that's cool, at least he isn't doing it on a public highway like some of those morans.

I agree, at least he isn't doing it on the highway. I'm a big fan of the stunt bike scene, I like to go to the STUNTWARS that is held every year at the Lakeland dragstrip. I have much respect for the riders that want to make stunting a legit sport. It's the fools that take it to the street though that are making it an uphill battle.

the level of control some of those guys have is impressive, in controlled areas.

Two weeks ago, a little squirrel decided to do a stoppie on 86th St on the north side of Indy in 4:00pm traffic. It went way bad, the gixer went over & he went off the planet for being stupid.

I thought I used to be a good moto crosser, and thought I was still a good mountain biker. But some guys like that are unbelievably talented.

Even in my prime, I'm certain I would not have wanted to go thru the injury prone learning curve. Love the dirt, asphalt still scares me. #-o

Amazing. =D>

Wait a second, you crashed a GSXR by hitting a squirrel? Damage report?

No, sorry. The 24 year-old, wannabe stuntman on a city street, in afternoon traffic, tried to do a nose-wheelie..... the bike went over. He died on the spot from a broken neck.

I'm all for stunting & racing & goofing off... but in places that are for that stuff. In Indy, we have almost a dozen motorsports venues, (within an hour from any point in the city), that are controlled, safe, staffed with medical, etc, in which to have fun. The street just ain't the place.

T.Low....asphalt, dirt, whatever. If you are going fast enough, water is like hitting concrete.
A guy I knew in highschool that raced motocross laid his bike down in loose sand and removed all the fingernails off his right hand...sanded those babies right off. He had been tuning his bike, and went for a short test ride...without his gloves. Darwin award?
