Pisstake thread surely.
So a bloke does a braindead stunt, identifies himself & brags about it on the internet, & then hopes for strangers to stump up with his legal fees.
Whatever.
Clearly taking responsibility for one's actions is dead & buried.

23rd September 2009, 20:38
Whats the $ target? we really do need a target especially with only 28 days to go. The sooner we can reach target, the better.

Edit: Sidecar Bob. this isnt a pisstake. It was an impressive stunt and no-one else was in danger. Id give him some money just for having the balls to do something like that, as I know I dont!

bad time for asking for money, there is a MUCH more worthy cause for donations.

Jono, You are getting what you deserve (legally) while i tottally disagree with you getting dragged into the courts I cannot give you any money when there is someone else who deserves it more.

Good luck, teach those bastard cops a lesson.

Good for you. For fuck's sake don't tell everyone on here. You could jeopardise your chances.

Perhaps you could make some kind of media circus out of the whole event. You might get found guilty but you could also get a whole load of celebrity (and potentially $$$$) out of it.

....but then Murder is not in the same league and dangerous driving, making a mockery of the law and creating a public nuisence, and vandilizing public property (Tire marks on the bridge structure) not to mention public endangerment and ...reckless endangerment....you could have hurt your self...

Hope the media get hold of this and point out how the law is wasteing tax payers money with this frivilous case...pressing ahead with a prosecution in a case like this just proves how childish and uptight the law can be...Pathetic to the extreme IMO....just hope you don't get the hanging judge....you know the one, he fell of this scooter at the age of 7 and became a judge with the sole aim in life, to out law motorcycles...

Good luck and how about an account number for donations....I am in for a bit. PM me if you dont want to post an account number.

Note...My contribution will not be for the defence, rather it is against the childish prosecution...(Splitting hairs but thats me)

You have a good point.

Speak to a lawyer, if it is classed as a road you are just wasting time and money defending it.
See if the lawyer can plead it down to a lesser charge for a guilty plea.

You manned up to the stunt, man up to the consequences - it'll only add to the legend.

I don't mind donating if you are innocent or for the entertainment value of the stunt, but I'm not into pissing into the wind.

I agree here, be a man.
Don't waste your mates dollars, HTFU, take it on the chin, chalk it up to experience, next time approach the cops and council - if you haven't already blown it, because stunts are ok, if you do it the right way.

Yep Lisa Lewis classic example of fine upstanding Hamilton citizen.

Define a road is lawyers angle to get off,but having posted video,told all here about the stunt(bloody good to)sort of says guilty as charged.Sure the lawyers are saying fight it,they get the dollars regardless.

Front up in court without lawyers,tell your story to the judge,explaining you thought it was fun at the time,now realise it was stupid,as many dumb idiots might try to emulate it.The judge might be impressed that you're not denying it,but was spur of moment idea,never to be done again(tui anyone).

haha, dangerous is the charge.
lack of proof is the defence

they need to prove what was dangerous about this or who it was a danger to. You're a skilled and competent rider, riding a specialist bike over an obstacle. The bridge ride has been done at least once before that I can remember back in the 70's. May pay to get their names, don't believe they were ever charged. You were in total control and never posed any danger to yourself. The person on the bride was part of your pedestrian safety control crew ?

Publish the exact wording of the charge.

Would seem a new sign may be required "Please do not use the Arches to cross the river"

I think we would all like to know more details on the legal side of things.

I think the not guilty plead is fruitless (though not saying you actually did it!)
I think the way to go would be the circumstances around it and actually contest the dangerous side of things - who was the victim?
People jump out of aeroplanes and skydive - they dont get taken to court!

Johno have you been done for dangerous/careless/reckless before? If not, diversion could be a way to go.

Definately seek legal help, you gotta have a mate of a mate somewhere who can give you some advice before spending $$ trying to defend.

The lawyer who defened my dangerous charge was from the tron and quite reasonably priced. It wouldn't cost FA for a bit of advice.

Dangerous driving... on a road...? Didn't look like a "road....." But I could be wrong......

"A place to which the public have access " ? They have got to be kidding.

Reference Land Transport Act 1998 No 110 (http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1998/0110/latest/DLM434511.html)
The "on a road" bit was amended out in 2005.

(2) A person may not drive a motor vehicle, or cause a motor vehicle to be driven, at a speed or in a manner which, having regard to all the circumstances, is or might be dangerous to the public or to a person.
Definitely plead not guilty. However IMHO a better defense (than I didn't do it) would be to show that in the circumstances you identified the risks then mitigated them effectively. Training, preparation, weather, equipment, your experience and any safety precautions taken on the day might swing it. Was this in fact dangerous or a carefully planned and executed stunt?

I doubt there is a warning sign, saying "no riding motorbikes over the arches" or something like that. I would guess that a sign saying "no pedestrians / no walking over the arches" or similar exists?

Defense in a nutshell:

"Your honour, I am a Mormon. As such, I diligently wear my magic underpants whenever attempting a stunt like this, and Mormon doctirne states that you cannot be physically harmed while wearing the magic underpants. As a demonstration of this fact, and since i am wearing the magic pannts right this minute, I invite you to try and kick me in the balls right now...go on."

If that works, he gets off...if not, well the stunt was good, and if notoriety is what you're after...

they need to prove what was dangerous about this or who it was a danger to. You're a skilled and competent rider, riding a specialist bike over an obstacle. The bridge ride has been done at least once before that I can remember back in the 70's. May pay to get their names, don't believe they were ever charged. You were in total control and never posed any danger to yourself. The person on the bride was part of your pedestrian safety control crew ?

Publish the exact wording of the charge.

Would seem a new sign may be required "Please do not use the Arches to cross the river"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Mormon folklore is a body of expressive culture unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its members. It includes tales, oral history, popular beliefs, customs, music, stunts, jokes, and other traditions.

Wilson said Mormon folktales often affirm the group’s beliefs that people doing the Lord's work may receive divine protection. "It's a rhetorical strategy designed to persuade the audience to accept a certain point of view or to follow a certain course of action,"

In other words...God told me to do it!! Hell it works as a defense for drowning someone who's been possessed.

Did he do the 'stunt'? - Yes
Did he know it was illegal when he did it? - Yes
Did he then brag about it (repeatedly) in public? - Yes

I suspect if he had just kept quiet about it, he wouldn't have been prosecuted. It's the repeated bragging and drawing attention to himself that has been his downfall.

If someone is wrongly accused of doing something then I will fully support their right to defend themselves in court, and as a taxpayer I am even prepared to fund the process to ensure justice is done.

When someone did the thing they are accused of doing, and brags about it repeatedly, I resent them wasting everyone's time by then pretending they didn't do it and playing (expensive) silly games with the system.

There are plenty of people out there who genuinely need our help and are suffering hardship through no fault of their own. Carver is the last person I will be giving money to.

Carver has balls. Truly.

BUT if he keeps on getting on the wrong side of the law it will restrict his chances to make a living outta it. And travel doing it.

I think it is better to learn from this for next time:
- Make sure you have the OK to do it.
- Make sure there is St Johns (or someone else) on site just in case...
- Get the media involved before it happens so you get the publicity you deserve. (There is gold in those hills son...)
- Have your lawyer sorted BEFORE you do these stunts.

If you keep on doing these stunts w/o having stuff in place, you are no better then any other hooligan/boyracer/idiot who rides at 200k/h down a residental street and then brags about it.

If you are gonna do this stuff and get respect for it, do it properly. Or take the consequences.

I admire you for having the balls to do this stunt. But that is where it stops. Learn from this and be more professional about it next time.

They do their thing knowing full well this may happen.
You don't think base jumpers have getaway cars for no reason do ya?
I mean honestly Carver diddn't think he would get to break a bunch of local laws and NOT face possible prosecution.
Now before people start getting high and mighty I'm NOT saying the stunt wasn't cool just that theres a time to pay the piper
If a fund is being set up I'd suggest it be for the poor bastards that actually genuinely did nothing wrong except to chose the wrong people to ride with and are out to loose their licences and jobs as a result.

Carver is totally entitled to legal defence. We all are, all that's happening is a friend of his is going into bat for him. I'd like to think I have friends that would do the same for me if there was a cause they believed in

If people want to contribute they can, if not - don't. I don't believe it was a ever a complicated issue and the usual KB BS is simply complicating things (although it could also be rarking up the supporters thereby getting Carver some additional support funds).

__________________________________________________ ________________________________

Does the bit at the end of the video with Carver talking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60NCcEuuu0Q not give it away?? I guess the guy who ACTUALLY did it could have finished up, given Carver his gear to put on. Or you might both own the exact same gear. Who does the bike belong to?

Is there a law that says - you are not allowed to ride a motorbike over the arches of a bridge?

Obviously this has been classed as dangerous driving (riding).

You all say no one was in danger ... sure, I don't disagree with that necessarily, but is anyone in danger when someone attempts a quarter mile down an empty street in the middle of nowhere with a handbrake turn at the end? ... No they are not! Hasn't stopped the cops from prosecuting them for dangerous driving (if caught of course!!).

I for one will not be giving you money Carver, you seem to have plenty enough cash to buy bikes, wreck them, buy another bike, wreck/thrash that etc etc, pay exhuberant amounts of $$ for the petrol you must burn through, buy video cameras, an internet connection to upload them to you tube. Or maybe someone else foots the bill for all that ... then ask them to fund your legal aid!! Why all of a sudden a slow in the cash flow? Did mum and dad cut you off after this stunt??

Dangerous use of a motor vehicle is only a motoring offence innit? It's not like you will get a crminal conviction from it anyway. Fine will be prolly be less than legal expenses.

Haha what a great stunt, good on ya, thats a laugh.

I can't really see any public good from takin ya to court, with the exception of the fact that you will keep the plod in question off the roads for a day or so while he prepares the case and shows up in court.

And thats worth $20.

Nope... they have file breifers who sit in the office all day, every day, paid well for briefing files. The cop will be out on patrol, still.......


Reference Land Transport Act 1998 No 110 (http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1998/0110/latest/DLM434511.html)
The "on a road" bit was amended out in 2005.

(2) A person may not drive a motor vehicle, or cause a motor vehicle to be driven, at a speed or in a manner which, having regard to all the circumstances, is or might be dangerous to the public or to a person.
Definitely plead not guilty. However IMHO a better defense (than I didn't do it) would be to show that in the circumstances you identified the risks then mitigated them effectively. Training, preparation, weather, equipment, your experience and any safety precautions taken on the day might swing it. Was this in fact dangerous or a carefully planned and executed stunt?

Carefully planned? Nope. Authorities weren't advised, no safety, no first aid/Ambo as a precaution, nothing. Perfectly executed? Yep...


You have admitted doing the stunt.
There is video of you afterwards, admitting doing the stunt.

Your only possibility is to plead gulity to doing the stunt but not to dangerous charges. The time of day would have helped ensure a lack of public around, hence making a safer environment.

I doubt there is a warning sign, saying "no riding motorbikes over the arches" or something like that. I would guess that a sign saying "no pedestrians / no walking over the arches" or similar exists?
You did not walk over the bridge, so complied with that requirement...

"Get a lawyer son. Better get ya'self a real good one..." (as the song goes).

Common sense. Guns don't have a sign "Don't shoot yourself in the head or you may die" either....

But then again, they do have warning signs on cling wrap plastic, saying "don't place over your face or head, as suffocation may result..." No shit Sherlock....


Yea, skill and bravery for sure.

BUT the difference is that the stunt riders you mention organise it so the cops and local body authorities are notified.

Also ambo's are on site should they be needed.
The media would've rocked up and the whole of NZ would've been watching. This is the fauxpah.

Don't give Bob a hardtime mate, he hangs off the sidecar at phenominal pace on the track. He actually IS a Legend. Scrivy his rider is 6x NZ champ.
Did you go to Paeroa this year:shit:? If so, I rest my case.

Organisation, and non organised, is the clear difference.


Charge should be using an unavailable lane.......
The problem it is a place that is accessible to the public.

By driving up there, he, as a "member of the public," made it "accessable to the public."


Illegal to ride over the arches on a motorcycle? - Hmm. According to whom, or what rules? How are these (possible) "rules" promulgated?

A "bridge" is a "road." A "bridge" includes the structure, I believe.... But I could be wrong.....


Perhaps cops are worried about the example it sets when Little Johnny trries to ride his BMX over and falls off the bridge.....It was a great stunt but as others have said perhaps some forward planning wouldn't of gone amiss

Well said that man... Ooops... Chickie babe.....




Obviously he's been prosecuted for something before as otherwise he would get diversion wouldn't he??

No diversion. Carries disqualification, so no diversion.

Start a thread about you smoking and drinking instead of donating money...you'll get people's opinions (if they give a fuck) about that too.

Carver is totally entitled to legal defence. We all are, all that's happening is a friend of his is going into bat for him. I'd like to think I have friends that would do the same for me if there was a cause they believed in

If people want to contribute they can, if not - don't. I don't believe it was a ever a complicated issue and the usual KB BS is simply complicating things (although it could also be rarking up the supporters thereby getting Carver some additional support funds).

I simply hope justice is done.

Its like saying its alright to blow shit up in public as long as no one gets hurt. Doesnt mean its right oh and schoolyard bullrush and riding a motorcycle over a bridge are two different things. One is in a controlled environment the other is not.

This is insane! (haven't read any of this thread yet but the title is enough to form my opinion). Some poor girl with a 6 week old baby lost her partner and provider under tragic circumstances... there is already a thread set up so we can make financial contributions and Carver is asking for donations to pay a fine for doing some stupid trick that's been done before. I would consider making a small contribution, $20-$50 to FIGHT the charges in court (because the one thing crazier about this thread is the fact that someone can't do something on public property causing ZERO damage and if nothing else actually creating positive publicity for a city that has just been labelled "boring" by a high-profile visitor). But there's no way I'm going to encourage Carver's short-sighted hijinks. I strongly encourage you all to do the same.

EDIT: Ok, just been informed that the request is for legal aid. Fair enough. I'll make my contribution after I've donated to the other, needier cause. You better not fucken waste it buttering up Sidewinder for a root though Carver. Serious.

IMO defending a frivilous charge brought by the police for a person pulling of a successful stunt (or even if not successful) is a bigger picture issue than Carvers well being. I am saying the namby pamby cotton wool state is going to far....next there will be no fishing cause you may drown, no tramping cause you might get lost and put rescuers at risk, no surfing cause you may get in trouble and put the life savers at risk....etc.

Dangerous driving and disqualification? I think Carver has proven himself more in control of a motor vehical than 99 % of road users..(Maybe a little less than the sensibility of 99% of the road users, but then thats not what this is about)

I do tend to agree with those who say face up to it without beating around the bush...I just hope the Judge has enough sense to see that a prosicution/conviction is not in the public good.

I actually admire you Carver for your two-wheeled expolits. Some of it's pretty ghey, but overall......

The fact remains that there are people being prosecuted in this country, sometimes with the same charge even, for shit they themselves didn't do. That, in my somewhat biased opinion, is more of an issue than you being charged for something you may have actually done, with some planning and forethought even.

You told me earlier that you got legal advice. There's a good chance that this advice was based on whether you could be convicted, rather than charged. This issue has also become political, what with the media attention. Sometimes too one reaps what they sow.

The po-po seem to be able to throw DD charges at anyone they like, it's then up to you to pay to defend it. This sucks if you didn't do it in the first place, trust me.

I wish you luck in defending the charge, I'm all for a bit of fun. The reality is though, that in this society you have to play by the rules or take the consequences. You got bad advice my friend.

I think we would all like to know more details on the legal side of things.

I think the not guilty plead is fruitless (though not saying you actually did it!)
I think the way to go would be the circumstances around it and actually contest the dangerous side of things - who was the victim?
People jump out of aeroplanes and skydive - they dont get taken to court!

Johno have you been done for dangerous/careless/reckless before? If not, diversion could be a way to go.

Definately seek legal help, you gotta have a mate of a mate somewhere who can give you some advice before spending $$ trying to defend.

If ya jump out a fucking aeroplane where you are not meant to then you go to court. If you ride a motorcycle over a bridge you go to court. If you jump off a bridge and dont die you go to court. If you decide to drive your car over the edge of a cliff and jump out at the last minute and get caught...you go to court. It stops like minded idiots from doing it again.

If you told the police I want to do this stunt. Proved it was not too dangerous. Got permission, closed off the road and did it then bloody hurrah, good on ya.

Wankers like you dont deserve a motorcycle, you have no concept what theyre about (its called FREEDOM) and no one was hurt and nothing was damaged in this stunt

I actually admire you Carver for your two-wheeled expolits. Some of it's pretty ghey, but overall......

The fact remains that there are people being prosecuted in this country, sometimes with the same charge even, for shit they themselves didn't do. That, in my somewhat biased opinion, is more of an issue than you being charged for something you may have actually done, with some planning and forethought even.

You told me earlier that you got legal advice. There's a good chance that this advice was based on whether you could be convicted, rather than charged. This issue has also become political, what with the media attention. Sometimes too one reaps what they sow.

The po-po seem to be able to throw DD charges at anyone they like, it's then up to you to pay to defend it. This sucks if you didn't do it in the first place, trust me.

I wish you luck in defending the charge, I'm all for a bit of fun. The reality is though, that in this society you have to play by the rules or take the consequences. You got bad advice my friend.

You dont sound like a madman.....are you sure you are mad, as that is pretty sane sounding talk :laugh:,

I met you Carver and you seem like a pretty good guy to me plus I applaud your stunt, so why are you defending it? Surely you will man up in court by yourself and say"yes your honour twas me, I did it cos it was there" and take the token fine like a man.

How do you know he isnt planning on doing that?


That's not like you - gone all shy all of a sudden?

He's being smart keeping his mouth shut about the charges and what he plans on doing.



If carver wanted to do his stunt, he should have notified the authorities and got permission to do so. Would be saving him trouble now.

If you bothered to read the article in the paper, he did look into doing that.


But I saw the vid and Im bloody sure I saw cars crossing the bridge... and lets not forget his own safety/life he could have been easly killed.

Yes there was cars on it, but again, if you read the article, they made sure there was no pedestrians on the bridge at the time, and there was a first aid person there in case something did happen to him.


trust me, i have spoken to a lawyer well before this has even been done.
I have no real history with the police
I will have the best lawyer, and i am not bothered about the cost.
i have been questioned, and refused to say anything.
i cannot say too much on here, but my last statement says a lot if it was so black and white

Kudos to you carver. And morcs for doing this for his mate.

There was a fucking article in the paper about it.....

Well if he looked into....and they said no.....what do you think the logical course of action would be.

If I wanted to jump a bike of a building...and the police said no...and I did, I wouldnt then ask others for money to bail me out, cos I KNEW it was wrong.

There is money better spent on charities and helping people! Donate 20 bucks to the rescue helicopter or the sallies or something.

You know whats funny, the people who are against people being cuddled and protected by society have it completely backwards. See a "real" man would be one that would know when something is wrong and know not to do it, and if he decided to do it would face the consquences. Dont blame the police for societies problems. The real molly cuddled ones are the people who cry when they get arrested for doing stupid shit.

Im sorry but I dont get the difficulty, if he wanted to do that stunt BAD ENOUGH then he would have found a way to do it legally.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Mormon folklore is a body of expressive culture unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and its members. It includes tales, oral history, popular beliefs, customs, music, stunts, jokes, and other traditions.

Wilson said Mormon folktales often affirm the group’s beliefs that people doing the Lord's work may receive divine protection. "It's a rhetorical strategy designed to persuade the audience to accept a certain point of view or to follow a certain course of action,"

In other words...God told me to do it!! Hell it works as a defense for drowning someone who's been possessed.

haha, now that is funny!


Have you considered approaching the Mormon church?
After spreading the word via the use of motorcyckes, surely they would be happy to pass the plate around to assist with $$'s?

It works for bishop tamaki when he needs a new harley-davidson or a new yacht.

Im sure they dont like me promoting myself using their religion


And dont forget the taxpayers money that goes into fixing him up if he falls off. We cant forget that.....public responsibilty that is.

I work-i pay tax


nice one sidecar, i would donate myself if i was not having to sell toys at present to survive.
I have met carver and he is a nice guy, humble in person. and like you i also think he adds to nz motorcycling.

thank you too, you seemed like a nice person too

the whole defence fund comes from a coversation at the cold kiwi, where i at first rejected the idea, but now i see a need for it.
unlike your taxes going to prosecution, what i am asking for is given at free will, and i promise refunds for any reason it is not used.

What suprises me is that Carver would even endorse this?
He seems to be a man of great talent and well educated. The videos He and the rest of stunt crew construct and put online for our viewing are nothing short of brilliant at times.
Fact is, while his last stunt (which now seems to be 'A Bridge over Troubled Water) was very heroic, putting it on Youtube and posting it KB was not and has now turned around and bit him on the arse. What he did (while extremely dangerous) was illegal, he must now step up and take it like the man he is.

Personally I wouldn't shell out any money to a defense lawyer when all it will be in this case is a very expensive charater refference. I went down that road 25 years ago, cost me $1000 and the judge didn't even look up when Mr Roberts was ''defending'' me. What a waste of fucken money, I ended up with a $900 fine and six months loss of license, I thought at the time that, mmmmmm Judge Monahan already knew what my outcome was going to be.

I think he has some 2-wheeled assets to sell first to meet costs (unless the finance company owns them)

The radio was a bit slow in reporting it. On Radio Sport news this morning, it said that a 24 year old male had been arrested. A police spokesman said "If he'd bothered to discuss his plan with the appropriate authorities, he wouldn't be in the world of pain that he's in now." Or words to that effect....
