Formation Riding..Could we do this?

A bit old but impressive neverless.
I can hardly imagine the hours needed for formation riding.

Haha, that was awsome!

You do see a couple of moments where they had a few accidents.. but that's completely understandable with the amount of bikers. Just amazing that none of them actually binned..

Nice find mate! +1

Yeah, it's right up there with synchronised swimming.

I doubt very much if any members of this site could get together and achieve bin free formation riding.

Now - prove me wrong.....

Awesome find Dude..

Geez... imagine the retakes - having to reset every bugger back up in position. I think we may just depend on CGI nowadays for anything this difficult

Actually seen a few of the Christchurch guys doing formation riding after a few hours on the rider development weekend we had, so the answer I would put forward is yes with practice and coaching.

Funny how a comment expresses disinterest and a lack of enthusiasm in the skill of the riders, yet the person making the comment is one of the first to claim accidents happen due to lack of rider skill, or is that just my observation.

Good find

I once watched the NZ Police motorcycle section doing a 'synchronised display' but nothing on the size of this... was still cool to watch tho.

I think that synchronised swimming is in a different league myself - perhaps of interest to avid swimmers but nowhere near as difficult to co-ordinate as this clip...
