The dude even had studs. You can do the same on liquid water (though not from a standstill). Just cause I haven't tried it doesn't make it any more remarkable...

Well, give it a go, and report back.

Anyone could do that with that bike on that lake with that team. All that rider had to do was flick his wrist and yelp every time he changed gears.

We have already seen what a lame result that yielded.

Hence my yet unanswered question: what's so special?

Contact them and see if "anyone" can make an attempt on their bike.

I hope this isn't a threadjack but I thought you might like to see what we frozen-brained Canucks do on snowmobiles to entertain ourselves.  190 mph on pretty much glare ice just about a 10 minute ride from my house.  Gotta love a two stroke on nitrous!   :o
