Bike Stunt Show

There was the motorcycle stunt show at the fair grounds today. I went with a few other bikers. Pretty much the only bikers that actually rode up since it was 40 and windy outside. The guys got some skills, but the show just sucked ass. They ended up starting 30 mins late and had almost no organization. The turnout was quite low and 1/4 of the stunts went bad because they couldn't get traction because of the smooth slick concrete surface.

Wasn't worth my $15 bucks. Most of the time they were just dicking around like when my friends and I have some fun. If they wanted to charge that kind of money, perhaps they should have some sort of choreography... About halfway into the show I was getting sleepy and yawning. And talk about motorcycles being indoors with after market pipes...

The motocross guys were actually good. They actually had some organized show, but most of my pictures are bad due to poor lighting. Getting shots where they are in mid air, a mix of bright/dark background, and light from artificial and natural sources is very hard to do.


The 14 yr old kid who stunts bikes. He was pretty badass actually. Funny how he can barely see over the handle bars.

A Harley being stunted... sadly 3 wheelies into the show, the bike broke down due to technical difficulties. There goes Ray Price's Marketing dollars...

Yeah... he's a squid... at least he's a cool fellow, talked to him a bit before the show. One of my other friends hanged out with him after the show. This guy showed my friend how to do circle wheelies correctly on his beatup honda hawk.

End of the show was just a big orgy of burnouts... So much smoke in the air that it set the fire alarms off and the Raleigh Fire Department showed up.
