Yes, how in the world does someone get that good without breaking every bone in their body? My Buddy was in a local motorcycle trials club. They held one event of the World Round 80 miles east of here in Rennie Mb. Back in 1992. I volunteered to help and got to watch some of it up close. Amazing what they are capable of!

I think lack of fear and denial of possible repercussions is a big factor. When I was younger I remember thinking that if you have any doubt at all, (like in a stunt), you’re going to mess up, but if “know” you can do it and then just do it, it will happen the way you know it will... I think there is a real truth to that, but my problem was that I would always end up just thinking... “yeah, but what if...?” ...Plus, I think the younger you are, the better. But then there’s Evel Knievel... I think he broke pretty much every bone in his body... maybe he always had last second doubts during each stunt.? Edited May 17, 2021 by Venom

I was a cautious kid.. but a curious kid. When I had an idea like "I wonder what would happen if I rode a tricycle down a flight of stairs?" I'd always employ a stunt double. And if Jimmy made it, I'd do it too! ?

Venom Posted May 18, 2021 Author Posted May 18, 2021 This has got to be the shortest video on YouTube and it deserves to be here because it’s by one of our forum members. A89AKurt, thanks for this?...like you said, it happens so fast it’s kinda funny in its own way.
