Check out this video that I found while looking for motorcycle stunts caught on tape. It starts pretty much like any other but wait until the image clears and you’ll have a big surprise!
I could name a lot of motorcyclists, racers, and stuntman who had a successful end of the year, but the name of one person will definitely be on everyone’s lips before they even start reading.
Robbie Maddison is an Australian stuntman who lives in the United States of America and who has prepared himself all his life in order to make the largest motorcycle jump that the world has ever seen. But let’s see what he had to say: “All the success and injuries over the years have molded me into someone who wants to achieve the biggest feat on a motorcycle ever.”
The last hours of 2007 brought to this adrenaline junkie the biggest success in its entire 20 years of motocross stunts. At the Rio Casino car park in Las Vegas, despite the wind which wasn’t in its favor” the 26-year-old Australian managed to let the numbers amaze everyone: 322 feet and 7 ½ inches from jump to landing. How’s that for a new world record motorcycle jump?
I know that’s summer time and we’re all happy cause it’s “riding with smile on our faces” season. But… we all know that’s not going to last for long. The cold days will soon be here and the fun will reach an end.
Well, it doesn’t has to be like this. Take a piece of paper, a pencil, sit down, watch this movie and take a few notes of what you can do with your bike to not get bored during winter.

The Honolulu Police Department responds to a "YouTube" video and warns a speed demon to slow down.
That motorcycle rider is catching more than just the attention the motorcycle community. With speeds topping a hundred miles an hour, police say it creates a dangerous situation for anyone on the road.
It may have started as a rush for a thrill-seeking rider, but the police and even the military are looking into who he is. And riders say they don’t like it because things like this put all bikers in a bad light.
It looks like a scene from a movie or a video game, but it’s real. A motorcycle going well above a hundred miles an hour on the H-3. The rider filmed himself and put it on "YouTube" for the world to see. Local motorcycle riders are outraged.
"A person that does that is not thinking," said Sue Radell, a long-time motorcycle rider who lives in Kaneohe.
"It’s insane," said Mark Hoppis, a rider and a Kailua resident. "It’s not right. It gives every biker a bad name."
Police say behavior like that puts everybody at risk.
"Very dangerous driving," said Lt. John Vines of the Honolulu Police Department. "Motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed. He endangered himself. He endangered traffic."
Continuing this type of behavior will lead to only one outcome.
"He will die and may kill somebody else in the process," said Lt. Vines.
Bikers say dangerous riding defeats the purpose of why they do it.
"Ride to live," said Radell. "Ride so you can ride again. There’s really nothing to prove to yourself or anyone."
On his website, the speeding motorcycle rider indicates he spent time in Iraq. Marine Corps Base Hawaii says it will investigate to see if one of its marines is involved.
