dude don't put shaun white and JB in the same sentence. not even close shaun is where he is at cause he is the best at his sport and wins pretty much everything.
JB was at the right place at the right time. not knocking on his skills cause i give him big props for working hard and putting in the time to get where he is, but he is not even close to the best at his sport. I don't think he could even win the AFS comps.
My opinion of the show was it was pretty boring but thats from a riders view point. not many difficult trick and when JB made a comment about not wanting to risk hurting himself or the bikes that was kinda stupid. thats what its all about.
the thing that bothered me the most was playing on the fact of "riders willing to risk it all" that BS. your spots are 90% of the time if not all the time allowed by the police.
Last i think a better show would be traveling around the country looking for up and coming riders. there are plenty of places to go and after riding with everyone at yo face you will have plenty of diverse riders from everywhere that will kill it for the camera. you should catch some footage from yo face im sure at least the wrecks would take peoples breath away. i know the switch back jump took mine 
anyways congrats on the show JB but dont just focus on yourself your show will get boring super fast. 
why dont you make an episode a stop in b-town or at one of the xdl events

Great job guys! Once I let go of my expectations of what I thought it would be I really enjoyed it. Great riding and great editing. A lot of people are up in arms because you guys didn't just murder the streets everywhere where I actually like that you guys showed the cops in different areas. Made it look a lot more legit. Honestly I kind of agree that they should have just portrayed it what it is but I totally understand that that wont draw in the masses for TV ratings. People like thedanger and whatnot, hence them still airing COPS shows from like 1991.
That being said, Tony great job on your posts and dear lord those knee drags were SICK.
Wish they would have shown the clip from yellow and Josh's interview, the preview from that spot looked pretty badass. I had the same reaction as JB did when we first went there to ride, lol.

Just a heads up I do not choose the focus or spotlight trust me I am the first one to tell the guys "hey go do an interview" and as for the risking it all that is Hollywood build up or drama, as for facts we have to ride every week for 6months to complete a season along with 38 stuntshows on our schedule so we are risking it all in a way as this is how all 3 of us make our living and for the breat taking crashes there were some pretty incredible crashes that were. Not shown one particular crash that I asked not to show was Borne crashing a he pushed the front end on a stoppie and went into the crowd and almost took people out that were watching, he was pretty upset about it and it would have made things look bad from a public viewer perspective either way we have to do as we are directed to do once we arrive at our locations and that's exactly what we do, thanks for the input I will pass it on.
JB

Very well put! Theatrics of the show aside it's amazing that you guys get the opportunity to ride at those places and we get to watch! I NEVER would have expected to see those places in a freestyle video ever, let alone with the quality of filming you guys use.

I could go on about the show, but bottom line is its a series on national TV pushing our sport more mainstream. Yeah shots are setup, big deal. Seems they are doing just enough legally to get away with filming on the streets...otherwise Im sure it would be an Epic Fail!!!
Props the Jason and his crew!!!
PS. My only complaint is the voice over...I guess it fits for the Stealth Rider name. Sort of reminded me of the Untouchables DVD.
Cant wait for the XDL Show to drop on Versus this fall.

Also, they are the ones on TV and this helps the industry of stuntriding
to be seen by the public. Public might say "wow, this is cool. Let's have/
make their own legal park".

I have a vision and mine is the same as yours!!!!

There will ALWAYS be haters. Some of you didn't like superbikes because there wasn't any street stunting in it n too much talking. Now there's more riding and some cool scenic street riding weather it's legitimate or not it's in there and you still complain. It's television n not everything is real. If the network wanted a reality show and they followed somebody around and there was no drama or suspense then it's not worth anything. People feed off of drama. We obviously cannot go around terrorizing streets and causing problems. We would have no
Bikes, no liscences, no bus, no money and ruin the reputation we have built. The idea is to ride in awesome locations, tourist areas.. By doing this we broaden the audience of sport bike freestyle. It reaches a whole new demographic of people that may not be motorcycle enthusiast. This grows the sport for everyone to benefit. If your a street killing parking lot murderer then cool, more power to you if that's how you want to ride but growing the sport in these ways gives you guys an opportunity to get out to a local dealership and make a few extra dollars on a weekend and get some exposure. Television is the biggest key to all the doors this sport needs. People like Thomas and Randy Grube and all the pro riders that are doing shows and competing in a professional manner are bringing positive things to our so called "Sport" so the show may be weak to some of you and I may sound like a jerk but if your anybody that doesn't appreciate it than you'll never go far in this industry. But if you had the opportunity to be on it then it would be the coolest show on tv right?
Well I wanna be one of those guys that can say I helped push the sport in a positive direction. If you don't want to contribute that's up to you and if you don't like the show then that's fine to, you don't have to watch it.. But if it's "better" than superbikes then 2+ million other people will be watching it every week.
And next time you approach a sponsor or company of some sort n tell them you do sport bike freestyle riding and they say "oh like those guys on the Speed Channel?" don't get pissed just use it to your advantage. There's a reason they already know about what we do. I'm not saying that we are it but I can say that we have contributed.

Tony, I <3 watching you at the Team No Limit Stunt Shows!!! You DER it brother and I'm so glad that you and Jason & Eric are doing the new show. Watched Super Bikes and will watch every single episode of Stealth Riders. I want to thank you guys for helping the sport of stunt riding and believe you doing this is helping get the sport of stuntriding legitimized.
Ooooooooh yea Tony,,,,, can not talk to you without mentioning the endo to the back of the truck and shutting the tailgate!!!!! Fuck'n DER son!!!!!!

the only thing i didnt like is that they only mentioned tony and erics name twice in two eps and they didnt even mention borne once.
having the roads blocked off and the cops in the background is to be expected. its a freakin big budget TV show on a major cable network, get over it folks. it would have been way more shady if they hadnt shown then cops and tried to act like it was all illegal.
all in all it is more exposure for the sport and i can say as a stunt rider for years that i am proud of people like eric, tony, britton, thomas, teach, bill D, big scott, and all the other pros that compete, do shows, and help the sport progress.

Right on bro and I agree!!!!

I am happy with the continued growth of the sport and stoked to see it have a presence at X Games congrats to all involved I feel it is a great achievement and I feel confident the sport will continue to move forward.
I know that I intend on being around the sport for a long time to come and feel honored to be able to make a living out of a dream and a passion.
I don't feel the need to ask anyone to like me just to not form an opinion of me if you don't know me because I know I get along with almost everyone that I meet in this industry just based on the fact that most of us have the same passion in common.
Sorry for the long rant

Keep doing your thing, man!! You're livin the dream!
....and I'm sure you know a LOT of us on these forums still look up to you.
