Hypermotard in "knight and day" movie. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz

[zooom]

Like him or not, Tom Cruise can actually ride. He has a tricked out 999R and a D16RR. Someone posted a video of him a long time ago flogging the 999 on the track. 

you talking about the same video where he took that dreadlocked douche from MTV out and advised him to pull the padding out of the helmet for to fit him with his dreads before they went out on track and he crashed?

The 20 minute wheelie in Yes Man was awesome.

Just saw that movie the other day. At the beginning of the ride some audio dude decided to dub in the exhaust for a Japanese 4 cylinder

ok why no helmets, gear, etc? guess i have to watch the movie... but bad example for the kids 

As a director I'll put in my input on this:  Yes it sets a HORRIBLE example, but when you put a helmet (and gear) on an actor/character it turns them into someone else for the audience.  The only movie I can think of with a character in full gear and helmet is Uma Thurman in KILL BILL, but at that point if I remember correctly she's being sneaky or evil or something of that nature.  In any case we often don't want to change the character in the mind of the audience so we keep helmets off (and we even complain about sunglasses but that's more minor). 

Let alone every one who sees it will say "Hey, they got a stunt double, that's why he/she's wearing a helmet!"

Oh yeah, Batman in Dark Knight wears a helmet, but I don't think it's DOT nor Snell ;-)  Was Bale wearing a helmet on the MV Agusta in that movie?  I can't remember.

yes he was.

BTW, Bale rides too... We had him at Streets Of Willow last fall... Super cool guy...

For SURE a helmet ruins it.. Plus the time to put it on, take it off, strap it, etc...

ruins the flow

[hbliam]

BTW< just watched the Middle video.. Thats Stunt Legend Jimmy Roberts. We built that bike.. heheh and his Hyper STreetbike. He also did TF2 on our stuff and Yes Man, and countless others.. Total Rockstar that guy!

Ernie Vigil might have something to say about who did the Yes Man Hyper riding.

Whats wrong with that photo?

[TJR178]

I just saw a commercial of Tom and Cameron on the Hyper riding through the ESPN studios.  It's funny, and yes, it sounds like a Hyper.

Keep your eyes peeled on that channel.
