Quote from: Hi-TTaking risks is not stupid- how you take risks can be.  .

I've heard it said that the biggest risk you take every day is getting out of bed.  After that, things just kind of fall into place.

(That and not wearing a seatbelt!!!)  :kiss:

Hi-T, my only comment in reference to what you said was "Only reason he didn't die is because he was lucky."  Which is why I didn't quote the whole thing. The guy in the clip is a stupid person who didn't end up dying because he was lucky, that's all.

The rest of the post wasn't directed at you, it was directed towards anybody who thinks that wasn't a completely stupid thing to do. My apologies if you interpreted it as "flaming" you, that wasn't the intent.  

Cool-

Forums are kinda tough- it's easy to misread something or take it the wrong way...

Anyways...

Quoteyou may think that this is harsh but if you loose controll of your vehicle its your fault, even if your the driver of the van and your whole family dies it is still your fault

I see...so it would be the guy in the van's fault the idiot on the bike plastered himself and his bike all over the road in front of him...interesting.

why would it be the guy in the vans fault the motorcycleist "plastered himself and his bike all over the road" :dunno:

Quoteit was more than luck he was wearing leathers
i think that has alot to do with his survival

So his leathers would protect him from being run over by a car? I gotta get me a set of those!![/quote]

i believe we are referring to this video
HE WAS NOT HIT BY A CAR
therfore being run over by a car has nothing to do with this video

Quote from: JohnNSIt saddens me that people are defending this idiot. I try to be supportive of stunters cuz I'm all for it in the right places....

you don't have to lie to kick it :nana:

Quote from: JohnNSit seems most of them really ARE stupid judging by what I've seen and heard/read lately

Quote from: Matthere is actually his wheelie was really smooth he just kinda lost control when it was up there maybe there was a gust of wind that ficked everything up
you don't just do smoth wheelies like that without experience especially on a bike you just got

This is a classic.  Ah yes it was really a smooth wheelie, you can tell he's experienced, oh until the part where he kinda lost control and crashed  :dunno:  If you're gonna pop wheelies with your ego, it's best to have the skills to back it up, gusts of winds or whatever.  This guy didn't.  By definition, a skill-lacking dumbass.

jeff

have you ever ridden in strong gusts of wind they almost f%$k you up when your on both wheels let alone on one

Thanks for proving my point incredibly well Jabba, you f*@&ing idiot. Nice sig pic  :guns:  :guns:

People never cease to amaze me
