I saw this video, and think this would be a great display at Amerivespa. Because things are now in color, think how much better this will look.

Meet in the parking lot of Finley Stadium at 8AM for practice.

Not that there's going to be a ton of BBS regulars there, but i think at least one of you would get pelted with a beer bottle by one of them if you tried this ... even if it was done as early as 9 in the morning.

Oh..These were actually the last exercises we had to do in our Oregon Basic Riders Training class. That's what makes it harder than the regular MSF classes in other places, I think. But it was good training.

The only problem is that when one of us screwed up, it took us an hour to get things straightened out again!!

Fricken WOW.

Great 1950's fun, I would say! -And no friggin' commericials either!

are you kidding, that was rad. i for one would love to see some sort of drill/stunt team like this, or how they had demo teams that would would do human pyramids or chains between bikes...that stuff is just cool no matter what bike your on.

Exactly what I was expecting - think of how much money could be made recycling those bottles.

Yeah that was wicked cool. Thanks for the link - it's going 'round the office as we speak.

I'd love to see that done!

That was intense.... thats really all I can say

If you thought that was good, watch this:

You need to get ~1:30 into it before they start doing the "crazy" stuff.

I so want one of those courses in my backyard! And I think these guys could kill the DMV road test in the US.

......ahhhh...just an Hour .......And was that to disassemble all the bikes once they were in a pile.. ....just joshin......Can you imagine how many "takes" they had .........This is the marker for "ultimate trust" with your fellow rider.....i really doubt that could be duplicated today

ps: And imagine what someone watching that on lysergic acid diethylamide for the 1st time over and over on a loop would see........not that i would know ....its just a thought.....major Synapse firing goin on

Rich, Icehawk,

Good stuff. I could watch that all day.... but for the job thing....

great video find . wonder how many crashes happened during practices

Heck of a MSF class there, but it needs more Benny Hill music.

The guy in yellow is pretty good.

Note to self - check availability of miniature golf course for next rally.
