Ya I kinda got that impression! 

  In the spirit of the Olympic Games we take you from Canada now to Germany where hooligans there show us how to make a tasty BBQ tire!  In Texas in August you can do this without an accelerant !

I found my next bike 

WOW - "Dream BIG" is a misnomer - shoulda been DREAM HUGE !! That is hilarious and inspiring all at the same time !  Orange County Choppers has nothing on this guy!!!

I'd be careful wanting one DesMon, Freud thought all us motorcyclists are compensating for something  ( beats me what that might be ) & this bike would be waayyyy over the top compensating if that were true!
Thanks for sharing - I got a huge smile from this guy & his great attitude !!!   

This is/was my neighbors friend.  RIP Jason Watts.  He died doing what he loved. Think of it what you will, but the kid did have some serious talent on a scooter.  Looked like he enjoyed what he was doing.  The video is local and the other rider with him is Burleson, TX local Patrick Stevens.

Sorry to hear about this... Tommy please pass along my condolences

Too damn young. Like my friend's brother who lost his son at 21 to cancer or a loss by scooter accident it's all just too damn young. I don't know the details but you said he passed doing what he loved to do... hopefully he was on his bike. As f'ed up as that is I hope I go doing what I love also. On the bike and no one else getting hurt. At my ripe old age it fits but not a talented young person with a full life ahead of them. I am sorry about his loss even though I never knew him. I would typically throw crap at those kind of stunts but I just can't given the connection between him and you. Just wouldn't be right. In his honor I wouldn't dare. He was really good at those stunts for sure. I am truly sorry he won't ever get to be my age and tell folks of what he used to do on a bike. May he rest in peace and may his family and friends somehow find comfort in his loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Thanks guys. I have ridden with a few of his friends and one of which is my neighbor.  They are definately hooligans no doubt. 

this is quoted from the Star Telegram
Jack "Jason" Northington Watts III, 28, a motorcyclist #43, passed away Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2007, surrounded by friends and family at a hospital in Fort Worth.
Jason began dirt bike racing at 12 years of age. By 16, he was racing all across Texas. From there, he became an accomplished mechanic and stunt rider, participating in the Batman Stunt Show at Six Flags Over Texas and then stunt riding at Six Flags Over Holland the year after. Jason continued as a stunt rider throughout the rest of his life. In addition, he also opened and operated Precision Motor Sports, specializing in the repair and maintenance of motorcycles. Jason was an advocate for all those (friends and strangers alike) who could not advocate for themselves; he would always stop what he was doing to help anyone in need.

   Just thought I would fill in the blank about how Jason Watts life ended! The story is from the Star Telegram 10/16/07 so it was just about a year ago.  Really love this video & yet really do not approve of the things they are doing on the street.  It's a paradox to admire the skill & fearlessness but dislike the recklessness!  I found myself watching the video through my fingers like I used to watch horror movies when I was a kid.  I truly hope that this video is more of a caution than an inspiration to riders.

Thanks for sharing Mr. T - sorry this young man is lost, he was very talented but that was not enough!

Story from ST follows:

GRAPEVINE -- A 28-year-old Arlington man died early Wednesday from injuries he suffered when the motorcycle he was driving hit a delivery truck and went out of control.

Investigators estimated that Jason Watts, a well-known area stunt rider and street biker, was traveling more than 120 mph when he crashed about 9 p.m. Tuesday on northbound Texas 360, police spokesman Lt. Todd Dearing said.

Witnesses told police that Watts was accompanied by another biker, and that both were speeding. Watts was flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, where he died about 3:30 a.m., according to the Tarrant County medical examiner. Police are still investigating.

Jeremy Durrett, 24, of Roanoke, who met Watts when they were teenage motocross racers, said Wednesday afternoon that he was the other biker. He said they were on their way to meet Durrett's father for dinner at a Grapevine restaurant.

"We were just riding how we normally ride," Durrett said. "Definitely not under the speed limit, but just cruising. No stunts or anything like that. I just looked back, and he was gone. It was the worst feeling in the world."

Watts fell in love with motorcycles when he discovered motocross as a young teenager and turned professional at 16, his friends said.

He would make his way on his dirt bike from his parents' home in north Arlington to the Mosier Valley track on the Euless-Fort Worth border, cutting through the woods and taking back streets to avoid police, said Ben Rodemeyer, 21, of Arlington. The two first met at the dirt track, Rodemeyer said.

Watts would make this journey, close to an hour's ride, with a gas can on his back and tools stuffed into his boot, Rodemeyer said.

Another street biker, Jason Lowrimore, said that he was surprised to hear about the wreck.

"He was experienced. He was probably one of the best riders in Texas," said Lowrimore, 23, of Arlington. "He had a big heart, too. I just borrowed parts from him last weekend. He just gave them to me, no questions asked. That's the kind of guy he was."

On his YouTube page, Watts described himself as an "adrenaline junky." The videos on the page show him popping wheelies on a freeway and passing traffic, while standing on one foot on the bike's seat.

"He had no fear," Durrett said. "He was born to ride.
