HUGE back sprockets must make the bikes a bit more tractable for these stunts.

I thought they were mexican or some shit.
Either way, its pretty sweet what they do, I reckon anyway.
I'd love to go to a show like that.

Here's a dude from Japan doing it...
He's awesome. I love the way he transitions straight from a stoppie in to a mono.
I'd want one of those crash bars(?) or whatever they are fitted before I even attempt a simple wheelie or stoppie. If they're even possible on a 250!

Look at the pic on this page...

The rear sprocket is massive.
What does this do to the bike?
Check out the very first stunt in this video, nice!

the larger the rear sprocket, the lower the top speed, so the bike makes the same power but accelerates faster, hence good for stunting as you need less effort to make the bike jump up!
