Motorcycle Gymkhana

[Perfect Balance]

I don't know how much people have seen this, but it's new to me, since I've only seen it with cars before. I'm pretty sure it takes a lot of skill though, since I wasn't able to do this on my dirtbike without falling over or putting out my feet to catch the bike if it started to fall. Confidence in a must.

Theres plenty of videos in youtube, I just found one that went straight to the action.



EDIT: I know this isn't exactly automotive, but we don't have a motorcycle section.

EDIT: Don't try this in tourist trophy, it doesn't work.

I thought motorcycles were automobiles..... At any rate, that's some really impressive riding. Smalll bike, but a lot of skill being shown in that video. 👍 to the driver

well, I couldn't imagine him doing that on a chopper, now, but yes, I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that.

That's some pretty impressive balance and riding skill.

This is what it looks like on a dirt bike. It's called Trials riding:


The people are standing around to make sure he doesn't put a foot down.


In this one you can see the rope marking the boundary of the course he's got to follow.

This one is a little longer and offers a good overview.

If this kind of thing floats your boat, look up Dougie Lampkin... He's THE man... Indoors stuff is particularly astonishing.

I've seen that before, I meant doing literally what they were doing in the video I posted, but with dirtbikes.
