do you ride like this?

playtowinthegame · 03-14-2012, 09:39 AM

i ran across a video on youtube. its a vid of a biker crashing his bike and i think he dies. he is suicidal, but appears he has pretty good skill up until the end. do you guys drive like this? or is this a very rare case of a guy being a complete idiot on a mission to die? here is the link...

This is a classic case of idiots, it's a shame the guy died, but riding like that will get you the same consequence. And no one will think you're cool either.

There's no skill in avoiding vehicles as you race by them, that should just be common sense in ANY vehicle operation. Obey the laws of the road(they exist for a reason) and take the crazy riding to the track where it's taught in a structured manner.

there are plenty of idiots out there that ride like this, and there are plenty out there that don't

kinda like asking do all HD riders drink and ride?

what a crock o shit for lawyers, its obvious, at 1 point he says they were going 160mph, but the speeds they were passing cars was def. not 2x their speed, but if you convert kph to mph, 160kph= 100mph which looks right for the vid.

Dying is not a skill, any idiot can do it.

All I know is that if I'm shopping for a new camera, I want whatever this guy had... Note that it does doesn't skip or fuck up on impact at all... Awesome quality.

That's KPH right?

RACER X · 03-14-2012, 11:49 AM

It certainly didn't look like MPH, especially when he was passing other cars at like 160, and he wasn't flying by them.

i think the speed is legit in mph, cuz at his low speed of around 120, he is still flying by cars. and that is a highway, so the other cars are doing about 60-80. and 120 kph is equal to about 80 mph. so that wouldnt make sense if that were the case.
