Judge shocked at biker's bridge stunt - The Mormon's Bridge Video

[scumdog]

Emotive clap trap.

Some of the first bungy jumping in the world was conducted off the Greenhithe bridge-without prior consent.

Next thing you'll be telling us that the first motorcyclists rode without a licence......

[trustme]

Out of the depths of my memory , they legged it before the plod arrived at Greenhithe & there was no you tube to publicise it in those days. I think they also jumped from the AK harbour Bridge but the coppers were on to them & they got prosecuted for it but I could be wrong , sort of sticks in my memory because my dentist was one of the AJ's original sidekicks & one of the original jumpers.

The emotive clap trap as you call it reflects the opinion of the majority

Drifters have cred, boy racers doing burnouts don't
Racers have cred , street racers don't
Stunt riders have cred , Carver doesn't

Aw, c'mon, now you're ruining an argument by using logic - sheesh, this IS KB, logic don't come into it!

[Big Dave]

but loves to talk about him more than anything.

Well that's just damn inconsider...........

[trustme]

Sorry I won't let it happen again. Please continue dribbling at will.

If you take spb age into account.
I would say its him!

[NordieBoy]

Or even a reg or ACC

My memory is clear on the subject. I remember watching the guys jump from Greenhithe bridge, back in the days when the righteous were collectively a lot younger in age, and the general populace allowed to skin their knees without a bunch of whiney old trouts going apoplectic.

They jumped many times the night we were there without police intervention or geriatrics waving their walking sticks.

Do not assume you speak for KB, or the wider biking community. Carvers stunt poised no more danger to himself or others than the average rider experiences at a track day.

>>Carvers stunt poised no more danger .... or others.<<

Disagree. And that's the crux of the whole deal - some schmuck driving on the bridge could have seen him, freaked and crashed - or possibly been fallen upon.

Nobody cares what happens to Carver - it's the potential to implicate others that they are making an example of.

Congratulations , best piece of emotive clap trap I've seen in ages.

Well clearly you dont know the bridge, one side a road with people in cars the other side a footpath with people walking.
It was dangerous and it was a stoopid thing to do, a motorcycle falling on your head would certainly kill you, a motorcycle falling through your windscreen would likely do the same thing.

He knows he's in the poo, and has expects that he will get a fine and some disqualification as a consequence. He considers it a bargain, in return for some publicity.

The interesting thing will be to see how well he has calculated what the likely sentence will be.

If my Aunty possibly had balls she would be my Uncle. But thats one gigantic fooken IF!

Circular pointless arguements are meeningless.......There are more than a couple of folk on this thread who are more interested in sticking to Carver, than having a cogniscent, and logical disscusion about the bridge crossing event.

We celebrate A.J.Hackett as a pioneer in adventure tourism, yet the bungy could have snapped causing harm to others. It did'nt and A.J went on to form a new sport, employee a good number of Kiwi's and make a shit load of money. Same thing applies to Dirty Sanchez, Jackass and the red bull events.

[Ixion]

Yes indeed. An ad homoinem argument if ever there was one. Sorry, couldn't resist it.

So tell me Trustme, did THIS drifter who fucked up MY legacy from a mere 200m away (got to 150kmh DRIFTING in 200m of my Mums street from launch to crunch) has any fuckin cred at all?

Carvers stunt was utterly harmless by comparison, his mormon few mates were the people on the bridge, get the fuck over yaself

Go Carver, your vanity is a bit much but ya stunt rocked

This 20 year old cunt in a 700 horsepower Sylvia ruined my utterly imacculate Legacy, was over the limit by half, and police estimate 150kmh impact. Sunday night 11pm...drifters....pfffft fuck em all shoot the cunts
