RightSpin Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Most of the clip is about smaller bikes, but some crazy dude on an HP2 is tossing it up like it's a lunch salad. Cool stuff. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I believe Jimmy Lewis is the guy making it look easy. http://www.jimmylewisoffroad.com/Jimmy_Lewis_Off-Road_Riding_School/Jimmy_Lewis_Racing_Inc._.html Pat Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Wow...amazing. And his FD is still in one piece! Shawn P.S. My leg hurts just watching this...lol Link to comment
RightSpin Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 It is amazing. Most of the other guys are hurling 225-250 lbs bikes up that hill. I don't know what the HP2 weighs, but I'll bet it's closer to 400lbs. Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 makes me want to put TKCs on the big strom and go rock a 12 o'clock wheelie across the construction by my office! Link to comment
artig Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I believe Jimmy Lewis is the guy making it look easy. The video flashed up the name Simo before the HP2 segment. That would be Simo Kirssi, who rides professionally for BMW, and is listed in the credits. The 12 o'clock wheelie guy is presumably Christian Pfeiffer, who is also listed in the credits. He does some amazing tricks, usually riding an F800S. Link to comment
Troper3 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Wow, is right! But I have seen some local guy go right with the KTM guys on their dirt bike. As Jimmy says its all about the balance. Link to comment
russell_bynum Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm pissed. I was up there running that a few years ago on my RT and nobody bothered to post any video of my event-winning run. You guys suck. Link to comment
GelStra Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'm pissed. I was up there running that a few years ago on my RT and nobody bothered to post any video of my event-winning run. You guys suck. After it was found out that you used Weiner Dog as your stunt rider, any vid crediting you was burned! Unless it was one of the easily-attained crash flicks! 'Course EVERYBODY'S seen those. Link to comment

SEATTLE_RIDER Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I'm sure that was Jimmy Lewis on the HP2. They only showed one brief head shot of Jimmy smiling at the camara, but he was listed in the credits. I had the pleasure of spending four days with Jimmy, Heather, and about 150 other GS nutters in Menlo, WA at the NorthWest GS Rider's clinic in Sept. Jimmy can do the same thing on his GS Adventure w/o missing a beat......... Link to comment
RightSpin Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Yep, definately Jimmy Lewis and several other world-class notables. Here is another clip dedicated to just the HP2's. Again, absolutely incredible riding. Link to comment

AZKomet Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 T'aint nothing...I do that with my RT all the time! Sweeeet! Link to comment
Tasker Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I had the opportunity to attend my first GNCC (Grand National Cross Country Racing Series) two weekends ago and it was a blast. Truly amazing what those guys and gals do on their bikes. If you find an event close to you, I'd suggest attending. It's a great afternoon! Link to comment
