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.

I'm pretty sure that if you checked with Mt Hackett he would say that if there was a risk on an innocent bystander being injured then he would not have gone ahead. It's one thing to risk your own life and limb, quite another to risk someone else's. No matter how good you may think carvers skills are, you have to admit, there was a chance, no matter how slim that he could have fallen onto a car. My opinion of that is that it is an unacceptable risk. Does he have balls for riding over it? yeah. Is he an idiot for the way he went about it? yeah

Did the drifter (who by the way is indeed a cock) have innocent people 2 or 3 meters away from him?

I think in the context of the TrustMe post, your miscreant would be the boy racer doing a burnout, and the drifters he is talking about are the guys that do it at the track in organised events.

HTH

Yep, there were people walking on the footpath a mere lane width and grass berm away
From the other thread (Carvers Legal Fund) we established that those below were aware of him, and there as support, yes/no?

But its still moot everyone crying over what MIGHT have happened...cotton fuckin wooll society all over, ban bull rush, insist on mouthgaurds for touch games, rubber matts in playgrounds.... No one was hurt, 15 pages of wasted text

If it was a harmless, risk-less stunt then it wouldn't have attracted so much attention.

If people hadn't been put in danger then the plod would simply have given him a ride in the padi wagon quickly around some corners to give him a scare and then dropped him off home without charges.

Why don't we all wait and see how things go instead of comparing this stunt - danger to public aside I reckon looked pretty cool and took some skill and allot of balls or a little brain.. you pick - to a pioneer adventure sport or the invention of the motorcycle. Seriously people wtf?

I do think it was funny that carver said he had a wicked stunt coming up and in response I said "what, taking your gixxer over the fairfield bridge humps?" - he had nothing to say, I've never seen carver so quiet...

To be fair i've seen more nasty injuries in touch than rugby... who ever said it was a non contact sport?

Bullrush however, that was fun

I'm beginning to think this thread has got a bit ridiculous with the comments coming from a bunch of bikers here on KB that unless they are hypocrites have never ever done anything stupid like exceeded the speed limit, especially in a 50km/hr zone where any kid could run out on the street etc etc. They are all going on about risk to other people yet how many of those posting have done things on their bikes that if analysed to death like on this thread in fact could be perceived as putting others at risk?

I have read threads on here expressing real sympathy/empathy or whatever for bikers that have just been plain dumb and crazy and have either got injured or killed and some have hit cars or other bikers (Coro loop, Rimutaka Hill or wherever the crashes have occurred) and they have seriously put others at risk and probably did daily everytime they rode until their crash, yet they get the no trashing, but a controlled stunt by carver seems to have been deemed the worst thing that a man could do on earth.

That's how it seems to me, am I right or are all the guys posting negative comments about carver indeed perfect saints?

It was Carver that went and SOUGHT out all the attention. The day after the stunt it probably would have been forgotten and passed into urban legend material, but due to an ego demanding some form notoriety, the noses of the authorites got tweaked, and in response to "nyah nyah nyah" from Carver, the authorities said "fuck you, time to make an example"

**mister.koz** · 18th February 2010, 17:44

Depends what you mean by negative?

And yes i am a saint, never done a thing wrong and my shit/poos smell like roses.

Controlled stunts cost money. He didn't want to pay in advance, so now the Judiciary is going to send him a bill. He still thinks it's going to be a bargain.

**mister.koz** · 18th February 2010, 17:46

I'd be interested to know how much it would cost to set up a stunt like that with all the tee's crossed and the eye's dotted.....

Ask him, he claims to have investigated that option, but decided that it was too expensive, and this way would be much cheaper.

Possibly the reason behind this epic fail http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...post1129637911

He should get in touch with Close-Up, maybe they will set up a tear fund for Carver?...
