New Bike: A better way to learn?

[Super Otaku]

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine told me a that a faster way to learn stunts/techniques on a bike is to have a good bike. I used to find that funny, but now I think back, it is true afterall. Good bikes have better frame design and better parts for performance. So I just wanted to know what you guys think of it.

Thanks.

New bikes give you a moral boost and they are usually lighter and more comfortable so it is easyer. but a bike class would really help you...

Starting on an old clunky bike is a great way to build you up before stepping up to some uber-wheels. Pedal a 50 pounder around for a few months and then get yourself a nice bike. You'll be glad you did since you wont suffer as much.

Yeah, I used to fell very good and comfortable on my Hardrock. Now, I just fell that I need more brake power. Hope I have enough money for the P.2 next year.........

Falling is the best way to learn, no matter what you fall off

As far as stunts go, you shouldn't start learning on anything you can't afford to break.
