Couchrocket Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I can't make up my mind if THIS guy is skilled "and" nuts, or just plain NUTS! Maybe he attended "RidingDumb" somewhere in Europe? Link to comment

Boffin Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I can't make up my mind if THIS guy is skilled "and" nuts, or just plain NUTS! Maybe he attended "RidingDumb" somewhere in Europe? According to the credits it was made for Canal+, a major European TV channel. Lic Besson's name also appears in the credits. This is as they say, 'A Professional Rider under Controlled COnditions'. Very impressive ending! Andy Link to comment
MarcS Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 This is the intro to the French movie Taxi by Luc Besson. It's the movie the American version with Queen Latifah was inspired by. Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 That wasn't Haverkamp on his Bergman, was it? On a more serious note, skilled nuts until he crashes, then he will only be skilled as his nuts will be gone! Link to comment
philbytx Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Going back to my "Mod" scooter days in the 60's (before I went "Rocker" and got a Norton!), he would have been considered a real prat putting his leg out like that Link to comment

Bill_Walker Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I'm guessing the director told him to lean it until it threw sparks. The stunt guy probably knows he could go faster hanging off, or kissing the mirror, or whatever. Nice dismount, though! Link to comment

In fact, it looked to me like he even had little sparking rods (curb-feelers) hanging off the rear swingarm. Link to comment
Paul De Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Did I hear that right? It sounded like he was clicking through gears......no torque converter for that guy. He has a real nice oval track cornering style for sure. Oh yeah, crazy like a fox talented is my vote. He made some cash for that ride. If he was doing for free he would be just talented and nuts.
