#Jumping

We like getting outside and riding with our friends as much as the next guy, but something tells us these guys are taking the term “riding buddies” to new heights.

This guy is a motorcycle freestyle rider so it comes as no surprise that he might ride the Grom a little aggressively but going this big is outright crazy!

If you could pit any of the greatest motorcycle distance jumpers in history against one another, who goes down as the greatest of all time?  Cast your vote and feel free to let us know why in the comments below.

While concocting my What’s A Motorcycle Daredevil? editorial, it became apparent that not only do daredevils share a taste for jumping motorcycles, but also for the things they jump their motorcycles over. Taking a second look at these obstacles, from the mundane to the extraordinary, popular to obscure, I composed a list of the best and the most esoteric (worst?) objects daredevils choose to jump.

Not to disparage India’s Border Security Force (BSF) or the country’s national bird, but what is this peacockery? In news reports of Barack Obama attending India’s annual Republic Day parade, I repeatedly heard or read terminology such as “daredevil stunts,” and “dare-devilish manoeuvres.” These descriptions were in regards to the motorcycle performances during the parade by the Janbaz that can more appropriately be described as an elaborately dressed motorcycle drill team demonstration.

The Internet is full of videos of riders doing crazy stupid stunts – with various degrees of success we might add – that sometimes makes us wonder what drives young people today to take dangerous risks and then post the videos online for a bit of YouTube celebrity.
