i_like_sun Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 OMG... Dude, I've always wanted a crotch rocket, but jeeze that looks like an amazingly un-cool way to die... Quote
i_like_sun Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 The dude trying the backflip, then landing on his head is so nuts...... that whole "paralyzation thing" scares the shit outa me! Quote
kevbone Posted April 21, 2007 Author Posted April 21, 2007 Did you see the guy in the yellow gear come off his bike while hauling ass....but not come off completely? Then he some how got back on. That was crazy Quote
i_like_sun Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Oh yes. Also, gatta dig the idiot standing cross-leged on top of his bike, then falling off and (I think) snapping his ankle! That little video stressed me out..... Quote
kevbone Posted April 21, 2007 Author Posted April 21, 2007 That little video stressed me out..... Me too! Quote
Choada_Boy Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Ghost Rider's where it's at. Dude's got all screws loose. Here's some highlights: _XN88z_uCSs Quote
kevbone Posted April 22, 2007 Author Posted April 22, 2007 That dude does have loose screws. That is crazy. Quote
spotly Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) I had a crotch rocket when I was younger. I'm lucky to be older. Speed is like a drug and I've been clean for 20 years now Funny - that's how long I've been married for too. Wonder if there's a corrolation!? Cool videos though.

Bigtree Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I can relate Spotly. The fastest technology of the day took me on my last street bike (before I moved to dirt on a KX500 2-stroke that constantly hurt me every time I touched the beast) was 245 km/hr on an old 1980 Kawasaki Z1R. Here's some more eye candy - 300 km/hr on the autobahn... 6JvhtB8Jiys or how about a 200 km/hr extended power wheelie en route to 300 km/hr... aE5PhDsW7SE Quote
ilookeddown Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I like peddle power and it's local. c9JfN1QgSek Quote
billcoe Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 My wife just ran her motorcycle up onto the curb the other day barely missing the neighbors cars. She's still learning. I don't want to show her those images. Quote
kevino Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 That was some sweet footage. I like peddle power and it's local. Quote
high_on_rock Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Anyone can be an idiot and ride a motorcycle fast in traffic; that is just showing the willingness to die and put other's lives in danger. It is those crazy folks on mt bikes that are amazing. True comitment on some of those jumps, and the only life they are risking is their own. I will stick to safer sports like unroped solo climbing and leave the mt biking to crazy f'rs with a death wish. I truly admire watching their sport, but I am far too chickenchit to do it myself.

high_on_rock Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Wow, you look at the skill it takes to pull off the mt bike ride in the video; then you watch ESPN and they show someong getting thrown out at second base as the sports highlight of the day. Mainstream sports media is missing the boat. Quote

i_like_sun Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 This isn't a motorcyle....... but it is still dangerous, fun, and purely addicting! Quote
Farva Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 OMG... Dude, I've always wanted a crotch rocket, but jeeze that looks like an amazingly un-cool way to die... Heh heh-that's what riders say about climbers freezing to death. Quote
kevbone Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 Heh heh-that's what riders say about climbers freezing to death. Well said. Quote
kevbone Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Is is me or do the plants in back look like pot plants? Not that I know what they look like! Edited April 23, 2007 by kevbone Quote
i_like_sun Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Yes, yes they are....... just don't tell anyone! Quote
