    I'm only appaled at the fact the moron who edited the video mixed in Old MotoGP and Isle of Man footage.

    Stunters are 10 steps below racers, not even the same game boys and girls.

    Have to admit that they have gonzo skills. Hope they survive long enough to appreciate it.

    I guess if all you have is long straight roads to ride you have to get your kicks somehow.

    it is my belief that there is one level above the squid threshhold...it is the internet forum shit talker with the ultimate safety speak, all the best gear money can buy, a nicely blinged machine, been to all of the top schools, and still can't ride for shit. at least these guys can ride.

    I am still a squid...my tentacles are not nearly as long as they used to be, but they are still there. don't be hatin' on the stunta's.

    You have to keep in mind when your young you get back up and do it again unless it's a serious fug up. But the pain comes later in life, we rode hard in our teens, mostly off road but all types of riding and every crash I had back then that I thought I recovered from has come back to torture me later in life. So plan on early retirement or a job that doesn't require you show up every day, there's been weeks when I couldn't move due to back pain. Ya gotta pay to play.

    HATIN', STUNTA'S. Number one learn to spell, and number two most people have nothing against people doing stunts. Seems like everybody has a problem with people doing stunts on busy streets with innocent people around what happens when one of the idiots smashes somebody's car huh then is it sweet moron. I have absolute respect for people who can stunt when the do it on closed courses or in a parking lot where nobody is around. But when I see people doing it on one of the busiest streets in Youngstown where thousands of cars go up daily if I ever see one stop I would absolutely go say something to them and if they want to talk shit to me I'd probably knock them the hell out.But the problem with that is they'd probably sue me cause that's the kind of people those stunters are they would sue you at the drop of a hat if you touch there bike or them personally but when there out there acting like idiots making people swerve to miss them and messing up other peoples cars its all coo or how ever those uneducated morons say it. If they all died today the riding world would be a better place all our insurance rates would be so much cheaper and those of us who follow the laws wouldn't be pulled over for going 27 in a 25

    I just thought it was funny a guy got caught and ripped off bike by a cop or security guard. You think he could have given it a little gas?:vtr2:

    Mad skillz. I don't stunt, but I ride with dudes who do (just tonight infact; posted a video on here somewhere of one of the boys doing a 6 mile wheelie). I've seen them avoid accidents with amazing skill because they are so comfortable on and in control of their machines. I think it's major oversimplification to blame them for all the motorcycle industry's ills; that's like saying all Harley riders are outlaws, because a few are. Are some of these guys idiots who shouldn't be doing what they are doing where they are doing it? Sure. Are some of the 'normal' riders I see running around in their shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops, who can't take a corner faster than walking pace, also idiots who do a disservice to motorcycling? You bet.

    Enjoy the mad skillz and stop stereotyping; blame the idiots, all of em, not just the stunta's.

    I am not hating their skills, or doubting that they lack skills, however, what do you think it does for our cause to have people/families driving around in cars scared to death as they see bikes rip by them riding wheelies? Do you think the "average" person goes to their friends/neighbors/local government/congressman and say "dang, those bikers are so cool how they tailgate me, then rip by me riding a wheelie and doing burnouts as I swerve to miss them?" I would bet that many voice their displeasure as soon as they can. My own neighbors tell me about stories of stunters that pissed them off by doing risky things in traffic.

    By cause I mean the right to ride, and with less laws being made against us as a group. Look at denver, NY and other local communities that have made loud pipe laws because some people believe it is their god given right to have as loud of a pipe as possible. A few bad apples ruin it for every one.

    You should see in SoCal sometimes where stunters actually create a traffic break (swerving wildly from one side of the freeway to the other) so they can stunt. Yep, I am not making it up. That does wonders for motorcyclists as a whole.

    I love to watch some good wheelies, but at the right time and place. Preferably some empty roads. Ride on....

    (JMO) Let's not go all apeshit on people's spelling skills, or lack thereof. Next the criticism will be for grammar, punctuation, use of the proper tense, use of the wrong antonym, etc. I can understand just about everything that's posted, so that's good enough for me. If you want posters to spend all of their time getting it perfect, rather than just communicating the best they can, maybe you should join a Proper English forum. I'm just sayin'! Not trying to start a fight!
