Danny Kearns Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hey everybody, i have just being watching a fair few videos and i was wondering what you all thought on average who has the better riders "mod or stock".This is all going to be personal opinion really, so please no arguing please.

Biff... Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) Kind of pointless really, theres just as many good mod riders as stock. Edited May 22, 2006 by Kyle Hinchcliffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I dont really think so cause you have posbably more mod riders than stock or more stock riders than mod.?Opinions please, dont question the topic.Cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think stock wins because i ride it and i wouldn't big up a mod bike if i didn't ride it . Things on stock are generally bigger as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benito Ros and CLS say "No" Having said that, I did find it a shitload easier to gap and tap on stocks than on my mod, and sidehops for a time as well, so there may be some logic in there. I guess you can tap higher on a stock, but mods are good for short run-up bunnyhops, a la Benito. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other I suppose.

IMO it's not what kind of bikeyou ride but the rider. Ifyou have the mentality that I can go further because I am on mod you probably will. Alot of trials is your mindset. To be honest I just ride what I feel more confident on which is a mod, that makes me ride better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike addict Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 To settle all this jiff jaff, why don't we all go on ebay and see how many stocks are for sale and how many mods are for sale, compare the two, and give the most popular one a medal and some cake.

liam-pantera Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Speaking from experience i like mods to go big cause u can push them really hard ,but for tecnical you cant beat the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 mod are genrally better for sidehops,stocks are genrally better for tapsPretty much agree with that. I admire the people who can do the opposite of those. I have no idea how tunni can sidehop such a tank that high. Mod's are pretty explosive when it comes to moves too. I've found that rolling moves on a mod look a bit silly and probably aren't as smooth as a stockBut as above, there are always those who bend the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Geary Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=...mod&word2=stockgoogle fight doesnt lie. I prefer stock over mods, not saying that becuase i ride stock it's just when i ride a mod i don't feel like i would feel on stock.I dunno , i wouldent mind a mod aswell as a stock though.

Pauly Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 ye it will just be personal oppinionmod are genrally better for sidehops,stocks are genrally better for tapsi LOVE! stockbut of course otheres love mod!iolo.i would totally agree with you there the way i see it you are open to more things on stock the bikes may be heavyer but you are open to a wide range of riding from a personaly point of veiw on mods the main move is sidehops and mainly bunnyhops where as stock you have bunnyhops, taps, gaps, spins, front wheel moves ... stuff liek that ... also i have a lot of respect for the people who match mod rider limits on a stock even whne its alot harder..Pauly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I found gapping and upping was a shitload easier on stock? Try tapping 50" on a mod then on a stock. I found one a lot easier than another. The first time I tapped Luke's Levelboss was amazing, it just felt so effortless compared to pedalling up stuff on a mod. Equally, doing gaps just felt easier 'cos the bike was longer so you could throw into it more, plus place the back end further out. Sidehops felt easier to front too, just 'cos of the length of it.Talking about how on "stock you have bunnyhops, taps, gaps, spins, front wheel moves" - those are all done by mod riders too? Mods feel spinnier than stocks for a start, in fairness, but people do front wheel moves all the time on mods too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 yeh i can see where your comeing from i realy couldnt justify tapping 50 inch on a mod i can barely make it on my stock tanking in to the wall, i find that yeh you can do all the stuff on a mod but from my point of veiw it all seems alot harder to do like you said spins but it seems alot harder do spin because of the huge rear tyre.. meh i dont know im not makeing sense hehe.Pauly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google fight is clear on which one is better . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
