Edit: It's also a good thing Red Bull sponsored them, otherwise how would they afford this log?

eggyolk posted:Please tell me if this design looks stupid or not. What about the engine meeting the frame halfway? I really like the form going over the handle bars. The woman is very pleasing in body shape, but seems incredibly out of place, leaning over the back. Seem like if that drawing were to suddenly come to life, the bike would immediately fall over. EDIT: Watched the women's xgames video, then the men's. It reminded me of why I found long way round so frustrating, charlie and ewan couldn't go fast enough nor could they seem to keep their feet off the ground. I must say that I find enduro cross to be much more entertaining than something like supercross. You know, the highlight videos seem oddly slow in spots, this video has the some of the footage at regular speed. No women though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83ZDmPEMKxM That Genuine Stank fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Aug 2, 2011 |

I believe theres another equally long/heavy counterbalance arm on the other end that keeps it from swinging all over the place, meaning you have what is basically a 6-foot helicopter-esque rotor on your helmet. Very dorky looking, but some of the best mounts are. Not for tight trails obviously.

eggyolk posted:Please tell me if this design looks stupid or not. I'd bring the engine a bit higher, mount the rear shock horizontally as mentioned, ideally parallel to the underneath of the seat frame/top of the tank, for better aesthetics, & I think the seat needs to be a bit further back to stop the rider's arms being too cramped. Also, you could lessen the rake angle a bit, too. I reckon that'd make the bike look a bit more hunched forward, & far more aggresive.

I especially like the end where the winner crosses the finish line and as they pan out someone is eating it in a mud puddle over on the right. The guys were crashing almost as much as the girls. poo poo like that is INCREDIBLY difficult to ride through/over/etc with any kind of grace. I'm happy I can get over a moderate sized log on my dirtbike without eating poo poo. The stuff they're riding? I'd be lucky to make a single lap.

SaucyPants posted:geez when you said Nick Apex and Mat Mekatrix I thought for certain you were just being a smart rear end and naming some unrealistic videogame characters or something Nope! Nick Apex is the stunter in the first video, and Mekatrix is probably one of the best motorcycle drifters on the planet. You can see more of him ripping it up on the MotoJournal 2010 Recce here. If you just want to watch him hoon you can skip to around 3 minutes, but it's all drat good and hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuJGKTtWtnw It has subtitles, but you should watch all of the Moto Journal stuff because even in french they're loving amazing.

Whats the over under on this being the new BOJ account? For real though, I'm inclined to agree that the GT750 was the better bike and motor.
