    ++ Death Wish ++ (High Speed Connection Advised)

    This yo-yo must not really care about much.

    **Note the MC-COP he passes about 2/3 way through vid.

    Crazy!

    not me......

    I was in San Diego for less than 12hours. I tried a bit of 'lane splitting' and a few runs of being a hooligan. my heart was pounding; it's not for moi. a seat-of-the-pants sort of video!

    Bummer

    And here's what another observer thought of the mess:

    What a stupid moron!! This guy needs his ass kicked. I mean shit, I like to "stretch" the bounderies a bit too, but this guy. I know some people are long on the adreniline gene and short on the self preservation gene, but this goes way beyond that. If I was one of those riders he came sooo close to, I'd be more than pissed. You can have all the fun and excitment you want to, but you don't have any business endangering anyone else to do it.

    Wow, I used to lane split as a natural everyday thing back in cali, never broke a sweat or even worried a little bit, but nothing ever like THAT. That was pretty crazy.

    Is that from the Gostrider videos that came out a few years back. I've seen the other ones where they fly thru Europe and they get cops to chase them all over the city. Here are some teasers if you haven't already seen them. The first one is short and loads slow.

    Guy in that video is the kind of half-ass out of control ass weasel the word "squid" was coined to describe. One of the other bikers he cut off, squeezed by or outright bumped should have kicked his front wheel for him. Anyone else notice just how many times he slid the rear tire, almost lost it and wound up fighting the bars? I saw better riding watching the ABATE class for first-timers.

    this guy has to be the ultimate street biker. i wonder what bike he's riding?
    it seems extremely maneuverable but at the same time does power wheelies

    unfortunately no one rides like that forever. it's only a matter of time before he's involved in a fatal accident.....

    I lane split in taiwan and in the s.f bay area and whenever there is traffic here in colorado. The thrill you get from lane splitting rivals that from riding on the track!!! :P

    I only lane split on the 2nd Tuesday of every month...

    And only against traffic...

    And at twice the speed of sound.

    :P
