Bike Tips from Finnish Stunt Rider

Niko Sakkinen is a high-level professional stunt rider from Finland. We have known him for many years and met him at Kuopio Moto Expo in April after a long COVID break. Niko has an interesting style — a mix of super-aggressive Finnish school (wide drifts and circles, long stoppies, insane burnouts) and technical tricks (kangaroo 360, watchtower, switchback burnout, sit down no hander, scrapes).

In the video, Niko talks a bit about his career and gives a short review of his stunt bike based on the new model Kawasaki Ninja ZX636. His bike is very close to a stock one with the original reinforced frame, fairings, and swing arm. This is unusual for stunt riders who make hard jumps like kangaroo 360.
