Destruction of property, reckless endangerment, etc.....


Nevermind that when (not if) they get hurt, that society likely picks up the bill, just what they needed was a glorification film. :(

This is a tough one for me.  I want to HATE the street stunting crowd.  However, any of us that have carved our way up a blind canyon at speeds that challenged either our skills or our tires, have put others at risk. 

I will never forget the kid who tossed his GSXR under the front of a young couples truck in Joshua Tree.  I spent an hour trying to keep the kid alive.  While the kid spent at least as much time holding his girlfriend that was nearly catatonic from shock. 

The kid that broadsided a water truck on Angeles Crest at high speed.  He bent the truck, the driver has to live with that image.  After many years of "playing" motorcycle I have seen enough to know that we do not just endanger ourselves when we play to hard.

These days we have movies that glorify everything from robbing banks to killing people.  Where do we draw the line on what is right and wrong?

Sorry that got to deep.   [coffee]

Two things I don't do.  Keyboard bullies and hypocrites.

It does give way to deep thinking. A lot of us grew up raising hell thru our suburban neighborhoods on dirt bikes and mini bikes. Looks like these kids are doing the same things but with much ballsier moves, esp with how the title comes about for the film. Seems better them doing something requiring skills rather than running around robbing stores and setting shit on fire.

I don't put these guys as necessarily "stunters" because the root of what they do is more in the nature of their disregard for authority and how they are expressing it....I have to give Stunters more credit as more of them seem to be containing a majority of their antics to parking lots and other non-trafficed areas. The other distinguishing thing me for me as to why they are not "stunters" is because they are using dirt bikes with generally no street legality and stunters use a streetbike generally with a tag ( if it is on the street).

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Yea, well my hemorrhoids spark conversation but they sure aren't good.

Y'all are a bunch of haters. This looks dope. It's a movie, it's got bikes. I sat through a few Fast and the Furious, this already looks to be better.
M620 turned M800 but then back to M620 after the M800 died at 110k, and now to Multi 1000.
