don't be so surprised. HD stunt crews are popping up fast, and some really talented guys too.

East Coastin out of New Haven CT is one of the more popular. Check out some videos

I could see that on the Sportser's, Nightster's, and the Street's... If they can do it on a Busa or ZX14... even a Wing... yeah!
