I have no problem with any of those videos that happend at a track... on public roads, it makes me a bit upset, as there was innocent people's property damages in some situations, and other peoples safety put in danger.

Heck, if they wanna destroy themselves and their bikes, I'm all for it... but when they AT ALL effect other innocent people, then it boils my blood a bit.

while you youngsters watch the crash an burns ,us older members will do these kind of stunts . All I need is about a 150 forum members to practice with.. any takers? or should I just pick and notify by email. http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?vid...Mv8&rel=1&eurl

Go figure it's DMX (i think) playing in the background. Typical squid stuff.

i agree...the stuff on a closed road i could care less about (except for the lack of gear...i wonder how much skin the last guy lost!) but the stuff on the road? totally stupid and uncalled for.

ive seen that...thats just crazy skill!

[sdbrit68]

I just wanna know, how do they afford to repair the bikes

[N3FOLN3FOL]

Too many nice looking sportsbike damaged on that video. Too many riders not wearing complete gear and doing stunts. That must really hurt for a long time during recovery. I agree, stunts on public roads should stop.

WOW.... I wonder how many wrecks there were practicing for that????

[spitfire9]

Man I couldn't watch the whole thing. I did LMAO at the one where the bike was rolling along and the rider's buddy jumped onto it and took off, saving the bike from damage.

Don't want to bust no one's bubble but alot of those guys are not squids. Some are pro stunt riders. Not just the rookies crash in that sport. It's just a part of the game. And about the question of affoarding the repairs, most stunners do their own repairs(with alot of Zipties LOL)... But they also have sponsors(if they are better known) if not then they either have their families backing them up or they work hard for the money.

[ALStensby]

As for what to wear/not wear...that's riders choice IMO. They can have the date with the steel wool of death! OUCH!

About 90% of what was on there was actually some pretty cool stuff I thought. They were being responsible in regards to the rules of the road and practicing theirs stunts at tracks and such. It's the Squidiots who do it on public roads who put other's well being at risk that upsets me the most. It takes a lot of restraint (and the knowledge of what could happen) to not just teach them the lesson myself on the roads. Won't do it, but man do I want to some times!

[i23theone23i]

The bits from tracks are from competition. The ones around factories are practice spots and on the street is just "joy ride" if you will... Nowdays the riders are much more skilled, technical and precise. check this video out.

Got to agree the ones at the track and such, fine. Thats the place to do that stuff. The stuff on the public streets, no way. Can you imagine if that run away yellow bike made it over the median and into oncoming traffic!

every time I see one go down, I start mentally calculating how much the damage would be, must be getting cheap in my old age

[i23theone23i]

Well the trick is now days is to remove some part like front plastice, stock headlights etc so it won't get crushed while you practice

That one dude on the yellow bike who lost it on the highway and jumped the median in front of that truck pulling a camper was a real idiot. He put himself in a position to be run over by about 14,000 lbs. I would be mad as hell if he did that in front of me pulling my camper and I am about 17,000 lbs combined weight. I would have been mad but I would have also been a little upset if I ran him over because it would probably mess something up on the truck and I would feel sorry for his family.

not to mention the psychological affect on your kids assuming he was with his/her family on a camping trip. idiot isn't a strong enough word for that guy.
