Amir87 · 08-07-2008, 02:46 AM

haha wtf.

SoCali E36 · 08-07-2008, 04:08 AM

thats insane man. i think that is real as it gets

FrankoQ · 08-07-2008, 05:42 AM

Fake!

gonzo · 08-07-2008, 06:44 AM

Uhh.... It looks like the ejector button went off. He pops off like a pop tart for no reason.

oldaccount · 08-07-2008, 09:23 AM

um...wtf. When I click play, i get the "We're sorry, this video is no longer available" message at the top of the frame, and the frame goes black, but the I can still vaguely make out the video playing in the background. Is this happening for anyone else?

Real or not, that is possible to do...once u fall off your bike it'll keep moving, "gyroscope effect" and will slow down because your not on the throttle...and you can chase it down if ur quick enough and don't have a broken leg...i've done it before when i tried stunting but im too slow to catch up to the bike and it just falls over

BeeEmDubU · 08-07-2008, 12:13 PM

thats crazy, but it looks fake. why did he suddenly fall off like that?

darkphantom · 08-07-2008, 02:37 PM

probably took the turn too deep

rpcannibus · 08-15-2008, 01:54 PM

WoW that would be nice to actually see it happen.

MMAJNKE · 08-15-2008, 01:57 PM

fucken bs.. I own a bike and no fucken way if you slip off the back the bike leans itself back upright and you have time to run to it and jump back on lol..

It's possible, depends on how fast you were going...i've chased my bike down before when i fell off it trying to stunt. never successfully rescued it, but it's possible

Everyone keeps saying it's fake but the video looks real to me. Google and find out if it is fake and then prove it to us by providing a link.

icic but I don't know what speed he fell off at i'm sure when he went into the corner he was doing 40-50 my guess but hey like you said it says up for a couple sec then falls depending if it was on a str8 line like in the video.

thats what we call a burden of proof logical fallacy. lack of evidence to the contrary is not evidence in itself.

use some common sense.

1. the "notorious" text at the end of the clip should be proof enough its an advert for something.
2. notice how the two bikers slalom in between the running biker and the runaway bike. this is completely unrealistic and would never happen.
3. the biker is way too animated and just doesnt look natural at all. people dont look like that unless theyre acting.

edit: a comment on the youtube page claims the video is an ad (like i said in point 1) for arnette sunglasses. I cant access their page at work, but supposedly its under "footage".

KonigsTiger · 08-15-2008, 02:36 PM

Hahaha!! Great vid.

Tag · 08-15-2008, 02:49 PM

Suareezay,

I'm not saying this video is real but to flat out call it fake you are proving your own point. "I" think it looks real to me. Does that mean it's real? Of course not, but I never said it was. Other have simply labeled it "fake". If they said it's "probably fake" that's one thing but to label it "fake" without any evidence is also a logical fallacy. I wish I could find out one way or another because the curiosity is killing me, but I haven't been able to find anything else on it.

Until then, it's a mystery...

whos point besides my own would I be trying to prove?

and I did provide evidence as to why its fake; i didnt say just say "durr pruuv its reel yoo cant so its obveeusly fayk."

Spool · 08-15-2008, 03:13 PM

Like i say before, real or not, what happened in the vid is ABSOLUTELY possible...

those who rides will understand the physics of the motorcycle those who don't will not
