What I see here are mostly mistakes borne of inexperience and riders biting off way more horse power than they can handle... I don't see anything that would denote an experienced rider making bad riding decisions.

While perhaps entertaining for the MV crowd (and maybe containing a cautionary tale or two) I doubt many of us will take anything useful from the video.

One of the clips showed a motorcycle running into a parked car and actually moving that car out of its parking spot. WOW! I had no idea a motorcycle running at that speed could give enough force to move a mid-sized sedan! YIKES!

This video reinforced a lesson I had already learned from MV:

Do not attempt to ride your bike/scooter up a ramp into a truck.
