...hahahahaha, no, that's just stupid. Someone steps out, or he loses control and stuffs someones car. Yeh, that's stupid. The guys on the Trumpets were on a closed course. They crash, they only hurt themselves, not innocent bystanders.

...I'm all for having fun, did a lot of that sort of thing when I was young. Mostly I did it on a race course, or places where no one else could get hurt if I f'd up. There are way too many videos on the net of people doing fun things in the wrong places. That just turns fun into stupid.

I Agree! There is a place for that kind of stuff and its not on the busy, daily driven streets. Ona a side note, the guy that rolled the Weekstang is lucky he didnt kill himself with no cage and net to keep his head inside when he rolled. bet he felt his head hit the dirt on that one.

I Accidently tried to Drift my CB360 a couple years ago in some morning dew grass and pulled a back muscle. Missed work for three days and woke up in tears from pain for a week and a half with back spasums. Not for me. Worst pain I have ever had in my life. I will keep the wheel spinning to four wheeled tire friers. Still I have great respect for the guys that have the ability to do such a thing and not endanger anyone doing it.

...I'll bet the next time they film, there WILL be a cage and net in that Stang. :laugh:

...I use to do a lot of drifting. We called it Speedway Racing, on dirt and on ice. That was the cats ass! Nothing like being totally sideways and IN control. Not like that knucklehead on the Hyabusa. I'm sure the neighbors were impressed with his skills, so close to their kids, cars and homes.

No luck, no skill. Just plain stupidity.

ok, yes it was pretty damn dumb.. BUT KEWL AS HELL!! i always wanted to do a launch like this on my KZ1000 and put it on youtube. Maybe... not... like on a residential street though all i got available to me as far as safe roads go are those old ass 2 lane highways out in the middle of no where. In Sioux City, the market for legal fun is pretty small.

i think i might have to build a kz stunter and see if i can do what i do on my 636. i havent seen and guys cutting cicle wheelies on them yet.
