    I think they were going a fair amount faster through those corners than you would expect.

    Do they have skill? yes

    Are they fuggin stupid, yes.

    I can understand people getting kicks from riding like that. It'd be one hell of an adrenalin rush!

    wonder if they're dead yet?

    wouldn't mind being able to ride like that... at a trackday, with a fair few more wheelies in there too.

    First sound comment with fair judement as opposed to "I've got bigger balls" comments so far

    But leaving that behind, they are still idiots.

    Should be made into a "WHAT NOT TO DO" video, pity it didn't end in blood or carnage, then it would really serve a purpose....

    Still...Makes me glad I'm not aspiring to ride like that.
    If your looking at Bike Comms, have a read of this review..

    I second the not impressive vote - the oncoming car at the end looked a whole lot closer than what the truck was.

    the big handful of brake was amusing, you even heard the rear wheel hitting the deck.

    kinda reminds me of the odd KB ride (I've seen) actually.
    It is what it is

    Looks like Laava and GTR Boys' riding to me. Similar to how they rode up north the other week

    I doubt they will live to film many more vids, glad they aren't in NZ. Thats some seriously dodgy riding. All balls and 0 skill.
    Amen, that guy with the camera seriously needs some time on a smaller 2-stroke to learn to shift, overreving underevving jeez. clearly just relying on the power and being a lazy and somewhat dodgy prat, nearly lost the front at least once in that.

    The truck moment, while iffy - wasn't as bad as some of those blind corners they were playing roulette on I've been a fair whack closer to the side of a truck oncoming, though not by choice

    The fellow up front seemed to have a much smoother riding style IMO. Still complete muppets, I hope they only take themselves out when the time comes. Or better yet take it to a racetrack.

    That vid link is good, although some what dramatic at the start it seems to have some good info.
