    I don't know that stunts like that are ALL bad...it's the kind of thing that gives "natural selection" the little boost it needs to get back in the game.

    Stunting.....

    Extremely popular these days. Do it all you want at airfields, vacant lots and in your driveway....NEVER do it on the streets.

    I guess I'm just getting old and have seen too many riders/innocent bystanders hurt by that kind of crap. I could care less about the idiot on the bike....I'm concerned about bystanders and the relatives he will leave behind.

    Ride smart, Wear gear.

    Cunning stunts?? cheap trick?? seems right. boy are you old I love it...that much more air,water,food, and dead dinosaurs for me. I heartily encourage anyone so inclined, to ride wheelstands for 5 miles in 65mph rushhour traffic, roof surf their Buick, mattress surf(this ones actually a blast) dirt roads, drift your Nissan up the freeway on ramp ("ramping" this one is also cool ), and get drunk and try to ride the neighbors Buffalo (not so much). Earth is getting too THICK! We need more of these shenanagins Don't forget ghostdriving papa! wayne Now get out there and basejump somethin'

    Last summer, on a Sunday afternoon, on the freeway (I-5) I had two of these crazy kids in front of me. Traffic wasn't heavy enough to slow us down but there were still a good number of vehicles doing 60 - 70 mph and these two guys were doing their tricks in the center lane right in front of me. One pulled a wheelie for a good two miles while the other skated beside his bike. I was torn between being amazed and awed by the show and being mad that they were gonna make me have to get blood and motorcycle parts all over my vx when they crashed and I hit them. Stupid, stupid, stupid, but they righted themselves and hit the throttle and were gone. I actually felt bad for a minute that my first concern was my car.

    This problem was even more severe in the Jurassic period, when claws limited the amount of throttle control available. Barney was the only dinosaur to survive, simply because he was too much of a Dinowuss to ride....
