I would advise against it. My friend got caught once for doing a similar stunt and he got his license revoked for a year and his insurance premiums went up quite a bit too. Course he was stupid enough to keep on doing donuts on the field even as we were trying to signal him to stop cause the man was waiting for him at the other end of the field....

ha.......... it ain't like it used to be. when I was a teenager, two things stick out in memory. The high school I went to had two levels. There were concrete stairs with about a 50 ft elevvation change. During the summer, I'd take my dirt bike over to the school and jump it down the stairs. It wasn't a good thing to jump far enough to clear all of the stairs.......... it hurt. BUT, I'd do it a number of times then go home. Never saw a cop.
Another time........... I'd just got my bike running and I was riding this big long wheelie all the way up a street (that fronted the high school) (I lived across the street from the hs). As I was cruzing along on my back wheel, I saw a cop pull up to a stop sign ahead, he saw me, he came towards me fast, I let the wheel down and came to a stop as he came to a stop. He asked me what I was doing and I told him I just got my engine running and I was testing it out. He said I shouldn't be riding it on the street, and then he said have a nice day. I was blown away.
