There are tons upon tons of “stunt videos” on YouTube. Someone pulling a wheelie. Someone who drifted a corner or two. It almost gets boring, but it has an added effect: after seeing hundreds of bad videos, you start to notice which ones are the really good ones. They don’t have to be fully professional, but you look for the quality of the stunts, the creativity of the riders/drivers and the camera crew, and the whole package, and that’s what we have here. Get past the music and you have extremely skilled stunt motorcycle riders and a drifter in a BMW that put on one hell of a show. StuntFreaksTeam is out of Finland, and to say that they can ride their asses off is doing them a disservice. Take your pick: motorcycle drifting on both superbikes and dirt bikes on street tires. One-wheel balancing and riding. Fuel tank headstand. And that’s only some of what you are able to catch in one sitting. These aren’t easy tricks that anyone can do…these are the kinds of things that require a ton of practice and occasionally a broken bone or two to perfect. The video itself is pure mania…wide-open throttles and tons of burning tire. But what else did you expect with a film title of “Burnouts Stunts and Shit”? It’s not false advertising!

And shit – well you got that right!
All the tyre smoke and hideous noise gave me a headache and Iv’e seen better stunts from my local M/C at closing time after 10 pints of strong beer.
I’m off to set fire to me Zimmer frame and dive off me roof – see ya!
