Kane Friesen is a Canadian stunt rider and the current record holder of the world’s fastest nose wheelie after managing to lift the rear end of his 2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R at the amazing speed of 137 mph and then coming to a complete stop. The previous record of 98 mph was set by Gary Rothwell in 2002, but like the wheelie master himself says: “my personal goal is 135 mph to set the bar so high up that no other rider wants to even attempt it any time soon.”

Former professional body piercer, Kane’s longest wheelie was of 12 miles, while he’s fastest stoppie measures more than 900ft.

Those of you who have always wanted to do a high speed wheelie won’t be inspired by this video!

This biker actually achieves a long distance wheelie at speeds in excess of 95 mph, but loses control after passing along a group of riders watching him. Amazingly, the helmet-cam that he used didn’t end up in flying pieces allowing us to actually see the crash through the rider’s perspective.

Funniest motorcycle crash by two arabs. These two should have never been on a motorcycle in the first place and if they are smart (something that doesn’t emerge from this video) they’ll be staying away from motorcycles as long as they live. And if not, you’ll be seeing them on our site…hopefully!

This guy has got it all wrong! Seeing stunts on the internet isn’t supposed to determine you buy a Kawasaki ZZR600 and try doing the same. In the happiest situation (which is also the one displayed below) you’ll simply fail and make a foul out of yourself. And the guy filming is a total disaster. He first goes to his friend, next to the bike and back to its friend. “Damn and shit” are apparently his favorite words.

This guy takes every single ledge as a challenge when training in the city on its trial motorcycle and the results are simply fabulous. It doesn’t stay in one place too much so that it won’t create a crowd and because the city architecture has a lot to offer, it wouldn’t be in its advantage anyway.

What I like about this video is the fact that it doesn’t try to present the guy as an expert, but as an experienced rider who, normally, makes errors. What would you give in order to have the ability to do what this character does and experience as much as he does in a single day of city riding? I’d sure give a lot!

I understand if you feel like riding on the back wheel all day and I can also understand the “pleasure” of riding in the rain, but bringing your own source of water in order to do this is a little out of my understanding capabilities. I guess it is easier to lose grip and the tire doesn’t wear that much, but I’d rather spend money on a rear tire than on medicine. Even so, the guy is a real showman.

Training for the 2008 edition of the Festival of Speed is Dougie Lampkin which is allowed to make a round of Goodwood House and it does it in the best way it can: on a trial motorcycle.

The ride offers viewers of the video the opportunity to get a feel of the objects and people inside, exactly how they are. Even better is that they see it through a motorcyclists eyes and that is pretty much how they’ve perceive it anyway.

The trial champion makes an impressive incursion composed of many wheelies, stoppies and 90 degree turns from one move and it is very enjoyable to watch, even though I think it missed lost it on the narrow stairs area, just before reaching the roof. But why don’t you check it out yourself?

It is everything for the show and it seems that the rider in this video definitely enjoys standing out from the crowd. It simply has itself set on fire and quickly does a tricky wheelie in order to keep the flames from surrounding it. I think at the movie “Ghost Rider” each time I see it and tend to associate this living torch with Nicolas Cage.

Brandy Valdez, a professional motorcyclist and almost a stunt man on its Kawasaki, makes us believe that everything is possible and that our daughters will soon ask for our bikes instead of our cars. The age (18 years old) is no barrier between it and the stunts, but we can only sit and enjoy how a passion grows together with each mistake and eventual fall sown in the video. Way to go!

Aspiring stuntman will be definitely attracted by this invention. The brilliant machinery will help you learn how to do a wheelie in complete safety. It is composed from a stock Honda CBR600F4i and a support which allows it to spin the rear wheel way above ground and with no risks involved.

Stuntman Craig Jones enjoys a few tricks on tricky surface: ICE! And if you’re thinking what I was thinking when I first got this movie, I have to tell you that yes, the nails in the tires do all of that possible. Impressive!

Have you ever prepared a kiss for so long? Or have you even tried to kiss so many ladies in one day? The guy in this video clearly did both and although the girls seem to like him and he’s no stranger to the handlebars, things don’t always go perfect. Check it out!
