Tried to embed the video, but it doesn't seem to want to work for me.  So, here is the link.

How does he do this?   [bow_down]

It's called skill, normally derived from lots and lots of practice. Either that or a deal with the devil but I'm leaning towards skill on this one. ;)

HO. LEE. make the beast with two backs.   [bow_down]

aw crap he is Sac Sheriff I better watch out.

ok - wow.


The first video is a pretty excellent and amazing example of skill.


The second one just makes me feel bad for the bikes....they look like they are just being punished and abused.

How so?

 :o

I wouldn't even walk on that trail.

Do a bit of searching on the board - there's more videos like this floating around. One from another officers motor rodeo where they had a follow-the-leader competition that was pretty hard core.


+1, I think I'd poop myself

I noticed the safety lines there for people to use when on the trail. I would be wanting to clip in myself.

Dedicated riding! Too dangerous for my wimpy blood.

I think I could do the 1st one with a little practice on the course and my old S4Rs.

Dolph     :)

There is something wrong with the third guy......I think his head is broken.

That a long fall! And it might hurt, a bit.

Uhhhh, not really... [roll]

that video on the side clip i think its the wide angle camera that makes it look so narrow look at 4:29, its actually pretty wide

That first video reminds me of all the squid that "tried" to run from the BMW cops on Deals Gap when they had them over there.

I'll raise you a ZX14.

That first video is AMAZING!  I probably couldn't do that course even on a bigwheel...  I have a new found respect for motorcycle cops. 

Ducatis can't do that course.  A bike must have a lot of lock to lock steering.  Not to mention the dry clutch will fry.  BMWs have a dry clutch but not for newbies.  They get a KawKZ1000 to flog.  I tried the cones on my BMW RT and they are difficult but with practice you can do it.  These LEOs at the rodeo are very good riders and they too have my respect.  They practice everyday they suit up.  Every U-turn, every chance they get cause it will save their life.  The trick just to get you stared is not to lean the body, lean the bike.

Not all Ducatis have the limited steering range of Monsters. Not all Ducatis have dry clutches.

My bike could probably do it. My bike's usual rider could definitely not do it.
