Sounds like fun to watch but I wonder how many squids are going to hurt themselves after watching it?

Squid TV..... :roll:

I can't believe they tanked 2-Wheel Tuesday for this..... wait a second, yes I can. They have been chipping away at that show for a long time, (hey, it wasn't the best, but it was all they had that dealt with anything other than American Twins).... now Speed has gone all the way and has only 2 pavement based options..... Harley/chopper based stuff and stunter/squid based stuff.

I guess all us naked/standard/touring/racing type folks don't fit thier demographic..... :?

However, The Motocross Files is a very good show. It deals with the history of MX and the riders who made it..... it is doomed. The current crop of jump-crazed dirt riders ain't gonna get behind that.....

And that's too bad. :(

The speed channel was never that good in the first place. No loss.

I'm not so sure you should use the word squid so loosely :) People have been doing stunts on motorcycles pretty much since they were invented. Stunting is just now becoming mainstream... I don't see the difference between this and snowboarding, bungee jumping or even BMX 1/2 pipe ramping/freestyling. Many of these stunting "squids" are very skilled riders when it comes to the fundamentals of motorcycle riding also.

I'll definately give the new show a try, if only because it's not another "me too custom v-twin show-bike" show.
