Problem here lies in the fact that 90% of new riders out there think they are stunters, wheelies, stoppies and all the other tricks take time and practice, and like most "sports" you have people with "natural" talent and can make these bikes do things that seem easy, not every body can do these tricks, but you got all these yahoo's that think cuz they bought a sport bike can go out and start stunting. I for one admire a good wheelie and love to see it done, I for one can't do or want to. I admit I don't have the talent for it and cudo's to the really talented riders

Yep, these obviously know what they're doing but I'd still throw on more than just a helmet. I did like the fact that one of them was wearin those armored shorts and the armored cut off T-shirt, where can I get some like that?......!

thats the Icon field armor. go to www.sandhillspowersports.com and they have them on there for cheaper than most sites. usually the vest runs for $100, but they sell it for $70.

Heineken? I thought he was wearing a shirt with a big starbucks logo (would explain the shorts).

at least they wear helmets when needed - i know most of their stunts are in a controlled enviroment and slow moving - but you never know what could happen. (should always wear a helmet) and i think it's a starbucks logo..

Well said.

Also notice how most stunter's bikes look like beat up pieces of crap...and are beat up pieces of crap.

The wrecks that caused this were edited out.

Great tricks...and takes practice.

That music sucks btw...
