This is infinitely more dangerous than skydiving, but no one looks twice when I leave on the GSXR yet tells me daily I'm gonna die in the air.

Some of those crashes were so deadly. That takes some mad balls to go that fast

45 seconds..? unlikely. I mean, it's one of the few races that exist where people regularly die, but laps are like 10 minutes+ if I remember correctly... so 45 seconds is a tad ridiculous lol. Definately an amazing race though.. one of the last real touring races on earth

no way he could have survived, it looks like he smashed into that stone wall that runs perpendicular to the road..I would think your body would turn into mush after that much trauma at that high of a speed


granted the sheer weight of his testicles dragging on the ground caused the accident, so I wouldnt be surprised if this guy survived

Neither one of those guys died, youtube has a vid of the first guy in hospital talking about his crash and the vid info says no-one died on the video.. Those guys were lucky...

ahhhh riding a sport bike is the closest thing to skiing i can think of....the thing is it looks slow on film...when you're on top of one of those things its twice as fast.

i love racing thats awesome but at the same time just down right stupid. yes when you put on a helmet and a fire suit you know what you are getting into is dangerous but really you dont need to have a 50/50 chance of dying.

props to these guys but they have to be missing like a part of their brain or something!

Except sport bikes still look fast on film... I think snowboarding is the closest thing to skiing I can think of.

My mother actually suggested I get one instead of a car in high school, to save gas haha. I had to tell her insurance would ruin me as a 16 year old.
