That one will make you think twice before stunting esp on public roads. Watch the d00d doing a wheelie on the boulevard - no helmet - does in a guard rail (or does the guardrail do him in??) <<somehow manages to come away with just a seriously screwed up back.

Watch it - it's not that gruesome but it'll make you think.

With the re-emergence of naked bikes, one day soon, real men will be able to bring their motors out of the false shadows of molded plastic and show their motors to the world without fear of ridicule or shame.

I didn't realize you could get an SV650 airborne that easily LOL. That botched burnout launched that thing quite a distance without touching the ground LOL.

The gaurdrail one was pretty nasty. Of course if the gaurdrail was not there he would have gotten some serious air as he flew down a cliff.

Okay, to me the worst one was the stoppie with the GF on the back in a t-shirt and shorts with no helmet, that's just "procreating" stupid.

And the funniest was the guy running into the back of the truck, if you watch you can see his friend just shaking his head at him.

Personally, I'm keeping 2 wheels on the ground.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

best way to learn stunting is on a Trials bike.. practice low speed brakies, wheelies, balancing, feet on the seat, feet on the handlbars, feet in the air, supermans, etc. ..

one would never think Trials riding could be so much fun until you get on a 140lb motorcycle with a wickedly torque engine that revs RIGHT NOW and has traction on anything an everything when you run like 7 psi in the tires ... they bounce, bunny hop, wheelie, endo, spin, etc... and body english is everything... a totally cool sport...

for those who want to try something more wild, go with a motocrosser and be prepared for big time crashes too.. injuries make you humble... gives you time to think... thus as above trials bikes can be more fun and safer than MX bikes because you can bail big time and survive on a trials bike...

I enjoy watching stunters. They are definitely skilled, or at least some of them are. The more they crash, the fewer of them there will be. The only ones I have any pity for are the ones who don't do it on public streets or highways. But if they have the $$ to throw away, I say to go for it. :santa:

I have to agree with QuietMonkey. The good observed trials riders can do things with a motorcycle that should be physically impossible. These guys have so much control of their bikes that iit is scary. And speed is not the issue.

Everyone that wants to be very impressed should watch these folks!
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.

I don't want to see anyone mess up their bodies, but come on, doing a wheelie on the wrong side of the road without a helmet or anything? And he lived so I didn't get any more air out of the deal or anything. :twisted:
