    now to make it XSive....

    i would do it with a beanie helmet, a pair of a**less chaps, a xs11 patch (as a butt flap....this is a family oriented show!)....and no shirt....actually i would really like to find the crash and burn episodes.....like when he hits one of those stone walls, or slides off into one of those valleys.....now that would be good watching.....maybe this dude should show up at our local soap box derby and race the 10 year olds down the ramp and big hill in town...hahahaha.....ride hard, ride safe....ross

          Remember that guy also doesn't have any brakes (other than dragging parts of his body on the road).

            He is also either one lucky guy or they had this course purposely set up. Cause there were several turns where he had no choice but to cross over lanes and at least one spot I saw where he narrowly avoided the bike in the other lane.

            But yeah, the couple on the scoot looked like they let him by for safety.

              Insanity on 30-odd wheels. I'm sure Mr. Darwin will be paying him a visit soon if he continues with that hobby.

                I'm wondering why he even wears a helmet.

                I guess just to keep the pieces of scull together after he hits something.

                  just a personal observation...

                  hey there folks.....agree with all the comments, but something is still missing.....anyone catch the wheels he has mounted on his back.......what are those for....in case he barrel rolls and doesn't want to loose forward momentum.....if he were XSive, ya gotta wear the gear i mentioned above and do it on your back......groin first.....just to make sure ya pay attention to what is coming at ya.......hahahaha....ride hard, ride safe....ross

                            That's the same outfit I saw in the new Jim Carey movie 'Yes, Man'.

                            It's at the end of the movie, when the credits are rolling.

                            Cool suits... just keep thinking how bad that would hurt when a truck rolls over you... guess it wouldn't hurt for very long...

                              That may refer to gay Okies but a left handed cigarrette 'reefers' to something else down here south of the 'Red'.
