Something tells me that if this is actual and not camera tricks, it’s gonna go wrong. Not that we aren’t up for watching people doing foolish stuff.

500cc is a helluva lot of power. I couldn’t believe they pointed out that the handlebars are padded. I’m thinking if he blows the landing, the handlebars are going to be the last thing going through his mind. Literally.

A young celebrity paying tribute to the military, that’s kind of surprising.

I used to ride a KTM 450 enduro - that bike had lots of go. A 250 would beat me off the line, but the 450 was so powerful on the stretches it was scary.
