Default Have you really looked at..

I have been looking at all the videos on U tube and I am astonished at what they are doing on the street, off the street and wherever! I was really amazed at first watching this one www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwsnk1pdnts but then I started thinking what are we teaching these young kids? Is this right or wrong or am I just getting old?

Yeah, it is crazy that 90% of all the motorcycle wreck videos on there are of crotch rockets failing at wheelies.

I really have no problem with them doing crazy things, it's their choice of location I have an issue with. That being said, I seem to see more and more of the stunting type videos showing a closed off or private area. Maybe some of them are starting to learn?

Thinning of the herd...
Cleaning the gene pool....
Some of the chit sure has to hurt or even worse, but hard to feel sorry for them!

Ok, so how does this work? Dude wheelies by a cop (0:31), on a four-wheeler, in downtown Harlem, NY. Passes another cop at 1:29 (unmarked) doing a wheelie. Then he gets on the interstate and does more wheelies. How in the world ...

I don't see a problem with that as long as they teach the kids NOT to "stunt" on the streets and teach the importance of wearing the correct safety gear while doing those type of things. Age isn't a problem either. Many people start out with motocross and other inherently dangerous sports at a young age. There also seems to be a lot of animosity towards sport bike riders as well. I'm sure it's just towards the ones who ride recklessly on the roads. I can see that it's the other way around as well when I'm out on my CBR. I can't count how many Harley riders and others who are bar hopping on their bikes. That is just as dangerous as riding 100+ and popping wheelies on the streets imo!
