Giving trials a bad name?

[carver]

have i given trials riders a bit of a bad name by doing a stunt that got on national news?

[Mom]

Yes, you should be ashamed of yourself :Pokey:

[carver]

its a bit hard to be at the moment...

NZ's most notorious!

[nallac]

No, you are giving all motorcyclists a bad name with your antics young man......... oh no wait, I'm getting myself confused with someone else :buggerd:

[R6_kid]

You ruined the NZ stunt scene, why not take the NZ Trials scene out at the same time! :headbang:

[FJRider]

We got a bridge down here you might like to try ... :innocent:

[YellowDog]

have i given trials riders a bit of a bad name by doing a stunt that got on national news?
Not at all.

We are all very proud of you.

I am so jealous that I am considering the same on my CT110.

I'm just a bit worried about climbing the ups at <5kph on the clutch slip. I may even slide back down.

Anyone care to video it for me?

Anyone know a good place to get a Will written?

Anyone know if the life insurance co will pay up?

[NighthawkNZ]

pffft, I would have been more impressed if you did it on a 1800cc GoldWing...

[CookMySock]

While your head is in oversize mode its very easy to search out more congratulations by doing an even wilder stunt, so I would be being really careful right now if I was you. Come off your buzz before the next one please.

Not dissing - just being aware.

I am sure you will have all the support from all the members here to back you up 100% if they prosecute, chip in a $ or two..... :whistle:

Awesome shit Mr Bennett !

[sil3nt]

Damn this is new!

[vifferman]

I think Inspector Tooman's comments are entirely spurious - seems to me they'd be prosecuting him just because they can.
"Mr Bennett could face charges of reckless use of a motor vehicle, careless use of the motor vehicle, or endangering transport."

I don't see there was any danger to other motorists, and given Craver wasn't on the road at any time during his escapade, it's stretching things a bit to prosecute him under various traffic laws. I'd say to pull off this stunt was far from careless or reckless, but more very careful and carried out with utmost concentration and due regard to safety. "Endangering transport"?!? Pffffttt!

[Insanity_rules]

Go Carver, world famous in New Zealand.

[McWild]

Reckless and careless use of a motor vehicle?

But but but that's not like Carver at all!!!

[R6_kid]

Inspector Tooman needs to pull the carrot out and go have some fun.

[Matt Bleck]

If they don't prosecute then they'll have every other moron trying the same thing!!


String him up by the gonads!!!!!!!!

[NighthawkNZ]

old news ...

[kevfromcoro]

This has turned into a bit of a storm in a teacup.
I mean Carver took resonabill precutions when doing this stunt..
what are they going to prosicute him for?
tresspass on the top of a bridge.....

[carver]

TV3 want me....

[merv]

Mate you haven't given trials a bad name at all, you've shown just how great trials can be.

When are you going to be on TV3 because that better be recorded for all to see?

[carver]

i have turned tv3 down for legal reasons...

[Thani-B]

thanks!............

[Thani-B]

you're welcome :p lol

[ajturbo]

NO.....

only the friggin tree huggers think it wrong....

well done !!!!

wish i could piss them off like that..

[Mystic13]

Or you could go with TV3 and get their lawyers to support you if you have to defend yourself.

If the old timers are right and it was done before on a motorbike then I'd be interested in what precedent was set then. Personally I'd love to see the video.

Funny stuff this.

Good luck and hopefully you'll re-visit the TV3 thing. I can't see how being on TV3 will make things worse. Clearly there is already enough proof.

The only thing I can see is if you publisize it more the police may choose to deal to it on that basis. It'd be great to see what the legal opinions are.

Well done. Insane. But well done.

[mynameis]

carver for pm :lol: :clap:

[CookMySock]

I think Inspector Tooman's comments are entirely spurious - seems to me they'd be prosecuting him just because they can. If people keep prodding him, he just might. They don't tolerate this sort of crap forever. One day they will respond. And they will win.

Get over yourself ya try hard

[pzkpfw]

The old bridge over the Manawatu had arches like that bridge. Back when I was at Massey I used to walk over that bridge at night. Thought I was pretty cool.

No freakin' way I would ever ever ever be able to (or dare to) do that on a bike.

So whatever else, that was quite some combination of skill and balls.


If the powers don't want the stunt repeated, they could put chunky things on the bridge, like those studs the council puts on benches to stop skateboarders.

But they can make the Mormon Few pay for them.


P.S. Wheelies are cool.

(Another thing i can't do.)

[Boob Johnson]

TV3 want me....
Milk it man, milk it!!!

??? How does that work? You are already in the paper?

Try hard? He did & he succeeded ;)

Tall poppy? :whistle:

Class clown?

Hardly Edmond Hillary is he?

[HenryDorsetCase]

I think its cool. No one got hurt, everybody had fun: win win.

I'll chuck in a hundy if you get persecuted for it. Thats not a typo.

[F5 Dave]

ok next trick, take the tyres off & do this; not current legal road so no legality drama. go-awn!:pinch:

The Clifden suspension bridge spans 111.5 metres over the Waiau River, and is the longest suspension bridge in New Zealand.

Settlers depended on a ferry to get stock and supplies across this dangerous river. By the early 1890s the Government funded a punt attached to a wire rope until the bridge was built in 1898-99 taking ten months to complete. It was opened on 5 April 1899 by Sir Joseph Ward.

Southland County Engineer C H Howorth designed the bridge anchoring the cables into limestone deposits. The tapering towers are 7.5 metres high, the steel cables weigh 28 tonnes and the decking and beams are made from heart totara. The bridge is 3.5 metres wide, and acted as a single lane bridge for horse-drawn traffic although traction engines were soon towing lime and wool over it.

Trucks and cars traversed it from the 1920s and it remained in use until 1978 when the current bridge was opened downstream.

[Boob Johnson]

Class clown?

Maybe we could think of him as the humourous Ed Hillary of Hamilton? :laugh:

Not seeing too many of your achievements posted up, but if we did how would you react to someone calling you a "try hard"? That's usually reserved for those that try just a little bit too hard & fail, fail he did not ;)

Your comments just smack of jealousy to me or those of someone who really wishes he (Carver) had attempted it but failed, either way you wouldn't have anything nice to say :oi-grr:

You sound like someone aching for some man love.


Yeah it was a humourous stunt, and a decent one at that :clap: ....


but.... the appetite of an attention seeker is insatiable. I mean how many threads do we need? Mods why not merge this into the one in Biker News cause there's nothing new in here. How much mileage are you trying to make out of it?

[avgas]

Good effort and yes
or something along those lines.

[Boob Johnson]

Sorry cup cake ya mum won't give me up, even for you :bleh:


Who made you the 15min's of fame police? Got nothing else going in ya life that you have to police how many times a pretty cool stunt is publicised?


Get over it mate ;)

[pritch]

'Tis a fine line between brave and stupid, but I admire Carver's effort in this instance.

After all he's still with us, so it can't have been *that* dangerous. Definitely dangerous enough to put me off though :yes:

[carver]

wow, thanks guys!
i will have to see what happens, i will call TV3 next time.

il post the vid up again once its im in the clear.
also, i may do the music video soon to my song

[Mystic13]

I would have thought a call to Hamilton City Council would be useful. Assuming it's there bridge. My guess is not a police issue unless HCC want to go down the trespass lane.

For HCC this seems like a great opportunity for some viral marketing for the city. If they link in with the vid Hamilton wins big time. Of course they should send some boys out to stop the stunt being repeated and make noises about getting consent in future.

And yep Carver does tend to over promote himself and you still have to admit it's an impressive stunt. Over promotion ain't that bad a thing.

[coffeejunkie]

TV3 want me....

At least someone wants you

[Swoop]

wow, thanks guys!

Deal with TV3 and not the cock-sucking monkeys' of the taxpayer funded mouthpiece of the gubbinment "tvnz".

Get over it mate ;)

I am over it "mate"....so over it. That's my point.

That's a bit strange don't you think? New to who? Them or the general public?
Doesn't quite ad up. 99% of NZ would not have seen this, It would make a great 2min clip at the end of the 6pm news.




Short Circuit? Well named :crazy:

[Foxzee]

I am over it "mate"....so over it. That's my point.

You really seem to be aye.....coz ya keep popping up in the thread and saying something equally unuseful each time:zzzz:

Well, fairfax published it first, and it would suit tv3 to have run it at the same time, rather than a few days later, because fairfax made it national, plus it was all over the radio here


I think your stunt was awesome. Ignore the knockers they are just jealous.

cheers doc, did ya go to the kiwi?
