I'm so not surprised that the video was shot in Poland.
I think your idea of reckless would be very different if you went for a typical drive over there.

I think you don't understand what the terms squid means. I personally dont drag knee or speed at a ludicrous amount, so just like saying stunters are squids is a generalization, so is saying that everyone speeds. I've said this before and I'll say it again, It takes alot of skill to stunt. Just that doing it on the street is irresponsible and so is speeding on your motorcycle/car.

Stunting = fine on closed roads/not on public roads

Speeding = fast on the track

Just because you've been riding for 30 years or whatever doesn't mean u can pick up and start doing a wheelie/stoppie tomorrow. So who's the ignorant one here? You for thinking the right way to ride a sportbike is only ur way.





EXACTLY!!! 140+ draggin a knee on the highway is ok, but a 15-20MPH controlled wheelie isn't... people need to grow up and realize their way isn't always the right way just cause they can't do something.
i apolagize if I came off that way, that was my mistake and I did not mean to imply that there is a certain way a motorcycle should be ridden.

I still have yet to see any stunter say that stunting on the street is wrong. I for one feel it's wrong and so is speeding/using the road as a track. This has nothing to do with whether I can stunt or not.

can't we just agree stunting is wrong on public roads and lots, regardless of how good you are?

and that you should be in full gear at all times, regardless of how good you are?

just because we all know the next driver is probably not that good... god, i've even had a grandma block me into a parking spot one time - EPIC FAIL!

Yeah, no joke! I've been there, driving on the roads scared the shit out of me, and I was a passenger

great use of camera work i admire that, but when it comes to actually rideing the bike fast and not just in a straight line, i doubt any of them can, even just looking at the guy in the suits general seat and foot position suggests he too cant ride
