I see spoke of the stuff he's pulling, mainly the tight turns and going down the stairs, and it has me on the edge of my seat. No way I could pull any of that off. I would bust my ass down the stairs and run off course and crash on those turns.

I was pretty fearless when I was young but that's insane...

awesome.

the helmet cam doesnt really give you an appreciation for what he's doing.

typically for stairs the faster you go the easier it is.

check this guy out. guys got a screw lose and can ride.

crazy.

he gets on top of the bike in corners only makes him that much faster. something im trying to learn but coming from riding dirt bikes and motorcycles its hard to break the habit of leaning with the bike instaed of just leaning it over and getting on top of it. do that on a motorised bike and its a ticket for the ER. but once you get it fuck theres no feeling like it.

Well, sounds like you know the technique, just have to work on it. Its hard to commit to it, but when cornering in dry and wet the faster you go (to a point) the better you will corner. Put a little weight into it and make sure that tire hooks up. In the wet if you lock brakes and the mud builds up in your tire tread, you're done.

Dude was fucking flying! Wish they had a speedometer, so I could see just how fast he was going. Not only the technique needed to pull something like this is great, but also the reaction speed. To see where you have to go and what you have to do while storming at that speed is incredible.   :o

What I found most impressive here is that he was doing all that while the track was wet! I've busted my ass just taking a brisk stroll while it was wet out. Haha

He's just checking if he's too close to the black car...
