Red bull rampage, the most insane sh1t you can do on a bike, how do these guys learn how to do this stuff?
It's in your blood if you're a fearless snapper. Even in the 70's we had an old quarry we called the hills and valleys. It had a wall of death and a big dipper and we used to fly round it skimming the trees on bikes called trackers that we made oursleves.
A good tracker had cowhorns and a rear brake. you wouldn't be classed as good tracker rider unless you could wheelie 50-100 yards smoking a fag and could at least jump the lock on the cut on it. Well they was the rules round our way.
Saw that a few days ago, the mans a nutter. I go mountain biking, dalby etc but that's a different league.
Crazy dude. I love the fact at one off the blue flags looks like there is two options to the right crazy or left insane. Yep he goes left. How do the bike cope with the bashings, last thing you would want is one off your wheels buckling under the strain hitting all those bumps.
The bikes cope most of the time. Theres a saying when choosing a bike "strong, light, cheap - pick any two"
those were the days , i had the south downs to do mine on ,we used to go ta top of beachy head on the bends , not so much traffic about them days ,take the brake blocks out and see who could hold their nerve the longest , ended up in the stinging nettles a few times but still ear to chuckle about it .Just been sitting in bed watching superbike champinships and they showed a clip of all the worst non fatal spills of last season , very scarey stuff , 5 star nutters ay.
Fixed wheel so you could stand on one pedal and go up and down. Amusing for 5 minutes. Banana seats for those with Chopper envy...Racing handlebars upside down if your dad wouldn't let you have cow horns. Seeing who could make the longest skid mark on paving slabs (best surface for skidding).
It said on the video 'silver medal run'.....what did the winner have to do? I thought we did some crazy stuff when we were kids, but these guys have skills to spare.
