Hey all, I thought you might enjoy this. This rider is a great kid with a lot of talent. I've had a lot of fun battles with him on the racetrack. Watch for him this year, he signed a deal with Ducati...he will be racing the 848 in AMA and stunting Monsters. His name is Aaron Colton, and he is a really nice kid with potential for a bright future.
This vid is pretty mellow but very cool. It's the first vid of him on the monster.
Lazy Sunday a shoot with Aaron Colton (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnYn9srRd3Q#normal)
Pretty cool video and stunts. I only wish you got rid of the music and hear the engine's music.

He already got that feedback. ;D
I envy the bike control.
and even for people who just don't like stunting, you HAVE to admit rolling burnouts into wheelies are just so damn cool.
[clap]

prolly wouldn't sound too good during the slo-mo parts... honestly, the music w/o the engine noise "works" for the lazy sunday feel.
1:40-1:50 is AWESOME
Some day when I grow up I want to be able to ride like that. Oh wait, i am grown up....mostly. [evil] That was very cool.
Beautifully done! Nice job AC!
I dig it, music works well.
Anyone notice that blue smoke coming out of the left exhaust at the 3:17 mark?
He has great control, and I wish him luck in AMA [thumbsup]
i take it that an 1100? I doubt th 696 has the power to play like that... at least not the stock 696

Well it doesn't have a single sided swing arm so it's not the 1100.

lol no that you mention it yeah it is about the size of a pie pan
Nice video. I really liked the slow motion shots. [clap]

It's a 696. Ducati sponsors a 696 stunt team. Like DP says check out the rear sprocket.
Big sprocket and some power are nice but I've seen him hop on a stock Zuma and do things that are just not right, [evil] or at least in theory...not even possible. ???
Aaron is a great kid and I wish him the best. [beer]
I really like that color scheme.
he used to ride with Jason Britton's stunt team. Then he worked with Chris Pfeiffer for a while, (I saw him at Indy MotoGP 2 years ago). He's been learning from the best!
That music is perfect for a lazy sunday ride:-) very nice video,amazing bike control.Thanks for sharing.
niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
favorite part is when he comes from 'off road' and wheelies the lil' stump ... dunno why, but I just love 'unconventional wheelie opportunities'
Geeze that was one long stoppie!!
Very cool! [thumbsup]
Man, I wish I had those kinds of skills. I'd love to get a bike to learn to stunt. And then find a buncha free time. And a new orthopedist.
after the 3rd time watching that video my GF came to see what ive been ignoring her for. she took one look at my face and told me "dont even think of doing that to my monster" then she went on to say something like if i i ever did that on her monster i have to move out. to which i replied "if i could do that, i wouldnt be living her to begin with"... apparently that was the wrong answer and now the keys for both her bike and mine are both hiding :-(
hahahahaha i have to start being a good boy again.

LMAO :) Yeah how do we get ourselves in trouble?
:o Seriously...... that was the most mind blowing stuff I've seen done on a 696.....an impossible goal to aspire for, and possibly kill myself attempting. My heart aways flutters when I see from wheelies!
very cool vid. i agree on the music i would rather hear the engine
very nicely done.. like the music too.
Don't want to stunt but the tail slide-180 thing will come in handy from time to time.
