Also PS this is his 2nd time on a track, and probably 20th time on a bike. EVER.

Great stuff, thanks! I really enjoyed the different perspective of seeing Thunderbolt from a bike.

I was on that track last Friday but in a car so I can only imagine how different it must feel on a bike.

Ive been racing Karts for years now, and Cars are fun too (if you have enough $$) but bikes are amazing...It makes cars seem like your on your couch playing a video game. More physical, bigger rush, bigger risk...

Thats a pretty sweeet vid.

amazing vid

whats the point of the covers on the tires?

StreetEG · 04-22-2011, 07:38 PM

THey are tire warmers--- so you can go out first lap hard without worrying about crashing..... unlike cars --- if you get wheelspin its i much bigger problem

Makes complete sense.

Very very very cool video.

I am guessing the action shots were with go pros. What camera did you use in the first scenes?

Sounds like dramatic action buildup sequence #13. By that I mean, check out sites like http://www.killertracks.com/

Turn auto iris off on whatever cam you were using - unless that overexposure was intentional, then your all good!
