cmon now..if you've tried motocross racing you know damn well its not something anyone can do competitively.


I Mean, they can try at least.

but nobody would try to challenge a rock which do 2M high (you would not even give a try)

thats what I want to do :)

still dont completely agree but i see what you are trying to say.

only thing i've done similar to that type of riding is stuff at my local track like downed trees and we have some front end loader tires to climb over. stood them up how they'd be on the loader and climbed them...failing sucked lol. only managed it a couple times before realizing for me the risk didn't justify the reward.

It's too bad these guys don't live near Los Angeles.  There would TOTALLY be work available for them in the TV / film industry.


A good friend of mine went on some gimmicky reality show. I think it was master of champions? It didn't last long. The problem with it is the public at large lacks the understanding required to realize how hard it is. If they don't see huge air and multiple flips they assume anyone can do it. Its a lot like golf on a motorcycle. And no one watches golf on tv unless they play it.

I hear ya; there's SO many projects that are shot in the industry, and a whole lot either get canned outright, or indefinitely shelved early in to their run.

I was thinking more along the lines of stunt riding; people that can be contracted out when a particular shoot requires that specific skill-set.

They do. Look closely at the motorcycle chase scene in casino royale near the beginning. They used a trials bike for part of it.
