    I cringed when I saw that #1 beginning with a shirtless guy on the back of that bike... imminent road rash makes my skin crawl sympathetically.

    Some of them were funny as hell though.

    you gotta ask, what the hell were they even trying to accomplish? was that one guy trying to wheelie a dirtbike into a woman's club or something??

    I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, the bus would explode! I think it was called, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

    Apparently it was a charity auction or something, he was trying to make a grand entrance I guess?

    Why squids running around in flip flops, boardshorts tommy bahama shirts, and sunglasses running 120+ on I95 is beyond me. Only in Florida! reminded me from #1

    How can people ride with no gear on is beyond me even denim jeans will not withstand asphalt.

    Each one of those videos could have started with, "Dude -- watch this!"

    And each of them included people doing stupid things....

    Some of the early ones involving dirtbikes looked like someone was filming a person learning how to operate a motorcycle for the first time. It doesn't seem to be uncommon for people to pop the clutch especially if they don't know how to feel for the friction zone.

    Which, if they're getting any sort of instruction, is an "instructor" fail just as much as a student fail. Telling someone to rev and release before they have a decent feel for the clutch is a dumb thing to do...

    That could also boil down to the student having jitters. I've ran across several people where you can teach them one thing, proceed to teach them another, and when they try to combine the two it's like they didn't learn a thing. This seems to be especially true when you have to coordinate effort between the right and left sides of your body. In fact, there was someone in my MSF class that did this very thing, popped the clutch with too many revs and crashed.

    number three I lost it, why in the world would starting out a stunt with something pressing on your nuts seem like a good idea? The rest of it is funny too, but I just don't get it.

    Got scared because he was closing fast on traffic. Grabbed a big-ol handful of front brake and locked the wheel.

    I've seen #2 on a couple shows on TV, and both those shows mentioned the story: that was actually inside a church, and the guy trying to handle the dirtbike is some youth minister. What he was trying to accomplish with a dirtbike inside the church, I have no idea. Miraculous that he didn't hit the people just to his right, before crashing into the table in the corner.
