  • Motorcycle trials video

    Even if you're not into it this video is worth watching, it's a little long at 11+ minutes, but lots of incredible stuff.

    That proves beyond a doubt that nothing is impossible if you just don't believe that nobody can do it. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before. How do you stay out of the fracture unit at the hospital long enough to get so good at that? That's something I haven't figured out about a lot of crazy sports.

      Very impressive!
      Their balance is amazing - something that I have never had very good control over.

                A big percentage of those skills has to be mental, being able to see in your mind how you're going to acomplish the task in a split second. I am pretty currious about the motorcycle though, I didn't see him working a clutch, so I'm gussing it's centrifugal? and the throttle....is it a thumb operated? I imagine a twist could get you into trouble.

                  They have a normal clutch.



                  Check out the 'revolutionary' side valve 4 stroke.... aka the standard layout for Briggs & Strattons for the last 50 years or so. lol Super neat bikes though.

                    Wow, that just adds to the complexity.

                      When the black streak shows up on Lincoln's face at Mt. Rushmore we'll know how it got there
