Stone walls, iron fences, bumps, grocery stores, all in a days work. Adrenaline is an amazing drug.

I've ridden motorcycles all my life. From dirtbikes to crotch rockets. Hell, I own 3 and they make me feel like a toddler with training wheels on a bike. I started riding a Honda 50cc dirtbike when I like 6 years old. I'm now 40 and they make me want to put my bikes up an never get on them again.

Slap yourself a couple times, take a cold shower and a big shot of whiskey and forget you ever said that!

What's funny is we can't get Jimmy to go on a dirt bike ride with us, say's we're crazy.

Holy sphincter pucker! Rubbins racin, but at 190mph with a row of trees on one side and brick wall on the other, that's just insane!

Un freakin believable!!!
Those guys are about the biggest adrenalin freaks I can think of!! But I gotta say the spectators aren't too bright also, that close to bikes that fast and "on the edge"!!

Btw- how long is the race?

I have a movie in my collection called TT3d: closer to the edge. A documentary about the race in 2010 i think and guy martin, you see him in the first video with the big sideburns.
Really awesome to watch if you ever get a chance, plus all in high def 3d.

On average at least 2 people die every year, but you'll never stop them from doing it.
