    Where is Joe Nardy? or...

    Are you crazy enough to do these? (I KNOW that this is the wrong section to post in but I wanted to share with those that do not want access to the screwed up OT section that should be for posts like this)

    How many of you have always wanted to do these two things on a bike besides me and probably Joe?

      Not me.......I do okay when both wheels are on the ground but have never been good at jumps or wheelies. The link is from the new 'On Any Sunday - The Next Chapter' film that Cathy and I just saw this weekend. Robbie Maddison may seem like a raving lunatic but he is actually a very calculating 'daredevil'. His stunts are crazy but well planned and almost always perfectly executed.

          I wonder how many takes he needed? I just don't get that sort of thing at all. But then again, there are thousands of people who do that on two pieces of fiberglass.....

            One! But that was after a year of planning.

              I think he's earned admittance to Krusty's Inner Circle. (I hope one day I will.)

                  There were at least three sets of tire tracks on the ski jump ramp, so he did that trick at least three times. And the helicopter wasn't overhead for all the jumps.

                  The sudden switch to knobbies after riding up the bobsled track kinda bugged me. Just part of the whole frantic hyper-caffienated comic book reality editing style. I mean, damn, can't they stick with a shot for more than 1/10 of a second and let us marvel a little?
