Yep - your right found this "Another stunt was called off after action sports star Rhys Millen injured his back and neck in a practice run." at another site.

Please do not post You Tube links. It is disrespectful and dangerous.

My mobile phone has a YouTube plugin. Works great!

If you're referring to this post (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1362338&postcount=17) then your crack is misguided.

I am a biker. The last thing that I want to see is cage drivers taking pictures with their cellphones while they are driving on Auckland motorways. Please take another look at the pictures linked in that thread - they were clearly taken from the driver's position i.e. look at the instrument console and mirror.

I repeat my comments, taking those shots was disrespectful and dangerous.

Do you change your radio whilst driving?

Do you converse with passengers?

Do you change gears?

Do you drive with children in the car?


All these things occupy the mind or the hands and could be deemed as dangerous as using a camera at the wheel.

You should get a job with the Government.

322 feet into a headwind! Bloody marvelous stuff.

Yeah but his Honda had some big suspension (and most likely more power) than a certain HD XR-750.....

He only needed/aimed for 98 MPH surely the XR could get that?

[nudemetalz]

Good point.

[Big Dave]

Suspension travel has come a long way though :laugh:

[Big Dave]

I never take photos behind the wheel - only while riding.

he hardly needed much with the size/angle of his landing ramp
