I am not sure where to put this, but being as it is a video, 'Gallery' sounds good.

This guy has incredible balance and handling skills.

Those are also the types of riders who forget about safety when riding because they have gotten so comfortable with the bike. In the end, many of these riders have an accident at high speed and do not walk away. I saw one a few days ago. He was showing off on his Ninja, cranked it up well above the speed limit on a busy public street and ended up going to a hospital because someone pulled out right in front of him. The driver of the car wasn't paying any attention, had their radio up loud enough that they could not hear him coming, and pulled out directly in front of the bike as it was cresting a blind hill. Who was at fault? Both, but the person in the car did not go to the hospital. Showing off on public streets can get you killed. In the video the guy was in a parking lot, but a public street was right behind him. The transition onto public streets will only be a matter of time for him.

I suspect that he has been there and done that. I also suspect that if he hasn't already ditched a bike a few times, he is well on his way to doing so.

Show me someone with some talent, a single stunt driver that we see in movies, that has not f-ed up a few times?

lets don't turn this into a old folks rant... plenty of time yet for most of us to get old.

I represent that remark.

Haha! John, my Dad always said that! I've never heard anyone else say that. Cool, thanks.
Miss him

With all due respect that's the great thing about being on 2 wheels - you act like an idiot and crash it's you who ends up dead. The vehicle you plowed into gets a dent and needs a paint touch up. The reality is that what do you care if some stranger on a bike crashes and kills himself - his life. That's the whole point in having a bike for most riders - to ride fast and enjoy the thrill and agility you can only get by being on 2 wheels. If you want to drive slow snag a minivan or a 49cc scoot.

whats all these negative replies about??? This stunt rider shows great skill, better than any of us. Its done 'off road ,so no other road user is in danger. These stunt bikes are carefully converted although they look stock ( shocks, steering, tanks dented to help manouvers, low tyre pressure .) This show was near flawless and a pleasure to watch. Oh yes, sorry, he didnt wear a day glo vest,, the shame!!!

Welcome new guy... I should try and answer your question. Maybe we start by looking at my signature. We have seasoned bikers and perhaps a few younger riders from overseas who depend on these little machines for daily commute. If you are lucky enough to survive the big bikes all you life you might find yourself a little less tolerant of unnecessary risk. This isn't a rest home for American bikers or anything like that yet... but try and understand. We put on our day-glow and long underwear, brush the grey hair out of our helmets and still go out in harms way trying to stay off the ditch list.

yes, I get what your saying homie, Ive been riding over 40 years, now Im enjoying small cc bikes/scoots. I just think the skill of the stunt rider is fantastic, the only one at risk is himself, therefore cant see anything negative about such skill.

I with you on this, I watch for this kind of talent on youtube and try really hard not to look at the FAIL motorcycle vids because those can put me off and spook me for days.
