Either staged or a stupid cop. Given the view from the overpass, I gotta guess staged, but who knows...could have been a friend who was in on it.

I guess it was only a matter of time before someone started to copy Ghost Rider's exploits. Not that I approve of what Ghost Rider does but who ever did the riding in this video looks like he's on the very edge of his skills--he doesn't have the finesse that Ghost does.

^lol...
I don't think it's staged...very much like ghost rider if anyone has ever heard of those videos. Over in Europe, unlike here, they'll chase and try to chatch him not it's not the end of the world. Try something like that in most of the States and you'll have helicopter fallowing you and most like end up get getting rammed by a police car....if they get close enough.

LOL! That's a good one. As far as being "staged" I'm not sure what people would consider staged; Ghost Rider did pick his route in advance and did have people filming him at certain points of his rides--but nothing was ever rehearsed in terms of "I'm gonna ride a wheelie, then slow down in front of a bus, then when you pass me in the patrol car, I will wheelie behind you to catch up, etc...".

Just a funny note about the work filters:

The only thing I can't do from work is email and photbucket. Everything else is fine.

Oh yeah about the actual subject. Jacka$$

Not staged. Kind of an old vid. Do a search on getaway vids there are a bunch of them.

reminds me of the last time I drove to Las Vegas.. leaving town on sunday morning, about 5am, and here comes a crotch rocket riding a wheelie down the freeway.. blew by me, cant even guess what he was doing for speed..

some folks take many more risks than i'm comfortable with..

Yep.

And there are going to be a bunch of new politicians in February, looking for laws to write (thus to get their names in the Congressional Record).

We are an easy target, dangerous, anti-social and we have no "allied constituency" to defend us.

Ghostrider is a very famous (for what him or her does) in Europe. They have many DVDS out there that show the exploits of what him/her does. I have one called Ghostriders final ride and it wasn't , but if you want to watch something and catch yourself with your mouth hanging open rent one.

Apparently cops can be legally blind now, and still get hired.
How did he not see the bike as he passed it, and then the rider accelerate, and follow him for that long.....OMG

Fire the cop if that is not staged.....and then get him a white cane....
