Just found this on youtube, don't know if its ever been posted before but I thought it was pretty damn cool.
Will it Wheelie Mister?? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jM27fujbiXs#normal)
Was that Max Biaggi at the controls of that last one?
Awesome! That takes "mini-moto" to a whole new level!!
let the IZ jokes begin.......
I've been around R/C stuff of various types all of my life and those have to be the coolest and trickiest r/c devices ever!! Amazing skills to get them around a track.
Awesome!! Mad skillz at the rc controls for sure. Loved the on bike shots. Nice vid post. I'll be forwarding that one a lot! [thumbsup] The wet track was a nice touch as were all the wheelies. [moto] [bow_down]
That looks like a LOT of fun!

Come on, the camera work wasn't that IZ_.
That's so cool! Imagine how light the input on the controls must be...

More of a height thing - he could damn near ride those things...
That is impressive. My only point of reference is from ~1988 when I was into RC and a friend bought an electric RC motorcycle. It was extremely difficult to handle even though we raced RC cars.
I wonder what these were - gas or electric, and I assume some type of gyroscopic assistance?

I didn't post the vid so people could make fun of you, even though some of the comments are pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure these are electric but I found one vid (that I can't seem to find now) that sounded like it was gas.
The rider actually leans on this one, the only down side is the "training wheels". It doesn't seem that the bikes in the first vid have the training wheels.

Those riders, while fast, are holding their arms far too rigidly.

Too true. Maybe they could benefit from a Lee Parks class?

pretty sure they use gyro's now... i used to be into them when i was a kid and my uncle was really into them and even back in the early 90's they were already using what i'm guessing was 1st gen gyros. i'm positive that the ones nowadays must be leaps and bounds better than the ones that they had back then.
i have one or two of the ones that my uncle built back in the day... i'll post a pic up when i get home.

Yes but I think they discovered a cure to highsiding.
Just glue your ass to the seat, feet to the pegs and hands to the bars and ride it out...............................
I love how (in the first vid) the riders body position moves with the turns.
Even his head moves.
Very cool!
