very sick, i've seen this about 5 times now.

[ACZakka325i]

Looks like a bunch of asshole to me. Cool tricks I guess.

[Razzy]

guy in full leathers and on the GSXR is pretty much the only one whos wearing proper gear. the rest are all squids. I personally don't think they should be doing it on the street.

[aut0sh0cker]

AWESOME! but I still wouldn't even think about doing stuff like that without full gear on...

[sokdo]

atleast they had motocross helmets

[Alex@AKMotorwerk]

Video was done well.... guy in the beginning in full leathers was doing old school tricks.

Those guys you are calling "squids" are doing some very difficult and technical tricks. They have more control of that motorcycle than anyone you've probably ever seen ride

Amazing what can be done with a heavy piece of machinery, skills, practice and a set of balls

[Garduna]

Cool vid to watch but I don't care how much skill they got, doing that shit on open street with motor vehicles around is dangerous. There's always that once chance a screwup can happen.

Hot chicks always helps lol

[Deda]

very stupid,but girls are good looking.

I presume you don't ride. Those stunts/tricks take alot of skill, but that is a "different" type of skill. if those guys bought motorcycles to stunt on then take to a place where it is safe to do so, not on the street. skill on a motorcycle actually has to do with your technique, riding ability, reaction to emergency situations, and overall riding experience/competence.

Look up some videos of MOTOGP and you will get a jist of what actual skill is.

[Turbo>NA]

Sick video, but the end was gay.

[cyphr]

the video was well put together, although I'm still firmly against stunting on the street.

Your lack of comprehension amazes me. I never said stunting does not take skill. I also did not say there is only one type of skill. Stunting takes skill etc but doing it on the street is absolutely irresponsible. Its like saying it takes alot of skill to shoot a weapon, so shooting it on the street is fine. Stunting takes skill, but they should keep it off public road, and no that isn't my opinion, its fact. Anyone who denies the fact that it is stupid to stunt on the street has their head shoved up there ass too far.

I should practice with fire arms openly as it excercises my competency with fire arms. The best way to practice you emergency braking/emergency maneuvers etc is to do them in the parking lot, not stunting on the street where people are going about there lives. Your logic seems to amaze me.

[OBI_agent]

I have the same bike(Blue and white GSX-R)..lol.

BTW, no matter how skilled those guys are, they shouldn't do it on public roads.

I think that since you are a new rider you feel you know everything but you don't... I'm just not going to respond and argue over the internet. Ride safe!
Btw, why did you double post... there is a multi-quote function...

I don't know everything, I realize you have your oponion but lets face it, doing stunts on public roads is not a good way of "excercising" your skills. Your right, there is no point in argueing over the internet. I just thought no one would ever try and justify doing stunts on the street is "OK". I'm not the only one who thinks stunting on streets is wrong.

[Buegie]

well put together video but the stunts weren't anything spectacular, I've seen better stuff over the years

[montreal red]

cool vid!! i personally would never do such things on the street... NOT because i think they are idiots but mostly because i dont have the balls!!

Did i say anything about safety on the street? I said they have skills... more control than those dopey MOTOGP guys who just go around in circles on a track for hours. And for your information, i do ride and have for many years. I got so bored of riding, that i started stunting about 4-5 years ago and it's one of the toughest, yet rewarding things i've done on a sportbike. So get your head out of your ass and keep an open mind towards other types of riding... not just knee dragging

Thank you... most people don't know how much throttle control, brake control, body positioning and pure BALLS it takes to pull of seat stander/combo circle wheelies in traffic.

ignororance at its best. I never said it doesn't take skill.

you got bored of riding so you started stunting? stuntings fine but I outright dont accept of it on the street. Then again people will do what they want no matter what.

Stunting takes alot of skill, yet so does riding a sportbike like it should be ridden ex. manipulating the bike beneath you to master a corner.

[Kevin@AKMotorwerk]

you guys calling them "squids" obviously dont know what it takes to do them tricks, if you did you would know it takes all the skill that it would take on a track, including rear brake control, throttle control and balance, i have raced motocross, used to track my gsxr-750, and the hardest thing i have ever done was stunt my gsxr, you guys preach about safety but are the same guys doing 140 + in your bmw's on the streets or on your bikes, but because its not what YOU do its not cool or ok.

"how it should be ridden"?? Who's to say how it should be ridden? U cause ur the leather police? To me, a motorcycle should be ridden on 1 wheel. Don't knock something cause u can't do it. Just because you've been riding for 30 years or whatever doesn't mean u can pick up and start doing a wheelie/stoppie tomorrow. So who's the ignorant one here? You for thinking the right way to ride a sportbike is only ur way.

EXACTLY!!! 140+ draggin a knee on the highway is ok, but a 15-20MPH controlled wheelie isn't... people need to grow up and realize their way isn't always the right way just cause they can't do something.
