That worked dirty, and those are some craaaazy SOBs, either that or just plain dumb.

The second one worked for me, by right clicking and doing a "save target as".

If you click the 2nd link, it takes a sec or 2 for it to start WMP up, that is on T1, so if you're on 56k, it may take a few mins or so.

Those guys are nukin' futs. I never had a problem doing wheelies on my rocket, but those are crazy endos and sitting on the bars, just crazy! I thought that T/A stunt was fake too. Never seen a car aligned to go that straight in my life.

Looks like he still had to do some crazy stunts to get the footage, even if the car wasn't on auto-pilot.

Yeah, u tell me how that car stayed so straight, and look at the end, there is a stoppage in the tape at one pt. And then it resumes, good editing but not perfect.

I think there's no doubt the guy did it. However, at the end when he gets back in and takes off his helmet you get a glimpse of someone in the back seat who's likely purpose was to steer the car during the stunt. After all... not having someone at the wheel would be just plain stupid.

Those guys are on the borderline of being extreme riders and retarded. I better stop talking because if I had a motorcycle I would be doing the exact same thing except I would end up killing myself.
