Some of that was a bit naughty.....like riding after dark without lights
I was very impressed with the camera operator and how the stunt rider was followed.....
Just how do these guys find out they can do some of these stunts in the first place without going six feet under???
Cheers John

Most impressed I have to say and can see quite clearly why the saddle had been removed!!
I have seen young kids balancing on their bikes on top of telephone kiosks then ride off!!

Ian, remember this guy is highly practiced (and only in his early 20s)..... so NO copy-catting on the speedbike.... the resulting photos may not be very pleasant

Ah! Yes. Very prophetic, Jim
This is the result of my last attempt at stunt riding. Where was your wise advice when I needed it, eh?

Funny thing is that I did exactly the same thing 50 years earlier. Fell off a bike and broke my nose. I spent 50 years unable to breathe properly through one side of it. This time I broke it in the other direction and now I can breathe properly again
Still, I hope it's not going to be a regular occurrence every 50 years
