Is this possible or real even?!

Can't remember where I found this pic (oissible Aloinestars site) but 'tis beeotyfool!

I know little about circuit bikes but surely the suspension can't handle this kind of carry-on?

Wow, I'd like to learn that move!

I rather think it's some stunt or the beginnings of an out-of-control crash?

The really really fast riders get both wheels off at the top of the mountain at Cadwell Park circuit in the UK, mortals just have the front coming off the ground.
Depending on your suspension and how you land a road bike will do it, but you may blow your fork seals (as with wheelies). I'll stick to working on rubber side down and both wheels in contact with the road.

Deb, have you watched any of the bike racing in Northern Ireland. There was some on a few months ago and the riders were completely on the edge - bikes squirreling around over bumps etc (on a road circuit - no runoffs just like Isle of Man).

Many were getting airborne in some parts, headshakes, the works, all at mach 9.

Very exciting to watch !!

Suspension isn't the problem, it is your chain snapping.

Many of the riders will get airbourne on the IMOTT race over the bridges and crests.

Also - it is common to see pics of the MotoGP and SBK riders getting airbourne of the ripple strips on the race tracks when cutting tight lines.

Neither of those thumbnails is going to end well...

Truely - ya think???

Have seen the whole video of the one on the motorwar and it was not pretty. He was doing a wheel stand that got away on him

as cool as motoX air stunts are, seeing a full airborne road bike (and I don't count Torque!) is AWESOME. Respect for riders that have the guts to take hills at that speed and the skill to land them.

Wow never seen anyone get so much air from a low side before!

Nice how he gets a bit of a "boost" from the rear of the tumbling bike!!! Extra style points there
