When I used to ride across the Fairfield bridge on a daily basis I always wondered what it would be like to ride over the arches.Now I know.

Congrats to a man that's not all mouth and trousers.

Good work all of you.

You're not the only one!
But even watching the video was scary - no way I'd give that a go.

I really did this.

I look forward to the rebuttal video from the mega few.

Should that be mega who?

Hahahahahaha. I seriously believe this is one of those situations where unless you've actually done it or at least attempted it you are not qualified to say how easy it is. Can you stand still in one place without falling over? Most people can. Now try the same thing on a 8" wide plank 60ft up in the air, and see how confident you feel.

Totally agree, amazing how many people come out of the woodwork and say it wouldn't be that hard. Bungy Jumping doesn't look that hard, but it scares the shit out of most people that do it.

Hasn't some geek somewhere come up with a formula that states the higher you are the smaller the perceived width of something is?

It would have brilliant to show the cops coming over the bridge as the last scene (filmed from a discrete location of course).

Well cut though mate. I noticed the little wobble at the start where the wheel gets close to the edge.

While I applaude the remarkable and skillfull action undertaken, and you are now in a select few of elete bikers to say the least, but what the hell would your Mother say? Not alot of room for error there and buy completing it, you will have shut up the neigh sayers, maybe not for good, but, theres no doubting your capabilities. Fuck wheelies and stoppies, you have raised the bar and I would imagine, it will be yours for a long long time. No other Kiwibiker would attempt such a thing.

HA! talk about issuing a challenge!

No real point is there, Carver is safe on third base. He may get beatin' on the track, he may get beatin' around the Loop, and there are far better wheelie doers than he. But the Bridge thing his and only his, to beat.

I dont condone what he did, but ya cant deny, it was impressive.

holy crap - that was awesome!

There was no tampering, that's what happens when you turn an image into a jpeg (compression pixels).

Carver, you guys might want to start making MFSC T-shirts and merchandise... cash in while it's hot!!!
